As close to perfect as I think you can get. I might swap out the curtains but that would be the only change.

I agree, this is pretty close to perfect. I love the low bookshelves with room for objets on the top (we have a row of shelves like this cross our dining room, so that there is space for things on top. And this allows space for pictures, too. Books, paintings, ornaments, comfy chairs, a rug underfoot, good light, what’s not to like?

Oh this is excellent. I can’t understand why my room full of books looks all higgledy-piggledy and this looks perfect. Hmmm. Paint the shelves white. Put a nice rug on the floor. Clear out the junk….

Love the red and white chair, but yes, the curtains would have to go. This is a keeper! 🙂
