I love the colors in this room. Very inspiring. The dark palette (the red piece is fabulous) with the white curtains — and LOVELY white door knobs.

Very, very nice.

Wow! I love your choice of colors. This room looks amazing and I especially love the green bathroom peeking from a distance. So glad I got to see this and congrats on all of your fame!

Hi Amanda – sorry I’m so late in getting back to you… I was out on an vacation for the past week and some days. I’m at the desk now and the opening for the monitor is exactly 18.5 inches.

As to sturdy, I think it’s just fine. I was just learning on the top and Richie was leaning on it too (while standing up) behind me watching a video – that’s pretty sturdy. Like I said before, the best part about it is that the main lid just folds up with ease. I did, however make a custom desk pad (think chipboard covered with a faux leather like fabric substance so I would have to piddle around with mouse pads, etc) and adhered it to the work surface.

One more note, this is not ’some assembly required.’ It is TOTAL assembly required and by the end, I patience was stretched. But ultimately I love the look and it works really well.

I love this room and want to ’steal” some of your elements for our own home office. How is the Chinese Armoire holding up? I’m a little worried that as the “husband desk” it might not stand up to heavy elbows. Also, could you tell me the height of the desktop work space? It’s not listed on the website and I want to be sure his monitor would fit inside. Thanks in advance! Really, this is a beautiful transformation. Great job.
