[favourite room] what would yours look like


Richard Hannay, in the 1915 thriller, The Thirty-nine Steps, briefly escapes his pursuers and finds himself ensconced in the country home of Sir Walter Bullivant, Permanent Secretary at the Foreign Office:

We went to his study for coffee, a jolly room full of books and trophies and untidiness and comfort. I made up my mind that if ever I got rid of this business and had a house of my own I would create just such a room. [John Buchan, Chapter 7, The Dry-fly Fisherman]

Therein lies the theme of this post. What would be your ideal room? My new header for the remainder of the summer is Bilbo Baggin's room at Bag End and the circular windows and doors are quite appealing to me, together with the woody colour scheme I've tried to run through the template.

Let's make this interesting, shall we? Let me challenge you to post a picture, on your own site, of a room which would come close to being very, very liveable for you.

Would you do that and then please provide the link?
