speakers1.jpgWhen it comes to all things home design, my husband Aaron has graciously let me take the lead. But when it comes to anything home theater and sound related? That's all Aaron. He is an audiophile to the highest degree and the fact that I'm making this speaker guide without him makes me a little nervous. But our styles are wildly different and this guide is all about style-focused speakers that will look cute resting on your desktop. 

From larger speakers to pint-sized beauties made for your ipods, this speaker roundup has a great selection of options for any desk size. I'm still looking for a speaker that will embrace some of the trends in the home market right now (I'd love to see some that use vintage components) so if you have a favorite you don't see, please please share it in the comment section below. I'd love to be introduced to a speaker designer who understands my need for something both highly decorative and functional. - Grace
