Where I'm sitting right now typing this post. You'll notice I have a pin board under the desk. This is covering all the wires and power points. I need a better solution... any suggestions?
You're probably wondering why there is a fridge in my study. Its wine cellar fridge and was hubbys 'must have' item (He really loves his red wine). It may seem strange to have wine cabinet in the study but our dining room and lounge room are right next to it.
At first I struggled 'styling' shelves. It needed to be practical not just pretty. Most the books are hubbys, although I collect '500 series' cookbooks. I already owned most the items so just needed to arrange everything. I'm very used to simple and minimal - which these shelves are not.
This is one way I keep organised... lists and plans !
On the opposite wall is my chalkboard calendar. I mention in the Kids Bathroom post I won a voucher from The Wall Sticker Company... this is the other decal I chose. I only write main events on here & I really enjoy adding little pictures to the events to match the party theme etc.

The powder room comes off the study. On the nib wall is an artwork I adore. . . my kids made it. If you're after a rainy day activity for the kids get some paint in your chosen colours and let them go for it. You never know, they may create a beautiful artwork for you to display in your home.
Tip: Paint the edges of the canvas in a solid colour, it helps finish off the artwork.
I love all the colour in my study, its the most colourful room in the house.
I've used a couple of free prints in my study. One I printed on sticker paper and stuck to an art mount block and the other I framed in my favourite wooden frame.

Hey Leanne, can you add some more power points under your desk so you don't need to use the power board on the floor? Then you can shorten/tidy cords with something like a "Cable Turtle"? Fee :)
Cant add anymore due to the brick walls. I just looked up cable turtle, that might work. I think I need attach powerboard under the desk and lift all wires up perhaps
Hi Leanne, who did your cabinetry? Or was it something you arranged through your builder? Thank you.
I used a local business (CJS cabinetry) - I drew up the design I wanted and he ordered the materials and installed it.
Thank you!
Hi Leanne, I love your blog and your home! You can organise your cables with this http://bit.ly/1phQgPC or this http://bit.ly/1p0quKB
Hi Leanne, which paint did you use for your wall, ceiling and cornices/trim? They look great!
Hey! The ceilings/cornices are just a basic ceiling white paint. The walls are Dulux 'Silkwort' 1/4 strength. The nib wall next to wine fridge is Dulux 'Timeless Grey' :)
Thanks for letting me know. Did you tint the paint yourself because silkwork 1/4 is not available on dulux website. I'm afraid my builder won't do it :(
I'm thinking of having limed white 1/4 for walls and lexicon quarter 1/4 for ceiling/trim/cornices/door. I'm having limestone bone xl gloss tiles. Hope you could give me some advice. Thanks in advance
You can get any colour in half or quarter strength :)
