I’m taking it easy today. We got a lot done last night, thanks to the help of Casey and Kyle. Our gray wall is done, except for a few touch ups here and there. Tonight we’ll be tackling white again and moving things from the living room into the back rooms.
In the mean time, I’m messing around with floor plans and the furniture layout for my “study” on Visio. In previous years our back room was taken over by Luke (aka El Seis, Fatburger, Fatty McFat, Lukester, Lukey, or Leucos Anthony). Secondarily, it was also my craft room and office. Now that I’m going back to school, I’m going to call the room my “study”. Get it, I’m going to be studying back there. In theory anyway.
I bought a huge loveseat on Craigslist yesterday. And I’m planning on replacing the old built-in desk with something longer and skinnier from Ikea. The other two items in the room are the cabinets that distracted me from the real painting the other day. They are now painted gray and look pretty good.
Here are the some of the billions of layouts I’m considering. I like the top right one because it puts the desk over the baseboard heater, and I like to put my feet on that in the winter.
I like both of the rooms on the right, b/c i remember the baseboard is under the window and I wouldn’t want the couch pushed out from the wall in front of that. Plus, as you said, feet + baseboard = WIN.
Have you ever thought of placing the desk away from the wall and sitting behind it with your back to the wall? I really like mine that way. But it may be a little cramped for your room. I like the couch against the left (back) wall like the layouts on the bottom right.
i agree w/Casey about the couch against the heater. but really, you wont genuinely know until you’ve been at the desk for a bit
personally i vote for the 4th one
wanna help me repaint my bedroom? yes?kthxbai
