I’m sad to admit it, but September is knocking on our door. While you won’t find me at Walmart stocking up on school supplies or picking up text books at the university book store, it always feels like the time of year to get back on track and get organized.
Which is why, I found myself searching for the perfect new desk for my den. My condo is a combination of dark wood and stainless steel. My current desk is dark wood, but offers minimal storage space, and in a small space, storage is everything. So my search begins. I want something that’s sleek, but that can hide all my notebooks (many, many notebooks), pens, agendas, laptop cords and cables, and really, anything (and everything) else.
SPLURGE: Albee Storage Desk, West Elm. $730.22
SAVE: Hemnes desk, IKEA. $345

What do you think? Would you splurge or would you save?
