WHERE did you find all that great Tolie?  It's fantastic.  I would never have though to use packing foam to make a desk, but that is neat.

the toile came from France (were else eh? this is the true origin. the real name is "toile de jouy" is and it is originated from Jouy en Josas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toile)

the desk is not packing foam, but made of wood ,I used foam behind the toile (like panel) 1 with toile the other with burgundy plain fabric 

I've made the desk drawer with matchboxes and finished the edge of the desk with cotton braid/trim painted in white.

 recycling is the key.
