Flickr Finds: Floating Desk

Sometimes you just wish your desk legs would just disappear. This DIY project attaches the desktop to the wall and the result is an attractive, streamlined workspace.

With a little construction know-how, you too can create a legless desk. Simply mount the surface to your wall studs, reapply some drywall and you've created a desk with minimal impact . We like how they've added space to run the monitor and peripheral cables through the walls, as well. No sense destroying all of your hard work with a few rogue cables.

uhm, I'd venture to guess the computer is on the other side, as to maintain the minimalism.

when you install a new system do you take the monitor into the closet? Likewise, looking at CDs or DVDs on the computer at other times?
