Library Lust

April 20, 2013 by Claire (The Captive Reader)

A bit messy for me but I do love the light in this room. Still hate bookshelves in the bedroom, though.

I hate TVs in bedrooms, myself – so that one would have to go. I do like the reclining chair – or is it a chaise? I can’t quite figure out how the room is configured though – is the TV next to a door? It looks like there are bookshelves beyond that, but how does that fit with the window?

I quite like this room, it’s large and light. But I’m not keen on bookshelves in the bedroom simply because the books would get very dusty. Lisa, I think that is a large mirror behind the TV so you can see the books reflected in it (or I could be wrong of course!) I don’t mind a TV in the bedroom – it can be cosy to watch an old film curled up in bed.

It’s a huge bedroom! That’s luxurious in itself. The bookshelves look pretty, but the dust jackets will definitely get faded in that direct sunlight.

I like it – the window seats always get me – esp. with the “half-curtains.”

It looks like twin beds — I wonder if it’s a guest room. I like the drop-leaf table holding the TV, and the plants, though I personally have a black thumb.

I like it, even if it is a bit fussy. I would never be able to sleep with all there is to do, though.

Quite nice, but that chair looks impossible to get out of! Like Lisa, I don’t like the idea of a TV in a bedroom. I’d cope with it, but… why clutter space up with a TV when there could be more bookshelves?

Yes to the chaise!!!

I like it – it looks comfortable and inviting. I have a bookshelf in my bedroom! I like being close to my favorites while I’m sleeping 🙂

How do you know it is a bedroom? It could be a library with a comfortable “reading bed.” Why not? I do most of my reading lying on a bed.

I dislike the furniture but love the windows! It would be interesting to have a chandelier in a bedroom.

I covet that reading chair, not so much the room.

It is a lovely room, but there would be too much distraction for me to sleep.

Not messy enough for me! I could read, sleep, live and work in that room.
