Even a small place in a house (if there isn't any separate room for a study) may be converted in a fabolous and inspiring area I believe. For the time being this is my pain in the neck - no desk, no worktop, not even chairs (they are to be delivered next week).
But... As the renovation is not going so smoothly as I was hoping, there's at least some time to get basic things done. And I'm now so excited about how I'm going to arrange my future workspace.
