    Default My Write Space

    So, I found this fantastic storage for all of my paper stuff today, VERY excited. Since all this goes in the library, I thought I would share some pictures of the space where I write my letters. Forgive the chaos on the table, it is part of the reason I needed a better solution.uploadfromtaptalk1372797925275.jpg

    And with drawers open

    And so this is where ink and pens are kept, as well as embossers and the box on the top shelf is full of wax and seals.

    So stepping back, this is one side (pen stuff behind these glass doors)

    And the other side. Forgive the glare on the glass doors from the window.

    And behind the other glass doors. Stationery is in the boxes disguised as books. All of your wonderful letters are up in the basket, which has popped its cover as a consequence! :-) Misc other items I will be organizing this evening.

    Thank you for sharing this with us, Tracy Lee! This looks like such a lovely, sunny room to write long letters to friends in.
    I cringe at the thought of showing my "write space". LOL.

    I LOVE my library, and it was years in the making. IKEA made shelving and lighting super easy and affordable and gives it all a super rich look. There is a big chair at the window, the cats really love that. One of my cats can climb the ladder to snooze on the top shelf. I never seem to have my camera handy when he does, and when I do have it, he won't climb. But its a comforting, quiet room with plenty of light. My little sanctuary.

    I really like the idea of the nice round table and four comfy chairs!

    My library is in storage. I am freeing it one box at a time, and I hope to create a space as comfortable and inviting as you have there. Your pictures are inspiring!

    That looks to wonderful, it is so inviting. I wouldn't be able to go to work if I had a library like that.
    As Reprieve said "that chest of drawers that looks like stacked books"


    And I love the palm tree fabric on your chairs.


    I would be truly inspired to do some re-arranging at home if I wasn't so lethargic.

    Thanks, Bogon. The table IS a stack of books. Spines say Jane Eyre and other titles/authors. It has a great feel to it, just perfect. Big fat books so you pull the spine out as the front of the drawer and they are nice, fat, deep drawers. Very pleased. My mom made the chair covers for me, and throw pillows on the big green chair under the window match. The cats firmly believe they are climbing posts so they are now pretty snagged up which is a bummer.

    Tracy Lee, that is the best stack o' books table I've ever seen! I'm a fan of that style. Did you have this designed for you? (if you don't mind the question) If so, it would be fun to have favorite book titles put on. You could even have themed side tables for different rooms: cookbooks for the kitchen ; pen books for the study; sinister or scary books for the home laboratory. (I guess that last one only applies to Dr. Frankenstein. But still.)

    What a wonderful room! Thanks for inviting us! I mean, uh, showing us.
