a desk of one's own

I need a desk. Can you help me? I need a desk that is pretty, functional, reasonably priced, can double as a nightstand and doesn't have a bunch of drawers for me to fill up with nonsense.  Now that I have both girls sharing a bedroom, there is an extra bedroom in our house that needs to function as a guest room slash-office, and since I have an actual work-from-home-job, I desperately need a space that I can work from that is not the kitchen counter or the dining room table. I also like the idea of closing the door and not working while I'm trying to do my other very important MOM duties.  Conversely,  having a space where I can focus on work and not be distracted by everything going on in the house will be fab. Lastly, I think my waistline will benefit from me not being stationed in the kitchen all day long. Here are some desks I'm considering:

1. via

2. via

3. via

4. via  I originally chose option 4. I like that it's low key, minimalist but also a has some pizazz. But... I didn't pull the trigger, and lately I've been leaning toward option 1. A little warmer, but still a lot of style. Option 2 is out of my budget, but so nice to look at, and option 4 is great because it's a blank canvas (plus it's the cheapest, so it would free up some dollars to spend on a great chair....) What do you think? Where do you do most of your work? And do you have any tips for organizing a work-from-home workspace? So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say.  - Virgina Woolf, A Room of One's Own
