Remember when we all thought we’d be back in our office jobs by January 2021…yup me too. Well, here we are January 2021 and going into the office still seams far off for many. Working from home absolutely has its pros and cons, but having a solid desk set up is so important now that WFH has become (and may remain) such a critical part of many of our lives.
I’ve mentioned that we brought most of our furniture from the BK apartment to the Manhattan apartment, but our desks were not one of them. Our manhattan floor plan is more rectangular and didn’t give Jordan and I the flexibility of having our own separate desks so…we decided to share a massive desk instead!
Our desk is the 8 foot, Aqua Virgo, dining table from CB2 that we actually found on Facebook Marketplace for about a quarter of the price (such a win!!). It did take a few very frustrating hours at UHAUL and some heavy lifting, but it was so worth it to save over $500.
It spans almost the entire width of the living room and I positioned the “office” in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to provide a somewhat seamless view.
This is my side of the desk! I’ve surrounded myself in plants ha! The wall mounted propagation tubes are one of my recent finds. Love that it keeps them off the desk (where I’m unfortunately spilled them a few times).

And below is Jordan’s side!
These black and green chairs came as a set!
Chairs
I keep a pretty minimal desk space including a notebook organizer, pen cup, laptop stand (game changer), task light, and of course, a few plants.
Lighting
I’m debating on getting a wireless keyboard and mouse, but for now, elevated laptop is all I need. This one is from Enkel Studios.
Desk Necessities
Planters are both from West Elm!
