It's a little saddening that you went to all that trouble to get the right corner desk and now there isn't a corner to put it in.
My apartment is just the opposite of your new office. It faces east, so in any season but summer the morning sun is a problem. Lucky for me I do have blinds, even though blinds are all I have. My last little place had curtains so thick that the room was actually so dark when they were closed that you couldn't read. It was perfect for computer stuff.
