I spoil myself once a year by purchasing a custom furniture piece.
One year I bought myself a kitchen table.
Then I bought a TV stand. Then I bought myself two small end tables. This year I had been debating on what to get and finally landed on a desk for myself. I wanted a piece that fit my space for once. The desk I was at was super tiny. It didn’t have any sort of shelving and the wood was pressboard. You really can tell when you set any sort of glass or food on it. It left residue and stains. It didn’t clean up nice or look that great in my room. I have a huge window in my bedroom that I wanted the desk to sit in front of. My custom furniture builder was great about taking down measurements and building a piece that worked. My new desk now has a bunch of storage. There are both shelves and drawers. There is a place to store my laptop that is easy to access and out of reach from my kids. I have a file cabinet set up for tax information and important papers. I have exposed shelving that I have put plants on and other neat little things. My desk is now my favorite piece in the house. I feel the custom furniture builder has really outdone himself. It is so much better than anything I could have ever imagined. I really like that those pieces are much more reasonably priced than anything I could have found online. They also are way better than anything you could ever buy in store.
