Functional & Decorative: Computer Desks

I’m planning to buy a new computer desk and I’ve been looking for some ideas. The desk I’m using now has an overhead shelf and has been designed to hold VGA monitors.

Spring Design Inspirations from ducducnyc

I came across ducducnyc the other day while reading Houzz newsletter.  I love the splash of the vibrant spring colors in these infant room inspirations.  Parents who are excitedly preparing a room for their newborn must see these.  Or take away the crib and these would make great design ideas for grown-ups too.

This dominant white room is a little too much for me but I would love to buy myself a few white accents. The hard part is deciding which pieces to get as I can’t seem to pass off any piece.
