Neither of Us Work From Home, But....

Cam and I have decided to turn that front formal living room into a home office/mini-library. We looked this weekend at furniture and found the general style that we like. Cam wants a triple bookcase on the wall behind the desk, and I found a desk style that I like.

I love this rounded desk with the book shelves.
I love this look for the corner. because our space is smaller, we would probably put two chairs with a table in addition to all the bookcases. I would want a library ladder for the look as well.

I love this deep-colored library with the rolling ladder, but I would only want the corner of bookcases.

I love the look the ladder creates here...
Cam is thinking a triple bookcase behind the desk, but all the pieces would be the same dark wood--a cherry or mahogany.

I am thinking we will probably have to have it all custom built, so we may check out the local amish furniture makers to see to estimate a price (ugh, reality sets in, paying for it all).

I would be so excited to finally start finishing the first floor. I think we have decided it is more important to finish the first floor than to finish our bedroom right now, and I don't like the front room of our house at all so that is the first to finish.
