In general, I don't see the problem of the two workspaces side-by-side. I do see a problem with the actual "living" area in your proposed floor plan. It just appears to be a couch facing a tv and n...
I've been to MAC a thousand times, but I don't understand what you mean about using an in-store display behind your couch. Do you have a picture/link you can post?
I love the ideas of a giant canvas or framed wallpaper --very cool and no screws! I also like the box/mantle idea by degaussing. Of course I also dream of Marimekko fabric so that sounds fabulous, ...

Your rug looks cool. Is that a lime or spring green colored detail? L...
My bf had never been to Ikea and I had a short list of specific things I was looking for at the store. So, I convinced him that we needed to leave at 8 am to get to the store when they opened at 9 ...
