CREATING AN INSPIRING WORK SPACE WITH FLEXISPOT
The time is coming where school is starting (or has already for some people!) but this year looks a little different than the rest. Only a couple more weeks and we'll be sending our teen daughter off.. down the hall from her bedroom, into the family playroom, to her brand new desk setup!
This year, we committed our daughter to a full-year home of distance learning. It was not an easy choice that we could take lightly. We literally waited until the very last day to register her because our brains could not wrap around the idea of keeping her home or sending her back to school. There is no right or wrong, but we chose to take the safe route, mainly for the consistency. We didn't want to go through a rollercoaster year of keeping up with what the school districts were planning.
It was a tough decision but it was a million times easier knowing we have the space, time and ability to give her what she needs to be homeschooled! We designated a space in the family playroom for her very own desk setup. We are so lucky to be collaborating with Flexispot to show you this incredibly durable, modern & functional sit-to-stand desk!
FLEXISPOT SIT-TO-STAND DESK
This electric desk is completely height-adjustable with the ease of just two simple buttons that controls up + down. The frame is made of industrial-grade steel which makes it extra durable. I was actually really impressed with the quality when it was being assembled! I have no doubt this desk will last for years to come. The tabletop is large (48"x30"), allowing plenty of space to set up a laptop with extra space to work + for supplies.
Simple 2-button keypad
My desk is originally the all white frame + top, but obviously.. you all know I had to spin my own magic on it! I love a good D.I.Y. I bought 4 rolls of twine and wrapped the outer legs to give it a cozy feel. I love the simplicity of the leg frame shape already, but I wanted to add a little warmth to the desk to be able to match seamlessly with the room.
I used a hot glue gun once in awhile to make sure the twine didn't budge. This was an extremely easy cosmetic upgrade to the desk! I left the inner part of the legs untouched so the table could still functionally slide up and down.
For the rest of the setup, I decided on an inspiring gallery wall that caters to my daughter's interests. She's a musical, artistic girl. The Mozart statue, Mona Lisa, violin are all pieces that really give off a creative vibe. I hung a couple vintage pieces up of a world map and Old English lettering (both found on either google/pinterest, printed out on canvas paper). I found a weekly planner printable and attached them to the cane frame.
The pretty desk chair is from World Market.
We decided to set this space up in the family playroom as it's the most peaceful section of the home. It's away from the main living areas and the ironic thing is that our toddler son rarely goes in there unless we all do. It's actually perfect! & It'll help avoid having my daughter stuck in her bedroom all day doing work, or being bothered by her brother while she's trying to remain focused. I am so excited to see this desk put into action soon!

The desk chair looks to be sold out on World Market but I've listed a couple other beautiful options. Most items for the gallery wall were thrifted or DIY'ed, so sources below are not exact products that I have pictured above.
