A Desk of My Own

Just over a week ago I saw a post on a friend’s Facebook page with a picture of a desk and it said, “free! come and get it!” I immediately texted said friend and asked if it was still outside and he said yes and Dale and I jumped into the truck and headed over to grab it.

I rearranged some things in my studio: I moved my sewing table into the guest room, I packed up my fiber stash (I can’t even remember the last time I sat at the spinning wool), I moved my Cricut supplies out of the cabinet they were in and into the bench where the fiber had been, and then I moved that cabinet on out of the room. You can see how the studio used to look here, if you’d like.

It was a very simple process and literally took less than 30 minutes. And then Dale and I brought this desk upstairs and put it under the window and I sighed with contentment.

It’s in near perfect condition and it fits under the window like it was made to go there. I have wanted a space like this in my studio forever . . . a space to sit and plan and stare out the window, a space to work on my computer and write lists and make plans, a space to journal, a space with great lighting for zoom meetings, a space to work on OLW and to create art.

I’ve already spent more time in this room than ever before and I love it. My buddies cuddle in the chair to my left to keep me company and it’s all just . . . good.

Could I have bought a desk and had it here ages ago? Absolutely. But I never did because, you know, shopping and making decisions and . . . ugh. This free one, though? Perfection.

And the truck is already paying for itself, too.

  1. Terrific! That desk looks like it was made for that spot. Your studio looks so nice. I am in the process of reimagining a space in my home but first have to deal with all the clutter.

  4. Perfection, indeed! I would love to have a space like that, but as you said, shopping and making decisions is really ugh. And since I don’t have a truck, there is the hauling… Congratulations on your new space!

  6. I love it when things work out like this! I agree that it looks perfect in that space. And you certainly can’t beat the price or the ease of picking it out! 😉

  7. It’s wonderful when things fall perfectly into place like that, and so much more satisfying than if you had gone out and bought a desk. I’m not a big believer in “everything happens for a reason” but you did have the truck and a way to transport the perfect desk. Enjoy!

  10. Everything about how the desk came into your home and how you made space for it – literally and figuratively – is delightful. I look forward to seeing you on a Zoom call with that great lighting!

  12. Your friends picture of a desk made everything fall into place and now you have a room of your own! Needs change over time. Making a desk the center of my room, my home, really, was a good move. A new space is a draw and you’ll be creating a whole new way!

  14. I love it!! It’s so nice to have a space like this. (those kitties are sitting on my chair though…just sayin’..LOL)
