A French Desk

I work from home the majority of the time so having a fully functional and attractive work space is important to me. Karina and I usually set up our computers on the kitchen island and have found it pretty great, but we do often get sidetracked the minute one of us gets hungry and decides to make lunch. It means we have to clear everything off and either take a break or continue working on the sofa. So because of that, I've been casually browsing Ebay and Craigslist to find something that could work in our apartment.

This morning, I stumbled upon this. Designed by Samuel Accoceberry, the landa desk features a channel for cable management, a red dust barrier to prevent dust from getting into between the cracks of the wood and incorporates functional details and hidden storage spaces. So while it looks like an Ikea desk, it's actually so much more! I bet I would be very productive with this desk.

A table for friends

Speaking of nature-inspired furniture, wouldn't it be fun to have a farm table with benches? Would be perfect for a casual Italian dinner with red wine + good friends.

P.S. This one is nice too.

A Natural Home

Jo, of Desire to Inspire, recently posted on how she can't stop thinking about furniture maker Mark Tuckey's stunning Melbourne home. I can't blame her. Isn't it gorgeous? I especially love the contrast between his natural furniture + the bold David Bromley art pieces on the wall. And that bathtub? - yes, please! See more drool-worthy photos here. :)

Happy Monday, sweet peeps xo
