ever since experiencing the double monitor set up at work, i’ve been eyeing one for my own desk! it’s way more ergonomic and comfortable, and i’m so excited to finally have one ✨🖥 this desk revamp took way too long, and i did my take on a ‘the shadow of the wind’ aesthetic (books, stuffed notebooks, written letters, messy piles).. but i love how it looks :) i’ll have a full video of my desk details soon! ✨✨ (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaCb8PpP_Od/?utm_medium=tumblr
