Desk Update

My desk has changed quite a bit since my last desk post! I wanted it to blend in seamlessly with the nursery. That meant removing my framed fashion illustrations and banishing some of my cute gold desk accessories to the drawer. I also swiped the outdoorsy desk calendar Scott got for Christmas instead of buying a more girly one for myself. The shelves Scott built were the perfect spot to display some of the special keepsake baby gifts we received. The metal M was a Round Top find (thanks Allison!) and I bought the boat painting at the Glassell School of Art student sale. You may recall Scott also built the desk based on a Pottery Barn one. It was one of the the first things he built me when we were dating and the Kartell ghost chair was my first Christmas present from Scott. I love it! It’s an investment piece but there are plenty of affordable copies like this one under $100. My mom’s good friend Carolyn crocheted the baby blanket draped on my chair in colors to match the nursery; so thoughtful!
