Photo Walk :: Super Moon

Not sure if this technically qualifies for a "photo walk" since I just walked out to my street....

This weekend's "Super Moon" was quite a sight.  I don't know if it was more of a sight than usual, but it was beautiful in all its fullness and brightness.    I took a few shots of her, but found that my pictures looked a bit boring.   The above shot caught my attention - taken through the branches our barely budding Flowering Dogwood.

Enjoy!

When Nicole fell in love with Pottery Barn desk he knew he could not, he decided to create their own DIY version. Using the tables on them Effektiv from IKEA and two wooden file cabinet he found on Craigslist.





Nicole painted the desk and filing cabinets (only $75 for the pair) in Timid White by Benjamin Moore. She removed the legs from the Effektiv desk and created mental metal braces to attach the pieces of the desktop together and to secure it to the wall in the corner. The side portions of the desktop simply rest on the top of the file cabinets. The change between the before and after is dramatic, and Nicole's finished product is a DIY inspiration.

Quick Tip to Find Your Ideal Height Desk

You still need to figure out your ideal desk height. We've got a trick that will instantly tell you if your desk is the right height for you—even if you've got your eye on a tricky standing desk. Shopping for a new desk can be pretty overwhelming. Even after you've figured out the style and layout of the desk you want ( here's a great guide to help you choose a great shape)


Discovering your individual ideal desk height can be a tough task if you're shopping for something unconventional (like a standing desk) or building your own (maybe hanging a shelf-desk).

But we've got a trick that's never failed us: When you're seated or standing in the position you'd use the desk, rest your arms at your sides, keeping your elbow at a 90 degree angle and your upper arms in line with your torso. If the desk is the right height, your hands should rest comfortable on the desk.

If it's not just right, you're signing yourself up for a lifetime of back, neck and shoulder strain. Better to get the right desk now than regret it as you're cursing your sore shoulders later.

But if you're finding that your desk at home doesn't fit the bill, don't stress. If you can't change your desk, change your chair. Mess with your desk chair's adjustments or shop around for a new one that puts you at the right height for your office.
