The Writer's Attic

 

 

 

It's just a space.

Small and hidden above a book store.

It was modeled after the bohemian Paris garrets so favored by the greatest (and often hungriest) of the late 19th century writers and artists. A room completely analog.

It has a sturdy writer's secretary desk. A chaise lounge, soft carpet, pillows. 

 

 

 

 

 

The 115 year old wood beams are exposed, and the green is the color you used to have to add arsenic to get. 

What is it for?

It's for you.

Rest, study, read, work, or of course...write. 

You'd be surprised how your work in progress begins to move forward when you put yourself in valuable isolation. 

A room of your own.
