Love the round coffee/accent table in the living room. Is that from zgallerie?

I wanted to like this room sooo much, from the theme to the dark/moody/intimate setting. What totally killed it for me was the faux bookshelves. In a writer's room, it just doesn't fly. Although not ideal, I can deal with the clutter as I have a ton of books I'm forced to fit wherever I can so I understand that aspect of it. I don't mind that the art was hung low, but the scale is way off.

The wallpaper is hideous IMO and that rug is pretty creepy.

What I think was done well was setting the scene for the intimate late night dining (after what seems like a date elsewhere). And I love the late 19th/early 20th century vibe. What it reminds me of are those 80s/90s Sherlock Holmes tv shows/movies with Jeremy Brett.

This room just barely squeaked by AT's entry as my top choice. I have to agree with many of the posters, that the room isn't kid friendly (be they 2 year olds or teenagers); the bookcase on the left is overly stuffed and adds an unnecessary weight to that side of the room. The antiques themselves don't bother me, but the modern woman would definitely have them displayed differently throughout the room and not hoarded as they are, just waiting for the little kids to climb or the teenagers to bump into while wrestling.

The wallpaper is not appealing IMO.

All of the rooms seemed to emphasize the "traveling nature" of their inhabitants and I think this room emphasizes this the best.

As usual, the best laptop cases are for MacBooks. :/
