a {book}room of one's own

i have a dream.
i dream of a space all for me.
this space will include, but not be limited to the following:

• books.
• windows with pastoral, bucolic, boreal, or oceanic scapes.
• light {of the natural kind}.
• 18th-century desk like this one.

• typewriter.
• computer.
• quill, parchment, and ink.
• fainting couch.
• fireplace.
• a bosom-enhancing dress with coquettish lace collar.
• an eclectic selection of music ranging from Ulrich Snaush to Frédéric Chopin.
• an enviable collection of port, brandy, and scotch.
• a replenished [by my butler, of course] tray of cheeses, crackers, jams, fruits, petie fours, and chocolates.
• bright blooms of peony and bells of ireland - or an abundance of whatever is in bloom.
• a camera/photography station.
  

oh how i dream.
in fact, every night as i sit on the side of my bed lotioning my winter skin, i see a collection of pictures from many who also foster this dream for me. a smartly-dressed female on a ladder amidst stacks of books, an owl sitting on an open book, a card that tells me of my dreams...and i sigh, close my eyes, and wish.

and even if it never comes to fruition, at least i have been with my wish every night - and no economy or disappointment can ever take that away.

while we're on the subject,
i also dream of rooms and rooms of books. i think people used to call them librarys and i want one in my home. in my internet wanderings, i have stumbled upon some really dreamy pictures of what i like to call bookrooms.
