A Bouquet Of Red, Pink And White Peonies 🎨 Pierre Joseph Redoute

[eggbunni]

My Dark Academia desk setup is finally complete! I spent about a day picking and choosing items for the desk decor (while still keeping it functional, of course), then proceeded to deck out the wall with dried flowers, stamped vellum, torn pages of poetry and music or botany encyclopedic entries, as well as prints from some of my favorite artists I’ve acquired over the years.

Left: Grabbed a bunch of my modern but aged brass stationery tools to add the color accents I want to complete the aesthetic.

Right: Scanned photos from my various art books of Leonardo Da Vinci’s anatomy drawings, as well as a rose painting from Pierre Joseph Redoute.

I have tons of vellum scraps I’ve saved for who even knows what, which came in handy when deciding to stamp it with botany decor to add some layered interest to my wall collage.

Desk mess. The first layer of decor on my wall was pretty much set up at this point, but I still needed to figure out how to add more interest to the area.

Complete. Candles arranged, real dried flowers (taken from saved bouquets gifted from my husband I once hung to dry but never decorated with), and a place for everything.

More photos:

Bottom left, you can see my antique dip pens and Victorian era pencils + nib holders added to the black plate. There’s also a wax seal furnace on the bottom right of the image — for those letter writing moments I’m eager to dive into.

Overall, I’m really pleased with how everything looks and am so excited to work from here! I’ve always wanted a moodier corner with a Dark Academia theme in my office, especially as my main work area is very baroque/rococo themed and quite bougie/feminine in contrast. I needed an area where I could photograph my darker stationery, more masculine pens, and rich leathers.

What do you think? How did I do?

Hiiiii I'm working on a wall collage with Pierre-Joseph Redoute paintings and my roommate and I are discussing what we prefer what layout are we feeling
