Ever since we moved into the Baby Bungalow, I have been wanting to put a desk in our second bedroom. We've been hoping to make it a dual purpose room---office and guest bedroom. I found a few ideas on Pinterest that I used as inspiration.

I was particularly drawn to the dark metal trestle legs. Ikea carries a gray types of these legs for $10.99 each. We picked up a few over the holidays while we were in Canton. I also really loved the thick, wooden table top look. Ikea had this butcher block table top that I liked, but it was $80, more than we were willing to spend. Ultimately, we decided we could make our own.
