    You know - I love books so much... I think they are great (ok, almost all of them). A house with books looks like home!

    The thread of magical scale runs thru each study. YES. Love them all.

    So, where do I get that 'magic scale'?

    3 & 5 are my favourites, Leigh. I am very lucky to have a study, although, I often end up with my laptop on my lap in the lounge, watching tele and doing my blog !! ....That wasn't the point really, but never mind. I love the ones that you have shown. XXXX

    Oh Leigh, they are divine. I love the first one and love the concept of a desk area and a lounge area to sit and contemplate. An elegant study was high on my house scheming list, as hubby and I both work from home. It was the first room I started planning before our build. Despite the fact that our study is really 'Grand Central Husband', I have tried to add a touch of elegance and he secretly loves it. I reckon hubby is so much more in touch with his feminine side now that he has fancy wallpaper and curvacious furniture! He has as many meetings in his study that he can organise..... so elegance is not just for the girls! We are currently sitting in our lovely study with the French Doors flung open, to cope with the heat... so your post was perfectly appropriate for us today! A-M xx

    * Loved seeing A-M's COMMENT just now as I scrolled down to write a note... Am almost done w/ a MBR "redo", & I've gotten it into my head that I NOW want to redo the study next... (Keeps me "out of trouble", "more or less"- And hey! There ARE addictions worse than decorating, right?!?!)... Maybe my husband will join ME in here more, too~~ then, of course, the TV in here is NOT uber king-sized liked "his", sooooo, maybe not!).

    ANyhoooo, I ADORED the first one... think that will be my second inspiration photo for my files!!! It looks PERFECT for MY needs/wants~~~ in fact, it's pretty darn near close to perfect!!!

    GREAT POSTING, Leigh!!!! Thanks so much!!!

    Warmest,

    P.S. I just went back to #1 to copy~~~ Noticed that I'd only HAVE to make two lil' changes to make US "totally comfy & hapy"... The pic over the FP would HAVE to have animals (preferably hunting dogs), and the two busts over the bookcases would have to go (probably in favor of some animal bonzes maybe)... That's how MUCH I like that space & feel so comfy in it all!!! THANKS AGAIN! Linda ***

    I love the first two studies! They are so cozy and would be great to curl up with a book in~
