updated my desk: "third" monitor in the right compartment - I love the modern tech in combination with the old writing desk. Ideas on what to put around the vertical monitor? I have some wood from the shelves that used to be where the monitor is. Or the red fake leather like the writing area?

Do I have a writing desk?

Yes. It's really a typing table. It's upstairs in my *one day* office, which needs to be cleaned out (with a shovel) so I can move in there and work.

I'm working on a table (that's too high) in the great room, surrounded by two stories of walls covered in great art.

First world problem.

ps. I also have an editing desk, designed to look at multiple copies at once.
