My writing/typewriter room and my favorite desktop machine...

1933 Royal 10 which unofficially has an almost permanent residence on my desktop.
The strike-thru blog I mentioned can be viewed if you click this link:  http://www.strikethru.net/  I believe this was one of the first blogs on the typosphere.  It is very much worth taking a peek.
Sort of post scriptum the house I live in was built in 1930 and though it is a little slummy and hasn't been totally well cared for it is pretty classy with its hardwood floors.  It was advertised as a "bungalow" and when I first saw it my imagination went wild and I still see it as a classic old-style writer's hideaway.  The wood floors and the porch are what sold me.
There is still room for more, but perhaps I should have bought three shelves?

    1. I'm pretty new, it hasn't been a month! In fact, that room isn't a month old either since I just moved.

    1. Thanks Scott! It's been a fun process trying to diversify and round out my collection.

      When I moved last month I chose the room I thought was best and with structured rules and a minimalist attitude I put it together. And it will stay that way too because I have other places to put clutter. In an upcoming blog I'll show some pictures of the front porch and the little fold up table I have for typing outside.
