THE DESK I WISH I HAD!

September 27, 2009

Home office in a city loft with a simple teak desk and wood open back chair
Sunday is a work day for me! Does anyone feel sorry for me?

Anyhoooo….if I could be working at this city loft home office … or should I say desk … I think I would get a lot done. Clean, simple Danish modern teak desk with a wood open back chair. Nice.

I know some of you will say the chair looks uncomfortable, the desk is too small…etc…etc..etc. Maybe so. To me, though, this simple desk vignette is about clear and focused thinking in a simple space.

Oh, did I mention how much I love the windows and the city view?

My life is nothing like this at all!!! Instead of being seated in one place, I am moving from room to room with my laptop in tow…trying to make the best of my non-existent office at home. Help!

Maybe, I’ll go work outside…on the deck…where there is a view. That could help.

    I love love love that desk! I too have attempted to create a home office, but the only spot for it is in my bedroom. Hey, it’s definitely better than nothing!

    I’d love to have those huge tall windows by my desk 🙂

    I’m afraid I might spend so much time gazing at those great windows and amazing outlook that little work would get done. But, like you, I love the space!

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.
✨ Want to make it yours?
Comment SALE and we’ll send you the link. Then just tap “Add This Board” to save it to your Chirpyest account.
Or grab the link here 👉 https://www.chirpyest.com/s/cocoedit/summer-sale-2026/2071?mode=share
From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Panic mode activated!
If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
