When I shoot photos for the Desk, I always show you the pretty parts, namely the photo studio surfaces or maybe my glass desktop from Ikea. Today I present to you the chaos that follows me around the house. This right here is my ink swatching spot. It’s our dining room table, just adjacent to…

Desk Accessory Review: Rickshaw Bags Valet Tray
Review by Tina Koyama I’m a huge fan of Rickshaw Bags.
