Where Do You Keep Your Pens?

[da vinci]

I recently changed from various small (18-24 pen mini cabinets) to the one below.

Got it here: http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Martha_Stewart_Living_Craft_Space_Collectors_Base/00/280/

 

The inside wood dividers are removable. I added the felt at the bottom of each drawer and got the green pen dividers from a couple of sources.

 

At the bottom in the boxes I keep ink bottles and other items like paper and pen holders.

 

 

 

Great storage idea

 

Rather nice pen collection too!

Wow, there's great envy-inducing eye candy in this thread! I have been looking for a small cabinet or chest for my small collection. Although I'd seen numerous antique Japanese chests of drawers (originally used for sewing and stationery supplies, I think), the challenge was finding one with drawers deep enough for the somewhat tall Pilot Iroshizuku ink bottles. I finally found this 19th century Japanese "shop box" with just the right amount of character and wabi-sabi for my taste (as well as my budget ). Bonus: the drawer interiors are full of ink stains, so a kindred spirit originally used it. My blog has more:

siopaopei,

 

that's a great idea! I may have to go looking for an old jewelry box myself.

Just stick a few pen trays in it and they're good to go. ^_^

Thanks to both of you. This cabinet is proving itself perfect for the task, though I have to admit that falarcon's above looks just great as well.
