While most of us spend time tapping keyboards, there is still something very pensive and even romantic about a writing desk. The opinions and sentiments expressed when putting pen to paper flow differently than those from a keyboard. Do you have a writing desk?
In the photograph above, I love the contrast of contemporary pink stripes and Lucite chair juxtaposed with the traditional carved and gilded wooden desk. I wonder if I would actually combine these elements in a room. Aren't those windows stunning?
Below is a photograph of desk that appears to be placed in a bedroom. This one is quite traditional and several treasures, including photographs, are carefully placed on the surface to be admired. I love the color combination of gold and white in this room.

Below is a photograph of a black desk with gold trim that is placed in a room that has a neutral palette. Very elegant.

My favorite of all is placed in sitting room that is decorated in cream, powder blue, and a few different wood tones. I bet that's a fireplace beyond the desk right under the mirror. I love everything about this room!

Sometimes I tell myself I'm going to spend more time putting pen to paper. Thoughts flow differently through ink. And the result is a tangible souvenir of moments spent sharing those thoughts with another.
Be sure to visit Julia's Hooked on Fridays, Fifi's Fashionable Fridays, and Melissa's A Beautiful Life.
I like the first picture, but pinks aren't me. However I would love a desk like the last picture near a window of a nice view of a park or a wooded area. Now that's romantic for me :) I love writing as well there's a nice feel to it, especially if you're going real vintage and decide to use the quill pen with ink. Lovely post you have here thanks for sharing!

I use my beautiful writing desk everyday! Smooth, dark mahogany- curved harp-shaped legs...just my favorite piece in the house. These are great photos!

I love how open and airy these offices are. I wonder if you'd get any work done in them? ;)

Oh My Gosh, I love them all! Esp. the fist one because my fave color is pink )
I need to change my writing desk to a more cuter one, and maybe will get a pink chair, lol.
