Holly Mathis recently turned her breakfast space into a desk space. It's visible from the front door, so it's also pretty. A pair of spray-painted lamps (with new shades) from the thrift store, a linen skirt, file boxes from Wal-Mart, and a few pretty accessories do the trick.
Between the kitchen and dining room, the desk would also make a great buffet when cleared.

I am loving this skirted desk! I love the flanking lamps- and the tray is fantastic! (I grabbed one of these trays from Target and adore it!) Thanks for sharing such a lovely and functional nook!

Oh my goodness...too beautiful. It makes me want to decorate my desk!
I've been drooling over this for a few days since she posted it. I love everything about it and I adore Holly's style.
Love it. I also love the crayons in the dough bowl. Carla
Oh, I am in love with the lamps. We need lamps for our new place, so I am on the hunt. Great inspiration! And thanks for the intro to her blog.
{Loved running into you and your adorable family the other night! I must come over and visit.}
Love this. And the lamps look great. Amazing what some spray paint can do!
So so pretty!!! Very inspiring!
That is so pretty. ;) I need to vamp up my desk. Right now it's a landing place for junk mail and other odds and ends. Boo. Thanks for sharing!

Hi!
I came across your blog as I was searching for paint colour ideas. And I am SO glad I did!!! I haven't enjoyed reading a blog this much in ages. And you've given me a ton of fresh inspiration. Thank you so much!

Hi!
How do I follow your blog?
Jennifer! Thanks for directing me to Holly Mathis' blog. I'd never been there before and just added her to my blog roll. I hope little Elliot is doing well.
Holly's just the best in every way
I sure wish my desk looked like this!
Loving the skirted desk idea! I've been contemplating doing the same thing with my workspace. Yours certainly makes it more compelling to do so!
