desk extravaganza
last week ac and i ordered a new desk for our bedroom- i really need to stop working on a couch and he needs a place for his desktop. so i figured while i was looking for desks i would compile a list of some of my favorites on the market. it turned into 28 desk slideshow that i just posted. prices range from a target/ikea level to serious splurge status but since this audience spans that range i thought i'd include them all. ours falls in the budget range so if you're looking for a desk and would like some ideas just click here to see the full slide show. ours is the second desk in the slideshow...

I spent all weekend looking for a new desk (new school year, fresh start...) These are great finds- I'd only found a couple of them (pottery barn, offi). I especially like the one from Room and Board.
The cabinet/armoire style desks look beautiful, but I always worry that there really isn't enough leg room there to work comfortably. I think a smaller, sleek desk works well, can be easily moved, and is good when you want a view out of your window as opposed to looking at a wall.
If you are looking for a more affordable version of the Eames desk try modernwoodworks.com. I ordered a few pieces for them for my office and they are beautiful and match our "real" Eames piece from the same line.
Where is that black, orange, and white ball lamp from??? I love it.
Your slideshow made me want another desk - and I just got the West Elm Parsons in Polished White! I adore the Parsons desk - its super versatile and beautiful, especially in the white. My iMac looks gorgeous on it.

I recently started a personal blog based on my love for desks. You found some really good ones that I need to check out- thanks for the great list!

The lamps are a classic re-release of Lytegem that DWR sells (as do other retailers). I link to it from my name below.
Great day on d*s today - holy cow!
I still love my Max by Kartell with wheels and the Tolomeo with the clip by Artemide... and I would love to get a Catifa by Arper but with wheels and arm rest...
Very important to have wheels on things if you've gotta move stuff yourself!!
great finds grace- i'm in search of a L shaped desk, can you recommend any?
sure! here are some of my favorites:

but i'm always a fan of DIY desks, using two tables in an L shape or making your own from affordable ikea tabletops and legs.
good luck!

Great blog
Slightly off topic, we have a white desk on oak legs which we love, but can't find a decent looking filing cabinet anywhere.Any ideas?
the guys at Vessel make a pretty good worktable w/ hidden storage:
