2016 Desk Tour

Desk Tour

41 Sleeps To Go!!

Today I will be giving you a tour of my desk space and all the bits and bobs on it.

First, we have the desk. I looked around for a while for the right desk. Originally I wanted one with drawers down one side and with a raised bit for the bulky part of my computer. But when I couldn't find any that I liked I went a different route. I looked mostly online but also at the few furniture stores we have in my town. No such luck. I did consider a corner desk but in my office where I originally had my desk in was in the middle of the room and a corner one would have looked strange.

One fateful trip to K-Mart a few weeks later I found what I was looking for.

I found this desk. It has a desktop, obviously but down the bottom on both sides it has a little shelf. One the left I have the bulk of my computer and on the other, I have the larger part of my speakers and a basket filled with my bits.

The desk has black metal legs and a laminated wood look for the flat services, in a black brown colour but with white to make it look old and distressed. 

Now, the computer. My computer was actually a birthday gift from Weirdo. He is so lovely. The bulk part of my computer if a Leader and we got that from Electrical Discounter, the monitor is a Phillips from Total Telecoms (which I chose because it has the same name as my Grandad).

The mouse and keyboard are rapoo which came with my bulk part of my computer. I like my keyboard so I don't plan on getting a new one anytime soon. It makes lovely noises when I press the keys. I would like to get a new mouse as the cord isn't quite long enough but it's good for the moment. On my keyboard I have blue tacked a little chicken in an egg I got from my mum for Easter one year. He is just really cute, sometimes I use him to keep one of my rings or even my SD card in. I also keep a Paper Mate black pen on my keyboard to use on my planner. 
The chair I use at my desk is a dining room chair. I like it because it has a nice long back, it's comfortable and it swivels. 

On my desk in each corner, I have one of the small parts of my speaker. On the left, I have a little orange butterfly that lights up and Weirdo's Blue Snowball Speaker which I use to record my voice for my Let's Play series. Next to my screen but still on the left, I have some hand cream. This one is by Zoella and it is her Wonder Hand, moisturising Hand cream.

Just below that I have a pad Weekly Planner which I purchased from K-Mart. I use it to plan out my week for blog posts and what videos I would like tp upload that week. I also write what time I finish work and how many hours I worked each day. And any other notes I would like to add.

On the right side of my desk, I have a jar I covered with some coloured paper which I keep my pens, a few pencils and a highlighter I use regularly in. Just in front of that it a picture of Weirdo and I in a plastic frame I made at high School.
My mouse pad I got from EB Games and it is a The Sims 4 mouse pad. As a big fan of The Sims, I thought it was a good choice. Just above my mouse pad which is in the right-hand corner closest to the front, I have a coaster which I put my cup on, with whatever liquid I am drinking at the time. 

Down to the bottom shelves. As I mentioned I keep the bulk of my computer on the shelf on the left, I also have my Harddrive sitting on top of it plugged into the front.

On the right one in my basket of bits, I have any other items that I might need while at my desk but I keep them in the basket rather than clutter up my desk. In there I have my yearly planner, a notebook (or two), my laptop charger, lip balm, nail polish, chewing gum and my headphones in an old tic tac container which I thought was a perfect location for them. The basket is a Christmas one we got from K-Mart.
At the back not on a self, I have an entanglement of my cords I've clumped together using a twisty tie. Below that an old Fairy Floss bucket I am using as a bin.
