The office


Fortunately, for this photo, the regular resident of this seat is enjoying a sleepover and so I tidied it up last night. All I did for today was remove one sheet of paper. I promise you that this corner of my living room does not always look neat.
The rolltop desk was bought for DD2 about 3 years ago for the princely sum of $15. It is still awaiting it's transformation to a finished article. The other desk is my own student desk, circa 1975. The chair is only a cheap one, possibly Kmart.

The dollies were made by me back in 2003/2004. The little wooden cabinet was a splurge at the Vic market a number of years ago. I still love it though it keeps trying to fall off all the time. And the lavender - well- that is just me. I love lavender and if I can't have the real thing (and even when I could!) I love to be surrounded with it. The pictures - one a card from the Bradman Museum, the other a bit of cutout work by DD1 - are on mats of fabric in 1990's style frames. Tissues by Aldi.

  2. Am I correct that lavender is supposed to help keep one calm ? If that is the case, I think we should all have bunches of lavender beside the computer, good thinking 99 :)

  10. I'm thinking your blog space looks quite comfy. Always good to have everything so close to hand as well.
    I bought myself some "not real" lavender some years ago and put it in a really lovely old style pot in the bedroom, and you've now motivated me into bringing it in to my blog space. It's definitely wasted in there. Thanks. :^)
