Thanks for all the comments. My wife just cannot get over the modern look of Ikea. We've decided to go a different route entirely. While visiting a friend, she noticed their home office was a converted dining room as well. Similar to ours - hard wood floors, chair rail, crown molding. This person had two beautiful antique barrister bookcases, a small leather couch, a tastefully done large desk, and a oriental rug. It was nicely pulled together. So we are dropping the Ikea route and considering a partners desk with two sets of barrister bookshelves. Perhaps something like this: To answer the other questions: - this is just a home office for the family - the ideal space should accommodate, a PC, laptop and printer (and shredder) One option if the antique desks are too expensive: we have a custom Amish furniture maker local. He said he would make whatever we want. I'm curious to hear how much he would charge. Even the Ikea stuff added up to $2,000 - $3,000. Here is a link that might be useful: Antique partners desks

Alright, I had CA closets come out. I was impressed with the overall appointment-- she came spoke with me about the rooms, showed samples, and then went in and measured everything. She asked if she could do the work here and came up with a design (though, she basically did what I told her I thought may work/ look good which is almost exactly what RL Relocation LLC said to do, but I have had a window seat with a pull out drawer for my printer (I use maybe 2x a month), and a pull out file cabient (I have about 12 inches of files and don't need much more room than that). She also added upp shelving on the window wall and then an L shape on the short wall. I'd post what she sent.. but I don't think technically I am allowed to. Cost was $5,500. She did not include a wall bed, which see said was 3-4K alone. I was bummed, but then, I have to be realistic and know I can't afford everything I want. She also did my small closest. Nothing wrong with her design.. but their "fully custom" options are limited to "standard" sizes, so my 23" wide closet, would only support 18"... Cost for 2x 18" x about 6ft with adujustable shelves and 1 pull out wire rack with canvas liner was just over $1,000. Nothing special about it. I am handy enough I can just put in the metal closet shelf things or even use 1x2s and boards to DIY (assuming I have the time, but I have the skill and tools). So that was a heck no! At the end of the day, I decided against it because the backs of the cabinets were all open, and to add doors OR a backing would have costs about 1K more. At $6500 I rather just spend $1000k on two executive style desks and move on with just a boring office. So, I took her design (which again was my + my mom's idea based on RL Relocation LLC initial suggestion... and did my own, and I am having a local hobby cabinet maker give me an estimate. Great reviews on next door, and facebook. So here is the new "design" I am having priced. I found a cool 3 screen mount that should work. Final cabinet measurements will have to be figured out. But just as an idea.

What???? You want computer stuff in a space with moisture and who knows what else . You should try to give us some info as to why this combo. Putting in a window is possible but not cheap. Is this in a basement? I for one need a lot more information

Hello again, I was able to get them done sooner than I thought. Please know that the style and colors are not being suggested only the placement of the furniture. Feel free to ask me any questions you like about the layout. The furniture and measurements are accurate. The size of the room and the couch are as you stated. If you would like me to move anything around so you can see it in a different location I will be happy to do so. Hope this helps. Marcie
