Workspace of the Week: Simple split desk

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Nicole’s small office:

I picked this week’s office simply because I like the way it looks. It’s clutter free and would be easy to reproduce. I’ll let the desk owner supply the details from the photographs’ descriptions:

The bottom level [of the desk] slides out so I can keep my books on it for studying and note taking. I also keep my sodas and stuff there so I don’t spill them on my computer. The deskpad keeps ink, coffee, etc. off my desk. The top level holds my computer, my lamp, my picture frame, and my special Hello Kitty Pez.

When I’m done studying or just want to goof off online, I can slide my books out of the way.

The desk has a power strip mounted in the top back of the desk top. It also has a usb, phone, and ethernet jack (although I use wifi).

Thank you, Nicole, for such a terrific submission to our flickr pool.

    I love the kitty bed underneath! There’s nothing like a cat to warm your toes and keep you company while studying :)

    Sooo clever! I think I know of a little furniture project for the house I’m looking for :)
    Best,

    It’s cute but ergonomically very poor. She shouldn’t be typing on the laptop keyboard on a desk that hight. Bad for shoulders and posture. She’ll also be staring down at the laptop screen which is bad for the neck.

    Anyway to find out where to get a desk like that? I am loving the split level.

    I love that desk! I just downsized into a smaller apartment and would love to know where that desk came from. Anyone know where I can get it or something like it?

    Very clean and simple. Are you sure your kitty sleeps in the cute bed and not your lap?

    Container Store sells a split desk in Walnut.

    I love the green chair! I found similar styles but not the same color. Any idea where I can find it?
