Modesty Panel for the Desk
Only so much you can do with the non-stop computer cords under the desk. This is my favorite article for clearing the cords, but I couldn’t resist another excuse to add pattern to a room.
I bought some Amy Butler fabric, folded it the same height as the desk, and used small nails and mini binder clips to attach them temporarily. YES, a beautifully sewn and gathered modesty panel would have been fantastic, but I couldn’t help but feel like I might want to use this great fabric for something else down the line… I couldn’t bring myself to cut it!
One Year Later: Getting Stuffy
It’s been over a year now since we’ve lived in our condo, and the “new” is wearing off. I’ve been spending more and more time in my “croffice” {craft room + office} and I needed more room to work at my desk. So, out with the old {*gasp*}:
And in with the new:
So, this time I put the Ikea furniture together *off camera* and I was a little less smiley, little more *holy frick when will this be done* about the process, made a big mess, and finished in a show-stopping three days. Oy! I’m happy with the change, and the type-A side of me won’t rest until I sew a really cool modesty panel for below the desk {I’m told that my on-camera Ikea assembly will be part of a National Geographic show due to air October-ish. Don’t worry… I’ll post links when it airs if it turns out that the camera DOESN’T add ten pounds}.

And my FAVORITE part of the room, my new sasea boutique pillow cover! These are one of my favorite products from the {oh Yes!} party, and everyone agreed. This polishes off my black and white croffice theme, and makes my green chair look SO CUTE!
They have more ADORABLE pillow covers in their shop, and I’m keeping them in mind for gifts… you can’t beat the price of $15 each, and buy two get one free!
