I am currently re-doing the study and want to match a splash of strong colour with a modernist theme. I have chosen apple green for the walls with white trim, door and blinds. I am also gathering - hence the links - all white furniture. The desk will be from the reasonably priced stalwart and amazing industrial engineering icon, Ikea. The Vika.

The chair is a more difficult issue. In Virginia I had a geek chair with netted back, adjustable everything, etc. But now I use the Macbook in ergonomically impossible places like the bed, kitchen bench and sofa. So the chair in the study doesn't need to be as hardcore as the desk will only occasionally be used for 'work from home' style things. Consequently I am going to get this cool metal chair from vessel.

I have to do an installation that will be built from a white box with my Marshall amp embedded in, and I have a white Fender Stratocaster copy, and a (soon to be white) bass guitar that will be hung on the walls. I will also buy some canvases and make them up in a mix of grey background with splashes of orange outlines as art for the larger wall. But this leaves some more floor space which needs something on them, but nothing big, which runs the risk of shrinking the room unnecessarily. The answer is molo design's felt rocks;

I will post pictures when it is finished.

Note: Have to install these electrical plugs in the study too.

Note II: And get this clock for the room. Or alternatively, this wall clock.

Note III: Need to get a Stendig Calendar for the room.

Note IV: Also a memory stone to replace post it notes.

Note V: A U-shaped USB desk lamp

Note VI: Retro Wall Slats.

Note VII: White concrete planters.

    My recent experiences with Ikea have left me seriously wondering whether the cost reduction resulting from the lack of assembly is worthwhile or not. It's like Lego, with occasionally misleading instructions and a real risk that you will end up doing damage to your product!
