A room of one's own.

Procrastinating again, and dreaming about FFM. she will live in a beautiful cottage somewhere in England, maybe Bath, lace curtains, old furniture, vases of flowers (daisies, poppies, lavender), fireplaces, a big kitchen so i can cook, daybeds and lots of armchairs, a wonderful room wallpapered in plum or burgundy with a typwriter and a window onto the countryside... Oh and a library. That is of the utmost importance, FFM's house will of course have a library to house all the books that she loves. 

I want a beautiful space where i can sit and read for hours and never get uncomfortable... Filled to the ceiling with all of my favourite books, little ladders that run around the walls to reach the higher shelves, some lovely artwork on the walls. All in the colour palette of plum, burgundy, white, mint green. Thoughts? Here are some beautiful libraries that have got me drooling and dreaming all at the same time... Oh, and just to clarify, these libraries are all from real houses. people actually live in houses that have these libraries. Can you believe that!?
