A recent thrift score was this box of unused Ko-Rec-Type, typewriter printing error correction paper. The concept behind this material was to back space over to your mistype, insert this white paper into the typewriter, retype the mistyped characters, thereby “deleting” the original letters as the Ko-Rec-Type has white film that would cover your mistake.
Each sheet has little perforated segments of correction paper that can be used or removed as needed and each sheet is wrapped in a glossy sleeve with the same rad graphics on it that appear on the cover of the box. On the back of the wrap are the instructions for use. Crazy!
A desk with a cat is always well-appointed.

There is a wonderful visual Tumblr blog called We Love Stationery which is filled with all kinds of paper, pencil and office sundry goodness. If you just don’t get your fill here, pop over there and enjoy all the inspiration and images.
For access to the specific posts referenced in the image above, here are the links in order, left to right, top to bottom: Poketo Ideas notebook, Pilot mechanical pencils, erasers and wrinkled paper, pink Royal typewriter, rubber stamps: neatly organized, Pelikan eraser, L&C Hardmuth pencils, string and button envelope
Because Giovanni Pintori was a designer to be reckoned with and Olivetti was the typewriter manufacturer to be reckoned with, I give you the Olietti Graphika poster designed by Pintori from Boom Undergrounds copious archives.

I know I’m supposed to be admiring the ironic log wallpaper but I cannot get past the gorgeous mid-century blonde wood desk and turquoise typewriter. The tea set is also fantastic as is the owl vase. Dream desk for writing letters… for me, anyway.
