40 Stylish Desks and Desktop Accessories
By Grace Bonney (from Design*Sponge) on August 4, 2010
When I decided to go full-time with Design*Sponge, one of the things I was most excited about was never having to work at an office cubicle or desk again. I've never been a big desk person, but as my work load grows, so does my need for a clean, flat surface on which to work. So today I thought I'd round up 40 of my absolute favorite desks on the market- including the one that came home to live in the home office I share with my husband. And because MyLifeScoop is all about technology, I've included a handful of my favorite desktop tech gadgets as well - ranging from Portland wifi units to easy to use trackpads.
