THIRD BEDROOM NEW HOUSE TEASER

 OK, last week was the guest room, this week it's the 3rd bedroom which, while it is designed as a bedroom on the floor plan, will be our study.

So, here is the study.

It measures 15.3' x 13.5'

9 foot ceiling.

4 recessed lights and a ceiling fan in the middle.

Wall mount ready for a TV/monitor.

It is in the hallway by the guest bedroom and across from the second bathroom.  Since it's the bigger of the two, we chose it to be a study for two reasons.  One, well, we have always wanted a study because...

...we have books!

Lots of books, ha.  We will use these bookcases initially (we have four total, these three are already at the farm and one more is at the apartment, also full of books). We might change to something else though.  Floor to ceiling shelving would awesome with a small ladder to get books high up (well, 9 feet high up, ha).

We'd like to have been able to do some built-in shelving but when you do that, it makes the room kind of permanently that way (what if we changed our mind and wanted to swap the guest room for this one?).  It is also a lot of expense (like kitchen cabinet expense since they are custom-made to fit).  Standalone bookcases it is, ha.  But again, we might find something different that fits better, it's kind of hard to judge all of this on paper at this point, so we figured that once the room is drywalled, we'll be able to do some planning by measuring and then shopping.

Would all these books make it a library? 😂

The other reason we need a study is because 2nd Man works from home 100% of the time.  He's been using the bedroom at the apartment, and he'd rather have a dedicated space for that as his home office.  We'll have to figure out how to fit a new desk in here and make it work.  For me, I REALLY would like two chairs with a table in between right under the windows.

I've always envisioned something like this.  Just a comfortable place to sit and read, away from the living room or bedroom with lots of light.  If we can have a couple of walls of bookcases, get 2nd Man's desk in there and save space for this, it will be wonderful.

Also, since the house will be very tech forward, we opted to have all cables, wifi wiring, etc run into this bedroom instead of the attic where it is normally put.  To make them easy to access, they will be run into the closet in this room so we have these builtins and we'll still have space for storage of course.  It can also be just the spot for cables and lines to "neatly" terminate and have the wifi router, backup battery for the internet, and other computer paraphernalia, ha.

Like the guest room last week, we are doing something different in here with paint color.  Oops, did that picture give away something?  We'll see!  More on that in a post on all the interior colors we chose!

Next time, the living room.  We're only two or three room tours away from the kitchen and pantry (and THAT'S going to take a couple of posts).
