Now that Fernando and I have decided to buy a house in about 5 years--let the dreaming begin! I figure this is one of those things that it's okay to sit around and plan and fantasize about, since the fantasies are what have to provide the incentive to save money. I'm putting myself back on the Library Plan where acquiring music in concerned. As for books, well if I read 1 book/week I have enough books to last me 17 years (not including the non-fiction.) Movies: We don't spend much money on. Food: I don't go out to eat very often--I'll just have to watch myself when I do.
Music will definitely be the trickiest. Next weekend I'll have to pull out the old budget and get serious about this.
In the meantime... dream! Right now I'm dreaming about my future writing office. I'll probably pick the smallest room as my bedroom, and then take the master bedroom and stuff it full of books and nice desk and cat beds.
...On the other hand, no point dreaming about a writing office if I'm not WRITING. So back to my book.

OMG, I am apoplectic with desire for those library/writing rooms.
I like the 2nd one the best. I WAAAAAAAAANNNTS it!
I know!! The second is beautiful, but I also find some cozy-old-fashionee about the third one. I'm trying to figure out some of the key things needed...
- an old fashioned looking wall colour or wallpaper
- a nice old desk
- floor to ceiling bookcases (built in, though I think Ikea now sells mini cases that you can attach to the top of Billy cases to make them reach the ceiling)
- good curtains
- some interesting lamps
And a stream-powered laptop computer!
Ya I also worry that they all get carpal tunnel, writing with laptops on high surfaces. I'd need a tray attached under the desk. A steam powered tray!
