Desk/Writing Area Photos

Gee whiz, after kia's stunning desk and 00photo's gorgeous pen roll... why bother? But I've already taken the pictures!

Sometimes I work at this old desk that I have stuffed to the gills and I love very much. More often, though, I work standing-up at this table top I installed which folds down out of the way. Someday it'd be nice to create a permanent standing workspace that will contain my piles. Until then, I put up the writing surface and make a temporary transfer of piles while I work, then put it all away again.

ypsilanti, I really like your desk. It is the type I was actually looking for in the used and thrift shops I visited for a space between my kitchen and living room. The space is narrow, and I want function there. Then I saw the ink desk, and couldn't walk away from it for the price. I'm still looking for something in that narrow space, though (on legs with a enough space for the vacuum and a couple of dog's dishes). It's going to be my entryway table/desk, where I can drop my bags and bills.

Tracy Lee I didn't even see your by-line by this post! Sorry for not recognizing you. I just saw the photos of the room and immediately sat down and wrote a letter. Mainly in jest with my Maryland accent.

Haha, no worries at all. The books, by the way, are a wide variety. Mostly fiction, but the back right corner contains all space related nonfiction and cookbooks. Back left is art and archaeology and cultural resource related nonfiction. One whole set of shelves is all of Stephen King's books. There is a travel section, a miscellaneous section, but that gives you a good idea of what is there.

All of Stephen King's books? Do I detect a fan? I have a similar bookcase in my office. Love him.

Thanks! My mom found this desk decades ago. I'm delighted it lives at my house now.

Another place to look for this sort of thing is estate auctions. It helps to have a friend with a truck, too.

Ypsilanti, two very nice desks, the standing one is a novel option. At work there are some meeting rooms with "standing desks" too.

I'm almost too afraid to ask about the black obelisk thing with the skeletons on it ..........

Bogon kitchen table re-organised today for some InCoPenPal action.

It's Australia Day long weekend here.

Heck no. That would be very un-Australian Lots of young families out there on holidays. And RBT are everywhere.. Despite the nationalistic display, our national day is really not a celebration per se, but a day of gratefulness that I can down a Char Kueh Teow with an Asahi without too much effort as long as I obey the road rule

Asahi Beer! No, really I think it is his stunning Parker vac.

Well, this is about the cleanest my desk has ever been, so I took a picture.

Love that desk!

Lovely desk!

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

Procyon - nice desk. The SR-71 photograph would make me want to duck all the time.

Jackweb - gorgeous desk love the roller shutter.

Both great desks; so much organised storage too.
I think I need a desk now.

That looks like the desk I sold just about then. Bought it in 1969 and then moved across country without it.

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.
