Magnificent. I appreciate a humble garret if I could for a writing space, preferably with small windows. Some of the options ITT are too bougie for my tastes.

Growing up a relative had a spare room adjacent the stables of her barn. It was a nasty spidery room that I would never sleep in as an adult but it was cozy as a boy to read in and listen to the animals and weather outside.

>> No.11274262

Ok so I live and read in an attic:
>summer
>loud as fuck (children and men screaming outside, if you live with people all the sound goes up, water tank is beside you and that's loud as fuck)
>warm as fuck, opening a window only allows sound in, suffocate to death
>long way to get anything

>winter
>whole room vibrates with heaters thus causing awful sound
>if you live with people they're louder if anything
>temperature problem gone, comfy snow is comfy
>gets dark real fucking fast

Obviously your mileage may vary but overall I'd recommend living in the forest alone.

I've had the good fortune of only having to deal with silverfish once. But I trust neither. Spiders have no respect for personal space.

an oil lamp solves the lighting issue, the window will make the heat slightly more bearable (though it would be best to have a fan on groundlevel), the cold isn't a problem if you just pile on the blankets. everything else is sadly pretty accurate. the creaking would be nice, though.
