I have this reoccurring fantasy about my picture perfect office.  What would it have in it?  How would I set it up?

Let us start by saying that my ideal office would be more like a desk, good chair, and ton-o-books surrounding me.  See: Library, but with better, more private, accomodations and accessories.  The Man often teases me that he should be looking to buy a de-commissioned library for our next residence.  I don't disagree.

Back to the office: 
I always picture the room in the old world dark paneling and shelving, an oriental rug on the floor in dark shades of blue, green, red, gold, and browns, perhaps a sprinkling of white.  A sitting area with comfortable dark leather (not black) furniture--perhaps 2 chairs and a love seat set for conversation facilitation?--with tables and lamps that don't produce more than 60-75 watts each.  Desk would also be a darker wood, with drawers on either side.  Desk chair would be VERY comfortable, because, after all, I will be sitting in it for probably 3-8hrs, depending on how hard the Muse strikes me.  Books on shelves, art work on the walls.  Shelves perhaps freestanding or bolted floor-to-ceiling so there is no risk of them falling over and creating a domino effect as witnessed in The Mummy with Rachel Weiss and Brandon Fraser.  Behind the desk, or somewhere within easy arm's reach is a smaller book shelf.  This shelf has all of my writing reference books, current research books, dictionaries, etc on it.  Ok.  Perhaps a medium sized book shelf.  There may need to be a work table, or I could use a large size coffee table, just in case I need to sprawl for editting or research.  

I don't see a desktop PC in this office, only a laptop.  I see French doors that lead out onto a private patio or some such, and perhaps another window on another wall, or another door leading out onto another patio.

Perhaps I dream too much.  Perhaps I need to hit the lottery.  Whatever the case, I need to finish my book, get it sold.  Perhaps I will hit the jackpot, and be able to afford such a happy space.
