I saw an antique spice cabinet on Roadshow once. It was for an old mercantile. It had lots of little boxlike drawers to keep spices in. They remarked how the drawers had the scents permanently stored in the wood. I thought that seemed incredibly warm and inviting. I’d like to be that cabinet.
A desk on which the owner would have hundreds of things and preferably in a mess but with a method in his madness. I would have files, papers, desk accessories and other paraphernalia strewn all over my surface.
I think that I would be a toy chest protecting all of the stuffed toys and figures still waiting to be cuddled and performed by their benevolent friend.
