Would you prefer a reading nook or an art, craft, photography studio?
Anyone who has seen my previous posts will know how much I love books so it would come as no surprise to know that I would choose a reading nook. After saying that I would have to add that it would need to be a very large ‘nook’ or I would never be able to fit all the books I already have in it, plus leaving plenty of room for more.
Despite all the doomsayers telling me that print media is on the way out, I still adore the smell of a new book, the fresh print, the crisp pages and the delightful sound of a book opening for the first time. Yes, that’s me, a book lover!

Would you prefer the TV in the living room or another room?
Ideally I would prefer to have the TV in a media room. Having said that we don’t always get exactly what we want the first time around. Working from home takes a lot of room, mainly because we both love stationery and office paraphernalia, so depending on how large a home we have – we may need to succumb to a smallish media room and as a last resort the living room.

What colour would you like your bedroom to be?
I’m repainting my bedroom in blue or shades thereof. At the moment I really like a beautiful shade of aqua I’ve seen which I can get mixed up. Failing that I can go into blues and compliment things around that. It’s such a peaceful shade (either aqua or blue).

Would you prefer a one floor house or multiple levels?
No contest here, definitely a lowset (one floor) house. Being able to sit in the living room or library (nook) and look out the window to watch the wild life is really relaxing and I’m all for anything which allows me to relax whenever I like.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I’m grateful I was told I may not have Lyme disease, although it’s a double edged sword since we’re back at square one trying to work out what is going on. Now that is frustrating!
I’m looking forward to seeing a house we’ve seen on the internet. If it ticks all the points we may be moving. New house – definitely the way to go but the physical act of moving – oh no, what a bummer!
