and this is another room - it's actually 1/3 study and 2/3 lounge (but the lounge and 2 armchairs fall infront of the desk, and are invisible here); the room's too big for my little camera. what i really want to show you is the floor - these floor boards are from local wood and are beautiful; will try and take something that is a bit more revealing (oh and this was taken when i first moved in; it is a lot neater and homey and complete-looking now; trust me; and i even mopped the floor today; it's really looking good)
