The study room

Am grinding and squeezing my grey matter over the past whole week trying to to figure out how to decorate my study room. (So now you know that my 2nd favourite room after the bathroom is the study room).

It wasnt a big room to start off with, hence am mighty careful in trying to get the combination of right furniture in order to make it functional yet without choking up all the spaces. Well, the study room serves 3 functions:

1. To accommodate my tons of books and Peter's tons of books, which makes MANY tons of books. Hence a big bookshelf is a must.

2. A nice sofa bed where i can continue to spoil my eye sight by lying down and read my books leisurely. The sofa should also serve as a bed in case my girls decides to stay over for a pajamas party.

3. A good computer table set to accommodate Peter's computer and it should be mighty comfortable that even after he spends hours playing with his darling MMORPG (not me), he wont develop any backache and will still be sober enough to spend time with his darling (that's me)



My thought was having a bookshelf with an attached desk initially in order to maximise the space. And i love the design on the right as the bookshelf blends literally into the wall. However, after surveying through quite a few furniture shops, i have no choice but to abandon the idea. The standard bookshelf-table set which was offered by the shops was too much of office feel to my liking. Custom made is not an option unless you are willing to burn a hole right through your pocket. In the end, i'm placing an order for a simple 5 rows X 3 columns bookshelf without the attached desk.

On the bright side, the sofa bed was finally delivered last Saturday, and it looks exactly what i want. It was sturdy and comfortable and the brown color match well with the Picasso walnut laminated floor.

No picture still, cuz i want to present the entire study room as a whole when the room is finally complete. Finger cross that i'll get it done fast to reveal the final look!
