Essentials #1: Work Desk

This seems completely basic, but it wasn't so basic for me. I've been living in my apartment for almost 2 years now and it was only a few days ago when I FINALLY chose and bought a desk.

Now, buying a desk isn't all that simple. A lot of thought actually goes into purchasing the right desk for your work needs. Things to consider are size, functionality and design. Is it long enough for all your equipment? Does it have enough drawers for your files? Is it made of good materials? Does the color match your room? And the questions go on and on... But don't think TOO much about it because you might never get one!

Having a desk provides an instant room facelift because it limits you from scattering things on the floor. And more importantly, it makes it much easier for you to work! Now as to how organized you want your desk to be, that's up to you.

Here are some before and after pictures of my life with a desk:

AFTER!

Voila! Not a total betty (yet), but a vast improvement! What do you think?
