Downsize Your Desk To Fit Your Laptop

I remember growing up sitting at a huge desk that housed the family computer and bulky CRT monitor. I don't know about you, but it seems like everyone has a computer with a flat screen monitor, a laptop or an even teenier netbook. To add to that, we no longer have stacks of CDs or floppy discs to take up even more office real estate. So that means we can all ditch the large desks and go for something more space saving and streamlined. Choose something small compact like the Flip Desk from west elm or something even smaller like the Nestable stand which looks like a music stand for your laptop. Now you just have to tackle the tangled cables in the back! Take a look at my slideshow to see more desks for the modern office.

Is it just me or the rugs I see in many of the foyers, rooms, and hallways that I encounter are either traditional Persian rugs or plain monotone or color blocked rugs? Where's the fun in that? There's a whole world out there where rugs can be fun and practically pieces of art that you can walk all over. Designers like Jonathan Adler and stores like CB2 have been creating fun rugs in response to all those dull dishrags out there. If your tastes run towards the more conservative spectrum, I really like the super soft Sheepskin Rug. For the inner child in all of us, take a peek at the Hopscotch Rug! Just remember, rocks aren't included in this one. For more whimsical floor coverings, take a look at my slideshow.
