The Dream Library

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

Listen — I am quite a simple person: all I want is a library just like the one Belle has from the Beauty and the Beast.

Is that too much to ask?

Ok… imagine: floor to ceiling windows with heavy curtains surrounded by at least a thousand books. A carpeted wall-to-wall flooring that warmed the oak wood floors underneath your feet. Chesterfield couches filling up the space – that means about 2 or 3 that are distributed around the place, doesn’t even matter where as long as it close to a bookshelf – and, of course, a coffee side table.

OR

A daybed situation at the bottom of all the windows and some cozy 2-seater couches and armchairs. This one will have a more modern and antique fusion.

I want it to look like your grandfather left you the mansion and then you are at liberty do with it what you will and you did. As if a Gen-Z shook hands with an Oil Magnet boomer and created the library. The other one is more: Your grandpa left the mansion to you and you made the mancave into something that Jane Austen would like.

We could make it a little bit more fancy with a secret entrance.

AND a wall of stationery. I need a place to place all my notebooks, stickers, washi tapes, and stamps.

BUT long story short: as long as there would be books, I really couldn’t ask for much. Probably a table to write on and them I am good to go.
