I saw this blue desk on Design Sponge over a year ago.

I've been obsessed ever since. My goal was to find this desk somehow. I've been watching Craigslist for a year, I've looked on ebay, I've found some quite expensive and ravishingly gorgeous Danish teak secretary desks. But I took on the hobby of watching for this desk, somehow. The other day I found an ok approximation, over an hour away, and more than I felt like spending. Especially since I want to paint the darned thing. After 2 days of agonizing I didn't take that one. And then today... (well you knew this was coming, right?) I found it. Not sort of it, but what appears to be the exact same model of desk. In a different state.

I called the number on a whim. I left a message. "Hi, this is a little crazy, but I really like your desk, I'll pay what you're asking, but it will really only work out if the desk happens to be magically getting to Seattle". I get a call back in less than 5 minutes. The woman says "so, just *what* are you asking?" I said "Well, if you happen to be driving to Seattle this weekend that would be great and I'd like your desk. I realize it's silly but I thought I'd throw it out there". She said "well, I probably am". Logistical conversation ensues, and I'll probably get my desk. Which of course means I need something else to look for on Craigslist now.
