I trust my friends will understand

I went to look at condos this weekend with a friend, and upon seeing the giant walk-in closet in the master bedroom, my first thought was "If this was my place, all my clothes would fit in the guest closet, and then I could use this room for a library."

Heheheh. I TOTALLY understand that!

By chance, was this condo in NH? Please say yes!

*laughs* Why, yes, I've thought things like that too. :)

Now, if only I could find a place with such accommodations! :)

Giggle. (Though I would probably be measuring for skirt space.)

Understood completely. Looking at the floorplans of the loft apartment, my immediate thought was "office" just wouldn't do, but could be converted to a lovely "reading nook" with three walls of bookshelves, and then the overflow in the main living room, allowing the loft bedroom to be a full office, with the white bookshelves from your writing room.

And, admittedly, for the three-bedroom one, I did think you couldn't possibly need that many bedrooms, so why not convert the master into a combination home office / library with some folding screens (or using the bookshelves as walls, the way Josh does).

*sighs happily*

if only

I did have a 3 bdr but ended up using the smallest room as a big storage closet :( so much for my plans to make it a reading room.

You can never have too much book space. :-)
