Working from home is a new reality that many of us have to deal with, because of the social distancing measures put in place in many businesses.
While all the adjustments we have to make are no easy, it also comes with a lot of perks, like no driving -or traffic- to get to work, a more flexible schedule, and no lunch prep! Transforming a room of your house into your dream home office is also an interesting part of the remote work adventure! Here are some DIY pipe desk ideas that will spark your creativity.
