I have always dreamed of having a separate writing space. A place where I can stash my favorite reference books, hang my artwork, and paste sticky notes and various other scribblings all over the walls. That's why I'm so pleased with my latest idea to renovate the old wooden round granary just at the edge of the forest. It will take quite a lot of work, and believe me, there are more pressing things I should be doing, but that dream isn't going away.
This is what I'm working with; rotten plywood, left over moggy grain, spiders with dibs, and a shortage of time and money. I'm already started on a building project as well (a playhouse/sandbox) for my son. Then there's the whole thought that I might get this dream shack built only to be usurped by squirrels, raccoons, or more likely - my son.
I want this building to be a work of art as well as functional. An ornate, yet functional weather-vane, glowing galaxy of stars on the ceiling and a skylight to energize them, shelves for my books, a stone floor (to keep the rodents at bay), and a very steampunk theme. (Gee, where ever am I going to find scrap metal parts... "Oh dad....."
The closest I'll probably get to this project is a photoshop rendered design.
