I'm big on buying good stuff and then using and using it. I had a small antique oak desk when my husband and I got married. I was using it for a vanity at the time. It didn't really fit in our townhouse bedroom so I used it in the tiny breakfast area to sew on. Then when we bought a house, I got one of the big tables we use at the office for my machine and the desk went back to being a vanity. Later, we bought a larger house that had a sit down vanity with a knee hole in the master bath so now that desk is back to being and small desk. I love doing that
BTW, I also have 2 chairs from the study in the first house that are in the bedroom and living room in this one. And the bookshelves from that study are now in one of my sewing rooms for my sewing books and magazines.
