Watermelon Desk Envy

I want Jenna Lyons’ desk.  It’s watermelon.  I mean really, does it even get any more fabulous then that?  I’ve been thinking about it all week and then, yesterday, I stumbled upon some random (and very cool) office with the very same desk (take two).  It’s a sign, don’t you think?  I did some research and it’s called the Strut Table and can be used for dining too (take three).  I’m in l-o-v-e.

P.S. Adore how Jenna paired it with an Eames Management chair and Beni Ourain rug!  The girl has serious style.

    I love her office and that desk. I just envy Jenna Lyons’ job, life, style etc.. ha!

  5. Shannon says:

    I bet you could paint a West Elm Parsons table in a similar color to get the look.

  6. Definitely a sign. Wow, this makes me want to redo my office entirely….what an amazing table and color.

    I think I have “leg envy”…. as I am 5’3″… and that model leaning on the desk is 10 FEET tall wearing the outfit I ENVY!!! … watermelon desk rates!

    Jenna Lyons can do no wrong in my book. I love the newest J.Crew catalogue featuring “real” women in its pages.

    P.S. I just blogged about your lovely Grandma Rita!

  13. Joanna — You are too cute. Can’t wait to show it to Rita when she returns from Egypt! She’ll be so flattered. XO

  14. So love your watermelon table! Classic lines with great color is always a winner with me. Hope you’re well. Have a great weekend.

  15. Chaucee says:

    That really is pretty much the coolest watermelon table I’ve never seen!

  17. it’s gorgeous. and crikey, jenna lyons’s legs are long! :)

  18. I’m with all of you—if only we had Jenna’s office, legs, Park Slope brownstone, wardrobe, etc. ……… SIGH. XO

  19. Love it but even better? I just checked it out and it comes in Robin’s Egg Blue!!!!! I want to be Jenna L when I grow up!

  20. Blue Hydrangea — I saw the robin’s egg hue as well—how does one choose?! XO

  21. Adriana says:

    I like all the hues, watermelon definitely tops it though….but..it’s a bit out of my price range!

  22. Jenn says:

    And don’t forget her two Tolix chairs…classic French cafe chairs.

  23. Amazing you found those other images of it! And the source. I love a good detective… the table is pretty great! I think I’d take it in charcoal or Robin’s Egg Blue.
