Next Home: Must Haves
When we move, there are certain design elements and furnishings I know I want to have in our next home. I thought why not start capturing some of these ideas and thoughts (in no particular order) so when the time comes I can refer back to it and start planning. So, to start, I would love to have a secretary in our next home.
These pieces are ideal for small or narrow spaces - in an entryway or between two windows. They offer great storage for a little real estate.

While modern versions do exist, I'm partial to more traditional pieces paired with modern pieces. I could envision it in the hallway, bedroom, living room or office.
It's a great way to add symmetry. Do you notice how each of the pieces either have windows, chairs, sconces, ottomans or artwork flanking the piece? And, who cannot forget Eddie Ross' stylish before & after secretary makeover?
I'm always on the look out for a fabulous secretary and you can be sure there will be one in our next home (whenever that time comes)!
Secretaries aren't too difficult to find either. In the past year I'm seen a number of them at a local consignment shop. Of course they could use a little work, but if you aren't moving soon, you'd have plenty of time to work on a piece if you find a good deal.
