Bridging these levels of mundane and not, a month ago, fed up with not having designated art space, I cleared out an area in our house (admittedly, a secondary toy space of Laurel’s, although she seldom played there…) and bought the Vika Gruvan/Vika Artur trestle table. And apparently not-so-weirdly, immediately following, several design jobs came in and someone I had just met through Boston Mamas told me about and encouraged me to sign up for my first artist/vendor show. More evidence for the case file…

For those of you looking for a desk to call your own, this table is fantastic. The white is fresh and modern, and the trestle legs and glass shelf tabletop offer ample storage while encouraging you to keep things organized and streamlined due to the open layout. The table fits perfectly in our sunlit bay window and the creativity has been brewing in high gear since it’s arrival. And Laurel didn’t even mind the shift in space; in fact, she’s pretty happy about the fact that her art desk now sits between mommy’s art and office desks.
