Here is a nice example of what can be done a small space. This wall-hanging desk is in constant use in the customer's home as a laptop location right in the center of things, just off the kitchen. The shelf below holds extra drives and other electronic goodies while the upper shelf is for phones and the sea of recharging devices that always seem to clutter. The top bin hinges at the bottom and drops forward to hold file folders for quick access. The style is evocative of the Arts and Crafts tradition but brought forward into a modern decorating style.
