So that is it. I have finally settled into a study of my own in our now house. It has taken almost six weeks to decide which room I would use, and it was a difficult decision indeed.
Up on the third floor under the roof, it has different nooks and angles:
The coffee corner with compact fridge and coffee maker. Now I will not need to run down three flights of stairs to get that second cup of coffee - especially when I am in the middle of blogging, for example!
Plants accompany me even to the third floor ...
IKEA chair - one area of IKEA bookshelves ... (all put together by self) ...
Another set of bookshelves ... bowl of water for Ada ...
And, last, but not least - the computer station complete with Ada's old bed, and my trusty old desk that I assembled alone sixteen years ago.
I am getting there - slowly but surely. Today, I brewed my first coffee in the new coffee pot.
One of the things I really love about my room, is that there is ample space for me to do yoga.
Sixteen years ago I read A Room of One's Own, and I think I have finally attained mine. I am allowing it to develop slowly, acquire its own vibe, find its soul, and nourish my brain as I enter into a new writing phase - a new life.
Dear Milya,
I am so looking forward to seeing *your* new *rooms* of your very own! Love and hugs and love again.

Tamar, this looks gorgeous and is a true reflection of you! I'm looking forward to having a room of *my* own soon as well. Though I have to fight off attempts by my, umm, 'housemates', to want to put their misc. stuff in it ;)

Hey Danny! No cat hair on the computer! I keep the area clean plus Ada tries to keep all her hair to herself. That's how much she loves me back!
Frank, YES! I have been using a rechargeable screwdriver and it is making my life a pleasurable dream!
Aeron - oh you! Come and stay! And bring your beautiful family!

Nice space! I love the big bay window with window seat. Guessing Ada will spend some time there.
Haver you tried a rechargeable screwdriver for assembling the Ikea stuff? It's a tool I've done without, but next time I have a big job I plan to pick one up. I'll bet it would save some aches and pains on Ikea bookcases.

Looks like absolute heaven. My only (insane) question is don't you risk getting cat fur all over your computer?
