We have a very small guest room/study/war-room (coz that’s where we hide the mess!) that had a futon and ONE desk, which hosted the iMac + our massive All-in-one printer (fax/scanner/copier/printer/photoprinter). I would use it by day and get kicked out when TD came home at night and had to work on a table. Sometimes he would work in the dining room, but it really was a waste of energy because the ACs and lights of both rooms would be used. Also since the desk was home to a desktop and a printer it was so crowded there was barely any table surface. To solve it I decided to come up with a printer table/filing cabinet for all our documents and a folding wall-mounted desk for TD which would take up less physical and visual space in the super tiny study. Pictures of the custom-made solid teak furniture I designed with Danni after the jump!
FILING CABINET/PRINTER TABLE
I wanted 2 drawers for storing paper and other accessories. One drawer for scratch and another for new paper.
I also had 2 filing drawers, one for legal sized and another for A4. I love how organized hanging files look and I feel – it takes up less space because hanging files tend to hang down vertically instead of ordinary folders that will lean sideways and expand to take up the entire space. So I have these rods on the sides for hanging folders, but they are removable so I have the option to not use hanging files. (Who knows? I may sell this and that person may not like hanging files – I try to think of everything. =P) I also wanted partitions to better organize if I don’t find colored hanging files for color coordination.
And lastly the bottom filing drawer….
WALL-MOUNTED FOLDING TABLE
I love the wall-mounted table. It really met the objective of taking up less physical and visual space. And TD is happy that he has his own work space! YAY!
TA-DAAAAAA!
What do you think of these two additions to our DiploWorkstation? It is a work in progress because I would love to have a better looking wall, with perhaps some floating shelves. Do you know where I get my inspirations? Click here to see my pin board of workstation inspirations!

I want that kind of table for my books!!
A wall mounted table for books? Usually for books, the easiest thing to do are floating shelves. You can buy them in ACE and have someone easily install them. Or did you mean the filing cabinet? =)
The table is really nice for small room! As for the books, I know ACE has floating shelves, but the quality is not as good as I expected. So teak floating shelves is a very good idea!
Anyway, thanks to you, I contacted Danni and order my bracelet holder.
I understand what you mean about the ACE floating shelves. They are a good cheap quick fix but definitely not a great investment. Crap I still have 2 of them that I didn’t put up… I might have been better off just having danni make teak ones. I’m glad to hear it from someone else haha!
How cool! I would love to see a picture of your bracelet holder! I am intrigued!!! Do email me when you get it please? =)
Can you advise me where in Yangon I can source for solid timber cabinets . I am planning to be there in 2 weeks time .
Thanks
This is so nice! And that teak wood is elegant and sturdy at the same. A very good investment =)
Thanks Leah! I am so lucky that teakwood is affordable here in Indonesia and i’m definitely taking advantage of it! You are so right about it being a good investment…When well maintained teak can last a lifetime! This is why for our 3 years here in Jakarta… we’ve been saving and slowly buying each piece. Thanks for dropping by my blog and dropping me a line!
Can you suggest a good place to source for solid timber display cabinets where I can stock my collection of liquor bottles and others . I have in mind rosewood , but do you suggest I can get in Yangon . I am going to Yangon in 2 weeks time .
Thanks for your advise if any .
Hi KF Lee, I am so sorry but I didn’t do any research on sourcing wood in Yangon because teak is so cheap and good in Indonesia. I can only vouch for sourcing sapphire, spinel, jade and rubies in Yangon. Unfortunately I don’t know about wood in Yangon at all. Thanks for dropping by my blog!
