You don’t always need to buy a new desk when designing your writing space. This desk looks like one you might find at a yard sale, somewhat beat up, and of a style that was fashionable thirty years ago. Yet, paired up with a comfortable, but interesting chair and plenty of personal items to make the space your own, it serves as a functional and beautiful statement piece to work your office around. Don’t turn up your nose at thrift store finds, something you can find a diamond tucked away among the clutter.
