Well, maybe not that long but I had my eye on it forever. Its perfect-functional, not too gender specific and there are so many options. I was in love. But not with the price. Enter JCPenny Home Store to the rescue. They have a fantastic alternative. With our Christmas money burning a hole in our pocket, we took the leap and ordered the desk. I LOVE it! It’s hard not to love it based on what we started with.

A countertop anchored to the wall. It worked, sort of.

The night we brought it home I had to open it and set it up right away. Unfortunately, in my laziness excitement to paint our office the last time I didn’t paint behind the old countertop. We were dealing with a 6 inch strip of wall in blue. A minor detour.

Well, it’s all painted and in it’s place. The storage in this is amazing. I’ll be on the hunt for cute accessories to cute it up.
