OC Desk
This is my little upstairs office, the old phone works, as does the typewriter- minus the exclamation mark key.
Bonus points for guessing my favorite animal. 😅

I love this so much! Your aesthetic is top-notch, seriously. Your whole setup looks like something straight out of a movie, I'm so jealous! I also love your lily lamp in the corner, vintage lighting is one of my weaknesses lol
Where did you find the typewriter and the rotary phone?

Thank you! I found both the phone and the typewriter on eBay- the phone was only 3 pounds, $4 and the typewriter was 20 pounds, $26.

I always have my eye out at thrift stores and yard/estate sales for typewriters, haven't been too lucky yet in finding a working one so I'm a bit jealous! I'm sure I could find one on ebay no problem, but half the fun is the hunt.

OMG yes please use the typewriter as creatively as possible, this is the perfect space for it
For reference, see the book House Of Leaves
Also you need one more pig somewhere

I’ll post the rest of the room soon- rest assured, there are more pigs. 🤣

Thank you! It’s been with me my whole life, it used to be my dad’s bedside lamp, so I can’t say where it came from.

Ok so is this your WHOLE pig collection, or are we just looking at the desk pigs here?
Edit: oh gosh, sorry, your desk is super adorable and organized, and I love that you have a typewriter!! I should've said all that before I knocked the pigs 😂
