For years I've admired Gustavian furniture especially bureau bookcases like this one from Blanchard Collective.com
and years ago I bought one for a song at auction. I painted and distressed it and it lived for a while in my bedroom and then the living room but was always just a decorative piece that I used to show off other items.
Last Sunday I watched the final episode of Gentleman Jack
I managed to squeeze a little writing corner between a picture window and a skylight so the daylight is perfect. My laptop fits on it neatly, I moved the chair (another of my creations) from the hall because I'm working on another item for that spot (more on that later) and it still houses many of my lovely old books.
The object behind the chair is our log box on wheels which is next to the fireplace so this will be a cosy corner in the winter too.
There's a link to it here if you'd like to see more:

as you can see it's only a little corner squeezed alongside one of the sofas but it really works for me and it only took an embarrassing number of years and a prompt from the fabulous Miss Lister to get right 😳! But, you know what? It doesn't matter, everything is constantly in a state of flux and I love it! Change is good, I get inspiration from everywhere and it's all about the process not the product - right?
