      My actual desk. It’s funny how a simple “another flat piece of wood” can significantly impact the overall design of a space. My previous desk, which was five years old and still from our old apartment, never quite blended in with the rest of our furniture in our new space. So, recently, we finally got a new and slightly larger desk top, and it makes me so happy.
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      I really appreciate the craftsmanship and woodwork done to this piece, as well as the small details around cable management: from the little “trap door”, to the leather pouches and straps, as well as a subtle divot that runs it’s width to prevent stuff from rolling around.
