The professor dug our old Eames table out of the attic while I kept Sister from climbing up the ladder after him. It's the table he bought when we were engaged. He called me one day from Ohio and said, "I bought us a dining table today, and if you don't like it I'm keeping it for myself." I liked the table and we used it for years. True to his word, he kept it even after we outgrew it.
I suppose he's been keeping it for Brother to use in third grade. It sits in our bedroom now... the only quiet corner left in the house. This is where Big Brother retreats in the afternoons to wrestle with math and grammar. As the days continue to grow shorter I expect we'll have to dig out a little desk lamp.

quiet corners are near impossible in our home, too!
you have created a nice one there!
My oldest also has his own corner, a desk by the window in his room. Unfortunately, for this to be a quiet place, it usually means keeping little brother out of the room. Not an easy feat.
The evolution of family life is a sweet thing. Kelly
nice to know it can be that simple! We've been mulling over children's desk options too, just for art and writing projects that our oldest never stops doing.
i like that the professor has an interest in furniture. my dad is the go-to furniture person in our family. i always ask his opinion because he's gonna give it to you anyway.
Such challenge! Looks like you came up with a practical AND beautiful solution!
How nice for him to have a little nook of his own.
