I wish I could say I have some gorgeous, luxurious home office set up... but I don't. It's mostly a collection of what I could afford and what I needed at the time. But, even though my computer desk is not glamorous and decadent (as my ideal home office would be) it is functional and affordable. It actually looks similar to this one from Amazon. But, mine is showing the odd sign of age now. I could dust it a bit more too.

These days I could call my computer desk, which is the focus of my home office, bohemian. I like bohemian, it gives me some slack for not being especially clean or tidy. Bohemian allows some clutter (in a fashionable way) and even the dust bunnies fit into the Bohemian lifestyle. At least that's how I see it.

I have an assortment of stuff scattered over my desk. My old mousepad has now become the coffee cup coaster. Beside that I have a back scratcher because I don't really have another good place to put it and, I got a bit lazy last night and did not move it somewhere else. I also have the two remotes for the TV because I like to have it on, babbling away in the background. Some people work to music, I work to random conversations it seems. I've got assorted tubes and bottles of cream for my face and hand sanitizer which I squirt over my hands and the computer mouse too. I have my new hand-held scanner which I need to buy a micro SD card for still and I have my old photo scanner which is much loved but does not like my new computer well enough to stay plugged in to it. The rest is clutter I have to admit. You might think some of the above it clutter too... and you could be right.

Yes, I would love a hardwood desk for my home office. I can see it in my mind, lots of drawers and cubby holes. Heavy and dense, the sort of desk it would take several men and perhaps at least one horse too, just to move it into my room. A dark wood in colour but maybe a stain like cherry wood to make it look less serious. Curved lines on some of the drawers because I don't like a lot of squares and unrelieved straight lines. A romantic, almost shabby chic look to it. Likely some fabric somewhere, maybe a desk skirt, if that wouldn't be going too far. A desk like that should have some mystery to it too, not be just girly looking.

It would be a great desk... but I've got my bohemian computer desk right now, in the real world that is my life. I like it and I'm going to keep it. After all, it puts up with me and all my stuff.
