The Desk

For almost 2 years now I have been using a folding table as a desk. Now it wasn't an ideal solution to my furniture needs but for a long time it didn't bother me.

Over the last few weeks I have been keenly aware that whenever the kids are near the desk it seems to quiver in fear. It might be that the kids are using the computer more and more or that Landon has added a need for them to be extra rough. But the "desk" had started to shimmy and shake. Each day it seemed to be doing it more and more.

I can't afford to just head out and buy real desk on a whim. So I made Cragslist my lurking ground. Each day I checked and checked to see if someone no longer wanted a desk with some substantial storage. I didn't want just any desk I had my heart set on a desk to solve some other issues in the house.... mainly a way to hide some of the mess.

Last night my wildest desk dreams came true. Here it was a desk that was about the same size as my wobbly table, with storage cabinets under it and a hutch above. And best of all the price... FREE!

With one look I was in love. This was my desk. I couldn't call fast enough. And was pleased that it was still there when we finally made it over.

And here is my desk.... The contents that are going to fill each of those cabinets are still scattered through my house... but I am no longer fearing for my computers life! And that is a success!
