Fix II - The Desk

I spent hours surfing the 'net and visiting stores (Pottery Barn, West Elm, Ballard - all the usual suspects) looking for a new desk. I originally thought I wanted a sawhorse desk but became convinced it wasn't practical - where do you put your stuff?

Then the lightbulb went on and I decided to look in my own back yard - Scan Design. Instead of my usual, "I just want to look" I told the lady in the store exactly what I wanted and needed and she was so helpful! What I ended up with is actually a return but it's the perfect size and I could (and did) buy a printer stand that fits under it perfectly and has a second shelf for the dsl modem, power strip, and router. A white leather desk chair also caught my eye so I ordered that too. This should go a long way toward straightening out the mess in the corner and now the coffee table can stay in the room when the sofa bed is opened.
