QotD: My Dream Room
In your ultimate dream house, what does your favorite room look like?
I could answer this question any number of ways, I could go for the kitchen all hi-tech and shiny or the lounge with comfy couches and a kick ass TV, but I think that I would have to go with the study.
This would be a big room, with a desk at one end of the room and floor to ceiling windows, with french doors in the middle leading out onto the garden, at the other end of the room. The desk would be a cherry wood colour with a large leather chair behind it. On all the walls there are floor to ceiling bookcases almost all full of books with a section dedicated to first editions and a pile of old leather bound old classics just to add some class to the room.
The room has to be north facing (this is the southern hemisphere, geographically dsadvataged readers can reverse that) so that it get sun all day in winter and morning and evening sun in summer. It also needs to be long enough that the sun doesn't touch the desk at any time of the year.
At the sunny end of the room there needs to be a massive armchair, the most comfortable ever constructed, which can be used for reading on, and for taking a nap whenever the desire occurs. Basically this is a room where serious work can be done in comfort, and where naps can be taken with no chance of interuption.
