Lots of horse pictures on the walls, the top painting is by my grandmother. I'm finally organizing my wooden mail cubby a little. Now two of the slots have labels!! "Thank you's" and "Check Envelopes"
I like the sloping ceiling and how it makes it feel cozy. I don't pack stuff in on the walls like this anywhere else in the house, but I love having all these photos and artwork around me while I make mail.
two of my grandmother's paintings
a photo of my cat growing up, Cotton, who lived to be 18! And a sketch that I did of him lying on my legs about 6 years ago...
We were right inside the barn, looking out at my horse Windsong, and the mules, the same perspective as this photo, except the cat was in my lap.
A Joanna Newsom (musician) themed postcard I received from a swap I ran on swap-bot. I just loved this.
Do you hang a lot of things in your mail spot?
The chair is kind of ugly, but it's very comfortable. I've heard it's easy to reupholster things if you have a staple gun, so maybe a that's a project for the future.
The room also functions as a guest bedroom, and I try to keep the bed pretty clear of mail flotsam, because a certain someone likes to sleep there.
I'm not really liking my neighborhood much these days and in ten years I will be selling and we will be retiring to another state where my kids and grandkids live . I want to dance at my grand daughters wedding and with the Good lords help I will .
ReplyDeleteYour writing area looks so cozy! I mostly write at my computer desk since my other desk is usually covered in mail art supplies, hehe.
