Out with the Old and in with the New

In case you haven't noticed, I love antiques and my hobby embraces furniture as well as old cars. I love antique Office Furniture because of the special woods and styles of an era past. As a writer, I admire the classic poets and novelists. Most of them had exquisite studies and dens where they spent their time reading or writing one literary masterpiece or another.

When I look at antiques a feeling of nostalgia embraces me with the longing to recreate the same ambiance. There comes a time when it's good to put out the old and make room for the new. That's what I'm planning to do with my traveling office. You might be wondering what all this has to do with an antique car blog. So I'll explain my reason for writing about Home Office Furniture and show the connection with antique cars.

As you might be aware, my husband and I are traveling partners in our peace ministry and I'm a freelance writer. We spend much of our time in our antique 1973 Dodge Tradesman 300 Camper Van which doubles as our office on the road. Various sections of the van are filled with Office Supplies and other tools of our trade like computers and digital cameras. Lately, we have felt a great need to redecorate the van in hopes of utilizing the space in a more efficient manner. Our idea is to reconstruct the inside of the van to open up the living space without compromising the sleeping area. We want to add a mini office in the back where we currently hold storage so we're shopping for some new mini office furniture and stackable supply organizers. I can't wait to create the new space and share it right here with you.

We found an antique car and machine paradise in Blanding, Utah and Cephas just could not resist taking photos of all of them. Altogether, we have about 100 or more photos. Now the question arose about where to showcase these antiques. Some of them have not moved in a generation and this blog's main page is dedicated to machines still running and road worthy. You are witnessing the birth of Antique Heaven. Watch for updates about new entries into our showcase.
