The Office / Study / Library / Den

Whatever you want to call it, this room is one of my favourites in the house:

Painting behind desk is "Somewhere in Paris" by Lewis Lavoie

Chair from Bombay Company

This room was the last room in our house to be furnished, and I think it has turned out to be one of the best. The high ceilings are a bit daunting and at first, all I could focus on was how the ceilings made the furniture we had at our old house miniscule, but with the addition of the custom made bookshelf, the shutters on the windows and the carpet, it has added a special atmosphere to the room.

The chair in the corner is one of my absolute favourite pieces of furniture. Not only is it comfortable and cute, it just seems to fit in the room perfectly. You can often find me, when I have nothing else to do on a lazy afternoon, sitting in that chair flipping through a book.

The painting sitting on the wall opposite the door is an original Lewis Lavoie, "Somewhere in Paris". My parents bought the painting at an art auction in St. Albert, Alberta, and it was painted live. Supposedly Lavoie included my parents in it, but I have yet to find them. It is my absolute favourite painting.

To be honest, I don't spend a good portion of time in here. Usually, I'm either in my living room, my media room or my bedroom with my laptop, but as my laptop is in a repair shop currently, I have spent a large portion of my weekend in here.

Calgary Update: The tentative date is set for the second week of July, but it most likely will change.
