Uh oh - decorating issues

Shit.
I'm seeing space issues in the room.
It's my computer desk. It was perfect BEFORE and it's a nice shape and I like it. BUT it doesn't fit into the corner (despite being a "corner" unit) I had intended it to fit into. It's the baseboard heating along that wall. I can't put the desk against the wall with the baseboards. And it really needs to fit flush.
So, I'm going to tool about on Craigslist and Target and get some ideas. I MIGHT be able to work with the desk, but there's wasted space in the corner I'm looking to utilize. A nice corner set of shelves would be GREAT and give me envelope and office supply storage, as well as letting me keep the desk. Otherwise I need something that better utilized the space I have. I don't have enough to let the whole corner go to waste.
Has anyone seen those shelves for corners that stick on their own? I'm thinking a trip to Ocean State might see them - I know I saw them there about a month ago.
The bookcases are an issue, but I might put one between my bed and the closets, and just have the one set of cubes as a nightstand, instead of saving for the other set. I dunno, I need someone to bounce this off of. Plus I need help moving the bookcases. M had better be coming over later *heehee*
OK surfing then more furnture moving, and I need to check on a client. Wheeeee!
And MAN is it freaking HOT in here! I'm dripping again! Eeeep!

Date: 2004-08-31 01:36 pm (UTC)what's butting up against the baseboard is necessary to the stability of the desk. I can't cut into it at all. Plus it's metal.
I'm thinking if I take off the CPU stand I can get a better angle. I hate the stand anyway - it's extending the OTHER end of the desk.
I dunno - there has to be a way to work this, without needed a new piece of furniture. The issue I have is that I can't lift the bookcases, so without them in place I can't see how the other pieces work.
*shrugs* This worked one way, there has to be another way too.
