But not just any space, I needed something that was functional, aided in my productivity and because I love all things fly, it needed to be fashionable and a reflection of me.And also since I do everything on a budget, I achieved the perfect desk space for just a few bucks with the help of Walmart.Chic desk space with leopard chair
