A Great Deal!

The other day I spotted this sawhorse desk on sale at World Market.  I've always liked the minimalist and streamlined look of this desk.

This price ($115 reduced from $230) can't be beat especially for a piece of furniture that is so versatile.  Of course, since I have this piece on my mind, I've been spotting sawhorse desks left and right.  Does that ever happen to you?

I really like the idea of using this desk as a console.  The styling with the baskets really creates a layered look which I love.

For an office, this desk is great.  I really like this look.  I'd take my world market sawhorse table, paint the legs black and replace the top with a piece of custom cut glass.  Do you notice the striped ikea tray on the desk?  Isn't it cute with a vase of flowers and a candle?

You can't go wrong with all white. Clean and minimal - perfect backdrop for a clutter free and fresh office.

Have you seen the most recent issue of Matchbook magazine?  It features the editorial director, Katie Armour's home.  I like how she paired her masculine, streamlined sawhorse-esque desk with a feminine french chair.  

I've always liked the idea of a workspace spanning the length of a wall.  At this price, I'd buy two sawhorse desks and put them next to each other to create a similar look to above.  I would then put a huge bulletin board above the desks just like above.  

So, if you're looking for a versatile piece that won't break the bank, I'd say you can't go wrong with this piece!
