Thank you for these....normal sized rooms, dual function. While searching for inspiration I have been tripped up by images of either huge spaces with plenty of room for guest & office space or else very tiny spaces with fold up desks and beds in closets.
This is a very timely and relevant round up for me. thank you!

I just looked at the Houzz article.... the before and afters are astonishing! wow, just wow! This will be very good marketing tool for your firm!

House tour!!!

Lighting advice: when only replacing one or two fixtures, how to ensure they won't clash with the ones left behind, or worse, make the old ones look super outdated?

And how to make sure you're not buying something trendy that will date itself very soon? We have a track light in the kitchen that is space age-y, metal and halogen and looks very year 2000.

Thanks!

I am very very behind.... lost momentum around half way through and haven't gotten it back. I just went through my books this past weekend. So I'm planning to start where I left off this weekend and see how far I can get. I've come to the realization that most weeknights are just not doable for me. That being said, I have no plans tonight, so perhaps I'll tackle the cord challenge? perhaps.

Huge props to those of you who have maintained your steam throughout the month. Well done!

Gorgeous photo.
Good luck all, have a productive weekend. I will be tackling last weekend's kitchen chores..which will take a LONG time. And this. And the book decluter. Ack. Good thing I have nothing planned.

ah, thanks for the reminder that at my work we started a collective book share. I will bring most of my purged fiction in and share the love. I think we've all forgotten about it....started it about a year ago.

This was great and will become a more regular event in our house.
Had music on all evening, sang away to it and got so much done. Caught up on the usual chores, but also tackled the bathrooms, the dog cupboard and cleaned out my drawer of the sideboard. excellent!

oh jeez, simmer down everyone.

I think Parnassus' first comment is bang on, try some stuff and see what works. I also debated rug size for so long and drew diagrams as you have done....it was so hard to tell until we got a rug in our space. Thankfully the first one worked!

Also, try a little asymmetry...offset the rug to one side of the sectional, might bring some visual interest to the room?

orrrrrr, you might not even need a rug?

I like the last one.... I think in a subtle colour combo, it could work in an 'adult' space. I've been thinking about something like this for the big blank wall in our office. Maybe in the same light grey paint as our living room accent wall?
Have bookmarked the tutorial... thanks.
