Etsom·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once in a while.
With so many of the workforce working from home, home office furniture has become extra important. Since we’ve all got some kind of home office space now, it’s important that there be both function and style. There are some good options for all budgets.
By the way, though it’s now “unavailable,” this is the desk that really sent me down this rabbit hole.
What an ingenious solution for when you don’t have room for a desk (or want a standing desk that looks more like a piece of decorative furniture than something from Staples). By Solutions4lifeUAThough it makes my back hurt just looking at her, this is another good option if you don’t have space for a desk (and are young enough not to care about the accompanying aches). By ChezLiseDesignsI’m always a fan of vintage metal tank desks, and this beauty can be coated in any color you want! By SteelSantosWe all have that one fitness-obsessed colleague… NordicTrack Laptop Attachment by WALKiTASKTables like this make me wish I’d gone to school for architecture. By RusticDecoIncThis presumably garbage-picked item is described as “charming” and “shabby chic.” I would label it “total crap.”Another great space-saving solution! By PracticFurnitureI just love the industrial feel of this one! By SouthernRustFurniturAnd speaking of hiding functional furniture in plain sight, I just sent a link to this murphy bed/desk to a client who is looking for ways to maximize her studio apartment’s space! By AndysMurphyBedVery practical but still stylish enough to be out in your living room or entryway without screaming OFFICE. By SpiritHomeUSI think the only work I could produce sitting at this headache-inducing piece of decoupaged garbage would look like this.I am completely obsessed with this crafts-friendly storage desk! By UltimateCraftDeskSo simple yet so handsome! By BrickMillCoWhat a gorgeous example of Moroccan-style inlay! By LemonDedeMarrakechI just love living edge wood paired with resin! By LogeniWoodStoreVery odd-looking desk. Might just be trippy enough to get teenagers to lay off the weed! By OWNdesignstoreI’m kind of fascinated by this converted upright piano desk. It’s very expensive, but if you had a piano hanging around that you didn’t use anymore, I think it would be pretty easy to convert it! By EricaBradleyDesigns
Unusually for Etsomnia, I found I liked the majority of these desks. Some were more my taste than others but only two or three were abhorrent. This post reminds me of when we were in lockdown and I had four kids doing virtual school and a husband working from home and everyone had to get creative with their “desk” solutions.
That’s no desk, that’s a space statio… oh wait, it *is* a desk, too. And anyone setting up a desk in the living room or entranceway is asking to be interrupted by their kids every 2.5 minutes 😛

LOL. I felt the same. A little intrigued, a little triggered.
