Designing A Storage/display/repair Corner

February 12, 2015

Greetings. I am renovating my home and am considering using an available alcove (3 feet wide and 2.5 feet deep) to build a combination storage, display and restoration workbench unit for my vintage fountain pen collection. Some combination of display shelves (for the good stuff), cabinets and drawers (for most of the rest) and a flat surface on which to repair, restore, or just mess around with my pens. Looking for inspiration in the form of photos, design drawings or descriptions of other vertically-oriented home pen storage/display/repair units. If you have anything like that in your home (or if you've ever dreamed of building one), I'd love to see or hear about it. Thanks.

I have my skull cave (long time phantom fan) below the stairs. A desk with a case for current pens, another box for my tools - pliers, Arkansas stone, polishing papers and yet another box for my inks...
