Can this writing nook be better?

14 years ago
For me this is least satisfying spot in an otherwise stellar clubhouse. There are a couple of things that are throwing me off: I feel like the plastic sleeves over the papers (house rules?) are jarring--what about a wall-hung clipboard instead?
Also, there's a lot going on on the wall above and to the left of the desk: big clock, outlets, paper--to me it detracts from my enjoyment of the fir desk and the typewriter. What would happen if you put a small cabinet there? Open at the back so you can reach the switches, but with a door so the visual clutter is screened from view?
Also that chair makes me feel sad.
Everything else in this space is so fantastic that I want this initial spot to feel just as good.

    Hi Shannon, Thanks for your comments. The benefit of this particular chair is it can fold up and store away. Everything in the space is about efficiency, not really about lingering for too long. The desk and chair and typewriter are really a cute detail for guests to sit a minute and write up a review of the place for the guestbook/folder. The plastic covers are functional because well papers get smooshed and stained with coffee. A cabinet might work but might also project out too far into the space. Come visit and stay and experience it and type up your review with more ideas:)
