I&#8217;m a pretty chaotic being and my workspace indicates that &#8211; however the work gets done, eh? I also ended up brutalizing my lamp, which is more of an hourglass\/teardrop shape. I also veered from the 100% flat aspect of the challenge by incorporating my desktop background and photos posted on my cork boards. When I re-flatify these aspects, I&#8217;ll let you know!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Result<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleychiasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-16-at-8.32.48-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-613 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleychiasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-16-at-8.32.48-PM.png?resize=702%2C356&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2014-09-16 at 8.32.48 PM\" width=\"702\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleychiasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-16-at-8.32.48-PM.png?resize=1024%2C519&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleychiasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-16-at-8.32.48-PM.png?resize=300%2C152&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleychiasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-16-at-8.32.48-PM.png?w=1466&amp;ssl=1 1466w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleychiasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-16-at-8.32.48-PM.png?w=1404&amp;ssl=1 1404w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>For the full interaction, please <a href=\"http:\/\/ashleychiasson.com\/Samples\/Flat_Desktop\/story.html\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And here is the real deal&#8230;for comparison sake &#8211; again, I realize it&#8217;s a bit chaotic.
