We're not "formal" people either so we use our front room as our media room. Who cares if you walk in the front door and are greeted by a big-screen t.v. We actually live here.

Book shelves galore with desks here and there in between. Lots of shelves. So far, we've just gotten the tall book shelves from IKEA and a matching desk. It works. It's not my favorite but it's temporary and as my mom says...... nothing is more permanent than temporary. So, the ugly book cases sit and probably will for many more years to come!<br /><br />I adore the window seat!!! You gotta do the window seat! As for what is under that desk where the legs are supposed to go.... It looks like the keyboard comes out so the person isn't actually putting their legs under there. If this is the case then it makes perfect sense to take a perfectly good space and fill it full of polka dots. It's a curtain..... that is where her dalmatian puppies live.

Hmmm.<br /><br />I want a ladder on a wall too. I want a front room makeover too. I want someone to buy the furniture in mine and it can sit empty while I gather inspiration too. I want someone else to make all the decisions on how to get a cute home office in my living room. You go first.<br /><br />~Bliss~Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477357780866991562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310127754020898097.post-156201755046520802012-03-18T18:46:38.554-06:002012-03-18T18:46:38.554-06:00ooh i love hem all! i can't wait to see what ...ooh i love hem all! i can't wait to see what you do! glad it will not be so sad and empty much longer. :)Cassie Bustamantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848936864799611251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310127754020898097.post-53105305551638877262012-03-18T18:29:40.652-06:002012-03-18T18:29:40.652-06:00Well, now that you mention it...I do have some bui...Well, now that you mention it...I do have some built-in's in my office. One end of the room is all a built in cabinet. There are 5 drawers in the middle and two glass doors on either side (shelves inside). I never really thought about them much. What I don't like is that they are rather deep. (Tough problem I suppose) But truly they just take up too much space in the room. So...what I don't like is that they are deep and, therefore, I keep the glass covered with curtains so you can't see the ugly mess inside. But, if I couldn't hide it I'd be in worse shape because they are always a mess.<br /><br />Well, thanks alot, Korrie. I hadn't even thought about it before and now - thanks to you - I realize I really ought to do something about them. (Kidding...but now you have me thinking.) <br />Anyway, I have no doubt that whatever you do...it will be over the top! Everything you touch looks great.<br />Hugs,<br />Franeleven-o-onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983619113116920258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310127754020898097.post-3869006890546545092012-03-18T18:22:52.818-06:002012-03-18T18:22:52.818-06:00Sounds like a great use of the space.

I'm wanting to convert it to a more useable office/craft room with a big work table in the middle. I'll be watching your journey.

I am currently working up plans for built ins in my living room and in the area outside of my bathroom that used to be part of the living room before the additions were put on back in the 60's. Love the library ladder. I could make one of those. Can't wait to see your plans.<br /><br />HollyFull Circle Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817022436401694119noreply@blogger.com
