ooh, yes please, i'm in!

if there's some reason you want to have your desk sticking out from the wall like that, flip the filing cabinet, so it's closest to the wall--that way the printer and all the cables don't have to be strung out. also, shifting your computer so it's close to the printer will give more visual open space, as you'll mostly see the clear, spare end of the desk, and not the huge, hulking printer/filing cabinet combo. then accessorize that now empty corner as you would any living room table. no pencil cups or stress balls--you have to visually bridge the gap from office to living space.

how exciting! however, if you're after "flow," i think the coffee table is a little floating island of "flow-block." it looks like you'd still have plenty of surfaces without it. TV by fireplace makes me a little sad too, but maybe not terrible... i don't know how much work you do from home (or how important it is for you to have your desk by the window, but maybe shimmy the living space down and bring the desk close to the hallway door--that way you get the "functional" out of the way and people walking in just see lovely arrangement by the fireplace.

preface, i love the mag of course--BUT, is it just me, or does their constant use of used mugs, wine glasses, etc. in *every* picture just make you want to tidy up? i know, it's a "lived in thing," or whatever, but i can't help but focus on the mess. perhaps that's just the compulsive in me...
