Hi friends, I've been sitting here at my desk this afternoon doing some paperwork when it dawned on me, I don't think I've ever given you the deets on our home office desk. Well as you can see from this photo it's big and it's modern with awesome clean lines. But it's not really a desk. It's actually a dining room table!
Yup, we scored this baby several years ago after an exhausting search for an "executive style desk" for our then living room turned home office. But we couldn't find a quality wood desk for less then $2,000. And believe me when I say that many were $3,000 or more and I just wasn't going to pay that much.
So I got creative and re purposed a $600 dining room table from World Market and used it as our desk (with the help of a few baskets and a hidden file cabinet for extra storage). And guess what, we still love it! Our whole family uses this space every day and this table is still rock solid.

So my advice when decorating a home on a budget is to think outside the design box. Aside from saving money, you may be surprised to find something you love even more than a conventional choice. I know we did!
