You may remember this good question from Jess that we posted back in January. She was looking for "something sleek and modern but not too expensive to house my laptop and papers that I can open up to check mail and pay bills but then close up to hide my clutter when I'm not using it since it will sit in plain sight in my living room". What did she end up purchasing? Jump below to see...
CHI Good Question Revisited: Before & After Desk Armoire
Jess had this to say in her email: "Much delayed, here is the final purchase. Thanks for your help (+the AT community!). Although I loved the more modern ones, I needed the storage and went with this one from Ballard Designs.".
We think this looks perfect in the spot and the dark finish is nice with the wall color. Thanks very much to Jess for following up - we love to revisit good questions from the past!

I think this fits great with modern decor, and will look wonderful for years to come.

Very nice! How much was it?

It was about $700, and the lamp is from Pier 1 about 2 years ago.
Thanks all!
