Desk

The desk was reasonably sized and sat in the corner, in fact, the desk itself was designed to be placed in the corner. If all the shelves were removed, the desk would look diamond-shaped with the tip cut off and the flat top is where the person sits. There is a gap in the corner where the diamond tip would be so that cables can run up from behind.

There is one high shelf above the back area, high enough for a monitor to sit underneath. The desk is mostly symmetrical, with almost identical shelves on either side of the middle one. Two boxes elevated a good few inches from the desk, leaving a pocket for stationary and the sort. There is space above the boxes for anything else too high for the gaps.

The boxes themselves are what make the desk not quite symmetrical. The box on the left is two equal width vertical gaps, designed as bookshelves. The box on the right has a length of CD slots and the rest is a little doored cupboard. 

It's a decent desk to use in an office with small space, but alas, the owner of this desk uses it for her craft and so it does not have a computer at it unless she is typing on her laptop. This desk has a stack of jigsaw puzzle boxes stacked in the large gap at the back with a complete wooden DIY magic emporium on top. This large gap also holds a clock, a LEGO build and a DIY wooden music box orerry she put together a few days ago.

The two bookshelves have a few things that belong to her brother on one side and has her sketchpads, colouring books and learning Korean books on the other. The right box has CDs that also belong to her brother and the little cupboard that yet again, has stuff that belongs to her brother. Though there is a piece of paper stuck on the door that has the holes in her book that she has put up there to remember to fix while she writes the current draft.

On the desk itself, she has pieces for her latest wooden DIY, her tool caddy with pliers, scissors, ruler, wire stripper, wire cutters, box cutter and some glue. There is also a wax diffuser and candles because sometimes this room smells like wood, for obvious reasons, and it's not a great smell. There is also two lamps, one behind her work station to light up most of her work and a second one clipped to the front of the desk that has a magnifying glass because sometimes she needs to get in close.

The top shelves of the desk have more of her LEGO builds, a giant 3D puzzle of a TIE Fighter and still some more weird stuff that belongs to her brother. It's a mess, but you should see it when she is actively working on DIY projects, crap everywhere.


Prompt: Write about a piece of furniture in the room you're in.

I chose the desk I work at because it's the most exciting thing in the room. This is actually the spare bedroom, though originally my brother's, hence the amount of stuff that is his on the desk, but I have since reclaimed it as my craft room. The bed is covered in yet to be built DIY projects and the stuff I need for the current one. The bookshelves and the tall boy are covered in 3D puzzles, more LEGO and framed diamond art work. Yet more framed diamond art work is hanging on the walls.

I'm sorry, this is not the spare bedroom, it is my craft room that happens to have a bed in it. I lied earlier.

And just in case my description was not good enough, here is a picture.


Like I said, it's a mess.

Why I'm Here

For this prompt, I'll put it at the top. The prompt is "write about why you write." I felt like this is more of an intro than ...
