To
describe my desk space as 'desk space' is a bad idea. This is only
because the two words plunge me into a sort of grumpiness: they are
dry and unappealing, utterly unsuitable as a name for any place of
daydreaming and creative writing (among other things). The 'sk' on
the end of 'desk' sounds like 'tsk, tsk', an unintentional reprimand
that makes me feel as if I shouldn't be there despite knowing that I
have to be there, ending in a horrible, internal confusion that
should never have existed in the first place. To avoid this chaotic
train of thought and complete derailment of sanity, I simply change
the name. Instead of 'my desk space', I say 'my haunt', or 'my
corner' or 'my element'. That way, if I refer to my desk space as any
of these things, I don't just feel like I should be there; I feel as
if I am part of it.
And
I make it beautiful; then I am in a beautiful place with a beautiful
name, and this is near-perfection.

Love it, so gorgeous!
Ginny, why do you have such a beautiful 'corner'?! Everytime I see it, it's always even more beautiful...your style is perfection.
I love the letters in the bird cage. I think I recognised my hand writing on one of them... :)
Ooh, so pretty! ^_^ Making a pretty little nook for all my pretty/write-y things is one of my favorite things to do. :)
Oh, so beautiful, swept my breath away!
