When I moved in to my apartment there was a long narrow closet in the living room. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it for a while. I thought it would be the perfect place for a long, narrow desk! A few months ago I went to the Fairfax Flea Market and found a vendor who sold handmade, custom desks as well as benches. I was in love with this simple desk and found that the dimensions would fit perfectly. I took it home for $120 cash. I still hadn't found a good chair that would look good and not take up too much space. Yesterday I went back to the Fairfax Flea Market and finally found this great chair for $40. If you read my post about the vintage chest I acquired from my Grandmother, you'll notice that the teal accent of the chest and teal accent of the chair compliment each other very well. I still have one last project to complete the look of my "hole in the wall" office, which is overlapping frames above the desk in various blues and tans. Hopefully I will get to that soon and can post the finished look!
