A Very Cool Desk Idea

Anyone who is involved in living tiny knows you live, eat, and sleep tiny. While I was laid up in the hospital, pining for the comfort of my Tiny House, I spotted this number on the wall. I contemplated its clever design for quite a bit, wondering if it would work in my Tiny House. 

I dragged my sorry carcass out of the bed to take a few close up photos before I was discharged so I could share with all of you. 

I like the slim compactness of the wall desk idea. I like that a flat surface folds down for the keyboard and paperwork, but most of all I like that it folds back up hiding the unsightly mess of cords. 

This got me looking around on the web (not like I can do much else right now) and I found some similar type wall desks I thought I would share.
