Desk/Writing Area Photos

[Lady Onogaro]

I have two drop-leaf desks with cubbies (one a repro, one an "antique" that would not pass muster with the Kenos because of all the fixes that have been made to it). I like them, but I don't really work at them. I usually work at a work space some enterprising person designed out of a bar area in the living room of my house. Or I work at the kitchen table. In fact, in many ways the kitchen table is my favorite place to work (maybe because it has the largest work space, or more likely for nostalgic reasons.

Agreed on the kitchen table & also because it is close to food.

Yep. And tea. Food and tea are good with writing.

1975 Ethan Allen (same year I was born) picked up at an estate sale 6 years ago for almost nothing.

So...the Anatomy Coloring Book...? I'm thinking it's reference and you're working on a crime novel?

Hahaha. Nursing student, I decided to change career paths a couple years ago and went back to school. But yours sounds way more interesting.

I miss my giant rolltop desk!

... and isn't that top left photo of an original '53-ish Corvette, back when they were truly cool? Who's running that?

That's my youngest behind the wheel. It's a green screen photo from the National Corvette Museum, I wouldn't mind having one in the garage though.

That's nice, must have been a good trip with the kids. Yeah, a '53 in the garage -- under lock and key most likely!

My desk is a J.F. Dietz #3 banker's desk. My wife purchased it as a gift to me a couple of years ago and currently it is not this neat It was manufactured in Cincinnati circa 1910-1920, and it measures 72" W x 38" D. The hutch and desktop come off the base, and when the drawers are removed it's surprisingly easy to move. But assembled, it ain't moving!

This is my new desk. This arrived today, so things may be moved around. Already thinking of buying a larger roll-top desk in the future (one more move) to house everything.

I used to maintain a full office in my home. Had a desk and credenza, etc. Now, I got ride of the desk and the surface of the credenza is limited. So, I now write on my dining room table and I like this set up a lot. I have plenty of surface to spread out with my paper, books, pens, etc. When I'm done, I can put everything away easily and have a clean table again. I still need to get a writing pad or blotter or something.

Slightly cleaner than usual, and sporting my recently acquired desk set. The desk itself was a gift from a prof, and the upper storage is from my grandfather's workbench. I cobbled together the bit inbetween.

Having spent the last however long using the dining table as a desk, with nowhere near enough storage for everything, I finally got a desk and shelves. Thankfully we have a big kitchen so the desk, and a dining table, and a fair bit more furniture, fits in here easily. Now I don't have to pack everything away all the time, and everything is within reach!



The bottom shelf and right hand drawer is all my stuff. Drawer easily holds inks, pens, other bits and bobs. Shelf is notebooks, envelopes, washi tapes, some inks, and letter rack.
Middle shelf and left Ahmed drawer are C's stuff (I give it a month before my stuff starts spreading out!).
Top shelf is books and bits - I can't reach up there!

You guys are just too tidy for me to post a picture of my writing space filled with 2 piles of books (mostly Maths as well as Tea books) on the left side, stash of around 20 bottles of ink behind the laptop and stash of paraphernalia on the right side. Behind me to the right there is a stash of paper notebooks almost my height.

Behind me in the centre there is a printer and a few small stashes of ink samples and pens for repair. On the floor 2 cases with my pen repairs tools and a couple more stashes of books of the same subjects on top of an empty box of beer bottles.

If you do not believe me, ask Jeph.

You're going to have a hard time maintaining a proper humidity with your humidor open.

Good thing it's for fountain pens then!

It is! I've taken many a study-break nap (both intentional and otherwise) in that chair. It was a gift from the academic dean (my former theology prof). The president of the college got new office furniture, so the academic dean got his hand-me-downs, and I got the chair before the vp of student affairs knew what was going on.

P.S. for the record, I do not smoke (apart from the occasional cigar-during warm months, and always outside). The ashtray belonged to my paternal grandfather. Now it has spent matches in it from lighting candles, but the best use I had for it was some 10-12 years ago when I used it to hold trail mix to keep my daughter occupied while I was trying to do my college coursework.
