Someday I will own

There is a piece of furniture that I have wanted to own for several years now. And that's a writing desk. Preferably a vintage/antique one that I would refurbish myself. So now I'm constantly checking online and there's an antique centre in Brisbane I want to check out.

Here are a few examples of what I'm looking for.

The little pigeon holes would be perfect to place journals.

This is a nice compact version and would be the perfect size for a little writing nook.

The drawers underneath could hold a lot of pretty stationery.

This colour is amazing and perfect.

I know that I will get a writing desk someday. A place to write in my journal, to write letters and cards and all my dreams, prayers and inspirations. I think this piece of furniture is the reason I like historical movies and books and the descriptions of the places where they write. 

It's the reason why I love...

♥ fountain pens and calligraphy pens

♥ wax seals (I have one and I'm going to start using it for some of my letters)

♥ pretty thick cream writing paper

♥ leather journals

♥ hardbound books

♥ love letters tied up with ribbon

♥ vintage post cards

♥ old black and white or sepia coloured photos

It makes me dream of the past, why I love writing letters, why I want to take a book binding class, why I want to finally use my letter press. 

Does anyone have a piece of furniture they dream of owning one day??

Have a fantastic weekend!
