The Writing Nook

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Tuesday, May 4, 2010


I'm afraid this isn't very exciting, and that's just the point. I've ditched the plan of a reading nook in the bedroom and replaced it with a writing nook.

Pardon the crappy quality of the picture. I'm shooting in mixed light and white balance is a bear.

The idea was to put something together with zero expenditure, and I did it. The table is an old sewing machine table, the kind with a second tier that wraps around the machine. I took a cardboard box, cut it to size, and filled it with other boxes to fill the space that would have held the machine, and then threw a piece of velvet on top to cover. The green contrasts nicely with the red katana sword. This is the bookcase that holds the Sherlock Holmes and Victorian-era history books, which will give me handy reference for the novel I'm plotting out. The cutting board is there to provide a smooth surface if I need it. (Yes, it's a new cutting board. Found it for a buck on clearance not long ago.)

Now I just need to add a folding chair, and I'll be set.
