Frenchy Blogging Desk

One dreamy, sunny afternoon I was strolling thru the Lakewood 400 Market in Atlanta a few years ago and I stumbled upon this gorgeous desk.  I had been wanting a desk to sit at to do my email and blogging at, for some time.  But when I saw this one, it stopped me right in my tracks.....I just had to get it.....


Just love all the embellishments and finish......it was exactly the look I wanted in a desk.... 


It has lots of great storage too......got to have a spot to hide that clutter......


Nice deep drawers.......to fill up.....with lots of junk!....


And a great chair to go with it......
 

Love the stenciling on the burlap...........



Even the back view is lovely.......


Really enjoy the Frenchy look.......somehow it inspires me to blog better.....and that's my story and I'm sticking with it! <grin>

Where do you blog from?
