    Great job Katie! I’m so glad to see you use your chalk that was your only purchase from that huge ass crafting resale shop. 😂😊 By the way, my mom was the Queen 👸 of Contact paper back in the 50s and 60s. She was a writer, always had an office and all accessories were coordinated with Contact paper, including her desk blotter, the handle of her letter opener, her can covered to use as a pencil holder (as well as the pencils themselves) and spiral bound notebooks. I swear she kept them in business. 😂😊 ❤the Bro-Hoe style.

    Making an office functional but cozy while staying minimal is not so easy in a newbuild. Also, Ihate my adjustable desks surface! But I thought how awful it would look, wrapping that round edges...thought about wrapping it with fabric soaked in liquid starch (=worked on melamin chairs) but then... i could never drink coffee while working again, cause i cant be trusted not to spill it....never thought of NOT wrapping the edges.
