dalma darling I love your plan and that it's a surprise! I see that you posted this a few weeks back, have you already completed it or are you still looking for advice? I'd love to help.

moenna Since your boyfriend is a writer, then no doubt, he will have many books. Paint to match something in the rest of the room. Add shelves for books, above the desk. Look on Craigslist, to find a chair at a reasonable cost,. Make sure the seat of the chair, is high enough. This is important. Many office chairs are too low. I tried many and finally discovered that a dining room chair with arms, was THE perfect one. If he writes using a computer, remember he should have the computer set, so that sitting in the chair, he looks slightly down on the screen.
As a writer and if he jots down ideas on paper, then make sure to have a nice waste paper basket, beside the desk. Difficult to place much on the opposite wall, which would not be in the way. So, place a nice large picture there.
Although I love drapes, I wouldn't put them in this small window. Maybe hang a shade which could be lowered during sunlight or night hours.
