Wayfair had some days of extra deals last week, so I decided to order a new desk for my upstairs office. The one already up there is small and I bought it for our first apartment on 44th and 2nd in NYC, a studio apartment with a brick wall outside the window. Perfect for that apartment, still perfect for the next apartment down in Battery Park because I was always busy dancing, rehearsing and performing, I only needed it for blogging. Now I have a big office space/guest bedroom on second floor and I have outgrown my desk.
The desk came yesterday, a week earlier than first estimated (I appreciate that). I lift it up on a cart down in the package room, gave Thor a lift to the apartment, carried it in and went back with the cart with Thor sitting on top. First I thought it was the wrong desk cause it had a different name than what I ordered, but after searching on their website a bit, that was the desk that came up, so I opened it. They did a poor job on gluing it together I guess cause it’s a bit scuffed all way around the top so I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep it. But you know what, I’m not that picky, it’s annoying to send it back plus what do you expect ordering from Wayfair? So when J came home, he helped me first to decide to keep it and then help me carry it up the stairs and I put it together.
It’s wider, taller, it’s white, has two drawers to hide note pads and small shit that looks like clutter. Ya. I’m pretty happy with this. Not the best desk in the world, but it’ll do. Now I have space to plug in my hard drive and phone to the laptop and write in my note books without having to put one thing on the floor when using another hahaha. I can also fit a coffee mug, all my pens and a lamp. I just needed a little bit more space. And I have an awesome chair with it that Jim is jealous of (it’s from Ikea and it really is awesome, best chair ever).
I am all for making life easier. A bigger desk makes it easier for me because I don’t have to decide if I want to write in a note book or write on my computer, I can do both. I have sometimes dread to go sit at my smaller desk because I had no space, so I created a desk on the kitchen bar downstairs instead but every time we are eating I have to put it away and it ends up as a mess on the stairs. Not ideal. So, now I have a desk with two drawers in the office upstairs, that will make it all easier.
Life should be easy, and that’s why I changed a few things when it comes to for example cleaning our home about a year ago. I clean the apartment a little bit every day (most of us probably do), but I do one thing that takes less than 10 minutes at a time and spread it out throughout the day, and then I set off a longer time for a bigger cleaning every now and then. In this way, it’s easy to clean and not a burden. Simplicity makes it easy to live:)
Ok, now it’s time to be creative. Have an awesome day!
I’ve spent time at the gym working on getting my body back all week, but not been pushing myself as hard as I would like to like I did last week because I don’t wanna end up sick, but I can feel some progress at least so that’s awesome.
