the desk.

Oh dear.

This is our current set-up.

What. A. Mess.

I'm looking to streamline this entire area, paint the wall a fun and dramatic color, and put up some shelving.

This is where I spend a lot of my time working and crafting, so I'm also thinking about some pendent lighting to add above the space. Crafting and working on art projects requires a lot of light, and the lighting in this entire area isn't ideal--especially at night. Even during the day the shadows make it hard to see true colors in the projects I'm working on. Pendent or track lighting above the desk might help fix that.

Here's some pictures of what I'm thinking for the space:

So. Now it's just a matter of figuring out how to make it work on our wall that is 117.5 inches long and a little less than 3 feet deep. For now I guess I'll just keep dreaming about clean desks...
