5 of the best sawhorse desks
In the
January 2014 issue of
Canadian Living (hitting newsstands the first week of December), you'll find one of the sleekest, chicest interiors we've
*ever* shot for the magazine. Designed by
CityLine's super-talented
Yanic Simard, it's a Victorian townhouse that was given a fresh facelift, from the party-friendly main floor all the way up to the stunning
guest bedroom. One of my favourite pieces in the guest bedroom was this stunner of a
sawhorse desk, which allows the bedroom to double as a home office during those periods in-between overnight guests:

What I love about the sawhorse-style desk is how effortlessly it lends itself to various interpretations. Although its origins are uber-industrial, the form gains a "contemporary boudoir" feel when realized in glossy white laminate and polished chrome, for instance. In fact, there are so many variations of the sawhorse desk on the market today, I just had to round up a few of my current faves. Which take on this trendy home office essential speaks to you? 1) INSTANT ANTIQUE: Walnut Desk, $2,225, Elte.![Five Best Sawhorse Desks](https://m1.quebecormedia.com/emp/cl_prod/canadian_living-_-fcb934fb-1751-4dc6-b481-5f46a0920303-_-Desk1.jpg)
