tomi 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hey! So after some months my new desk arrived! A few months ago my dad rode me to my birth-city, where we know a carpenter, who accepted to make me a desk. So after 250 Km-s () we arrived. He asked what do you want like? And I told him. 2 days before my vacation my desk arrived (at 5am brrr). Now I can use it the whole day after joining the pieces together. Here's a pic. I know...I can't make pictures, but you can see the point. The best is that I had a chance to design it all! weeeee! Link to comment
Genenut 8 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 nice desk tomi... I have to find some friends like that *lol* Link to comment
gogoblender 3,078 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 wow, gorgeous! lol, like a pic from an ikea catalogue ^^ I love desks Tomi. It took me years before I was able to decide upon how I wanted my desk to be in my room. One of my friends had a very long table from japan in dark wood, heavy and ornate. I knew from that moment that was what I wanted. Just a very long table ,that I could zip my chair along it's length with. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I think desks are so important. We spend a lot of time at them, and want to be productive. Anything that's too short, or just turns us off is another reason not to do homework, or catch up on taxes on. Your desk has that extra touch, with the story of your and your dad going so far away to have the carpenter build it, and with your ideas. The curve is elegant, color and finish sharp. Enjoy the productivity. gogo Link to comment

gogoblender 3,078 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Desks like that are great...you've got the edges to which you can add extensions or tables. The table extensions usually aren't that much more, just get the top part with no extra drawers and you'll just "feel" more like a king May I ask what kind of wood it's made from? The carpenter looks like he's good at his craft. Bet you're scared of that first scratch huh gogo Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 That looks wonderful Tomi. Very nice work by the carpenter and your design choice is an excellent one me thinks. Oh and what a great window you have. I would love to have a window like that! Link to comment
tomi 0 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Ohh it's made by pinewood. The whole desk is made by 4cm wide pinewood pieces. All because that I wanted an arch in it. Anyway today I made a 0.5cm long pencil mark on my desk. =( can't clear it down. So guess what would I do with a scratch or crack or omg with a break. *lol* So yeah I protect my desk! Oh yeah big window. Too much light and sometimes I feel that every neighbor is watching me, but soon I'll get a curtain. Ahh and the smell of the new wooden furnitures! Link to comment
TelariTurunen 0 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 nice one I like it. lol, like a pic from an ikea catalogue question, how long does it take to make a mess on it? Link to comment

It will give you the privacy you want but still let in all that light. A proper desk that is comfortable for you and alot of light can be a very good source of creative inspiration. I love that window. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,078 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It actually is a pretty awesome window. Tomi, you guys live in a house, right? Is there another window on that house that is this window's mirror twin? gogo Link to comment
tomi 0 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well I thought 2 curtains. One to make privacy and one to make dark when it is time to make dark. If you know what I mean... Yup! In a house. And this is the biggest window. There are 2 almost big window as this, but they are splitted to two-two rooms. One under this floor, and the other is under that. Link to comment
stubbie 21 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Wow, that's an impressive desk! Sure beats the old ex-party foldout table that all my stuff sits on stubbs Link to comment
Lord of the North 10 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Beautiful desk Tomi, But I can't help but ask, What kind of view do you have out that window? Link to comment
tomi 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 View? You mean this view? Unfortunately the balcony there is really small, so I don't go out there... And don't really watch the view. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,078 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ahh, relaxing view suburbia...and you're up high, so the vantage is distinct. So different from what I see out my window. This makes me think that "view out our home windows" thread would be a great topic. gogo Link to comment
tomi 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 LOL! Take a try So different from what I see out my window. Ohh and what do YOU see from your window though? Link to comment
gogoblender 3,078 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Good question. Mostly a neighbor's courtyard, and the port-a-potty being used by construction workers I'll get a camera, and post pics. gogo Link to comment
tomi 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Gooooood! I want to see it! I mean I'd like to. Somehow every view is nicer in picture than in Real Life. Or maybe my eyes are going to die? Edited July 25, 2008 by tomi Link to comment
Lord of the North 10 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 love the View Tomi. When cam Mom, me and our boys move in with you and your family? Link to comment
