I picked up 2.5 meters of linen fabric from the bargain table at the fabric store , and simply stapled it underneath and voila , it is just what the doctor ordered. Perfect with the new old little bench { this was a dumpster dive item from 10 years ago } this has been a great solution for this desk area because of the tightness of the space , two kids can even sit together here now and use the computer, it's been perfect.
I gasped when I saw it sitting there front and center yesterday , what a pretty magazine , such beautiful photos it is one you NEED to get, I still can not believe I am included , it is very thrilling , page 28 .
Thanks again Linda MacDonald and Matthew and Jenny Mead for letting me play a part , it is a real thrill for me. Flea Market Style
Forever grateful,
Chris

What a great idea for a computer desk! I absolutely loathe the jumble of wires and ugliness that comes with a computer! This is perfect!
Thanks for sharing!

I've looked in 2 Shoppers, Loblaws, 2 Chapters and so far haven't found the Flea Market Style magazine. I did ask someone at Chapters if they could order it, so maybe it will be in soon. I'm waiting impatiently.
Love your desk skirt, by the way.
this is STUNNING & I love that you stapled it! What a quick but wonderful job! Love that ottoman seat as well!
ohhh pretty! love that
I want thinking about doing something like this for my craft table...Thanks for sharing!
I've been looking everywhere for this magazine for the last week. I can't seem to find it anywhere. My hub has even been looking for me. No hope yet.. Can't wait to get my hands on one
Great news, and the desk area is perfect!Good work!

Love the skirt! I am SO JEALUOS though, I have not been able to get my hands on the mag and went to check about ordering from them and it said SOLD OUT. :( Sad day for me. I am going to check a couple other options, I hope I can get my mitts on one!
How darling is that?? I just posted about my own office updates. You are so talented and your blog is such a joy to read!!! Wishing you a very happy weekend!
Hi Chris, your desk skirt looks fabulous, I have done the same this weekend but to my bathroom vanity. Have to do something to pretty the awful white plastic monstrosity up. Congrats to you on being in Flea Market Style, enjoy:) ~ Tina x
This is a great idea Chris! Perfect for hiding cords, my desk could probably use this since it's in our guest bedroom.
A couple months ago I was thinking about doing the same thing in our large guest bathroom. It is an older home that we have and it has a long counter with a drawer but underneath, the pipes for the sink are somewhat visible (if you are sitting on the toilet) LOL.
This would be the most budget-friendly and can always be changed out for new fabric later, etc.
Thanks for the inspiration. I LOVE the legs on your desk-beautiful!
Oh my goodness...I love your new desk skirt. The material is a lovely coastal, safari sand color. What a great idea to hide all the 'uglies'. And I just saw one of those white trays to keep nic-nacs in at Target...It looks so cute on your desk!
What a great way to hide all of the ugly wires. I can't wait to see the magazine!
Gee....if you manage to find another copy of the magazine Christine, can you mail it to me here in Edmonton?? lol I have gone to three different stores truing to find it, but no luck!! Whhhaaaa!
I gave you an award, hope you like it.
a desk skirt. what a great idea! thank you!

How great for you! That is very exciting. I hope that I can find a copy. I would love to see it.
Turns out the desk skirt didn't allow for enough air flow and the temp inside the skirt got too high, damn, it looked so much better with the skirt .
That looks great!! Spacify offers wide range of Computer Desks in modern and classic designs for your office or in home.
