Desk Dilemma

Last year, I purchased the small West Elm Bond desk for my little craft room ...

But lately, I've been eyeing the WE Pratt desk — in part because I love the file cabinet that goes with it. And now that Anthology is up and running, I need a file cabinet to devote to the magazine's operations.

I couldn't really justify replacing the desk though, especially since the Bond collection includes a perfectly nice file cabinet as well. Today, while flipping through the weekend edition of the Financial Times, I came across a desk that now has me feeling a lot more excited about my existing one. Behold the Stroller desk by Steuart Padwick:

I think I'm going to spruce up the Bond desk by painting the drawer fronts, much like the Stroller. And once I buy the file cabinet, I might paint the horizontal pulls on the drawers a matching color. I love a good project!
