The Library Snug....
The small room to the right of the hallway as you enter the house will make a perfect Snug/Library. With the walls decked in books and an open fireplace, and simple pieces of furniture like a striking chaise long and a comfy window seat.
 Underneath the already built in cupboards would be a good place to store wood for the fire. |  Where the hearth is.... |  Giving the library it's focal point & warmth. Finding the right hearth will be crucial, we can go to a reclamation yard like Eden Reclamation. |
|---|---|---|
 We have a great opportunity to create a special place in the window for a sleepy relaxing seat. |  Making the window seat deep enough is important to ensure it becomes a favourite family spot! |  The library shelving will come right up to the sides of the window seat giving it a more depth. |
 Behind the door and in front of the radiator is the ideal place for the chaise long. |  A bold colour with luxurious fabric would also work well in this room. |  This style of seat would be a perfect fit for the room. |
 The library shelves will run the full length and heightof the walls. |  Traditional evenly spaced shelves will give the room a classic feel. |  Alternatively we could go for a more asymmetric layout of the shelving......... just a thought though Peter! |
 The Library room will also house the TV, music system and DVD player inside one of the built in cupboard alcoves beside the fireplace so they can be neatly closed away when not used. |

The Utility/Boot Room....
This room will get so much use so we need to think through the best way to make the most of the space.
Places to store things like coats, bags, boots and shoes etc but also cleaning stuffs like hoovers, brooms and mops. Plus plenty of high shelving for those things you don't need every day.
 We need to make the most of this space...it's a wonderful luxury to have one and be one of the most useful room in the home. |  Making floor to ceiling storage and including pigeon hole spaces for boots and shoes will help keep things in order and organised. |  Wether we have a washer and a dryer or a washer and a fridge or freezer there is enough room for everything as long as we plan it out well. |
|---|---|---|
 These are always handy, especially on those damp cornish days. |  The stone floor in the hallway will carry on through to the utility easy for muddy boots and paws.... |
