Oh this is a fun one.

If I could have it all in one room…

I’ve always wanted one of those canopy beds, with curtains, I like to write in bed a lot and I think the privacy would help me stay focused. People coming in tends to distract me.’

Then I’d have a room big enough so I could have a comfy arm chair in the corner, with a lap desk by it, or else a desk attached to it at an angle, either or, so I could prop my laptop or notebook on it.

I’d have a big window with a view of nature, ocean, woods, or something like that, by the armchair.

And a side table for my coffee, tea, and snacks that was the right size to fit and not get knocked over easily.

The color scheme would be blue, or maybe warm gold colors, because I find that the most inspiring. Or both accents.

And I’d have a place to play music from and to charge my devices.

And blankets and pillows.

Also room for my cat.

A door with a lock on it might be nice too.

And good thick walls so it would be quiet.

I’d also have Thomas Kinkade or other nature artists painting on the walls. And maybe some photographs.

Oh and bookshelves, plural yes, for my books.

But hey, this is all if you had the perfect ideal space. I can still make do with what I have now. Still we can dream.

(I wonder if I’d actually like it if I had it or if I’d end up sitting in the living room anyway because I’d miss the bustle or the company of the household. Maybe I’d get used to the solitude and then become picky about it. Sometimes I think it’s better to know you have to adapt, so you don’t get too hung up on small changes. Food for thought.)

What about you?
