I work in this room at our gaff. What have you done for lights? I Should have taken the opportunity to put in spot lights when we had the roof off.
Howard-
It was this, or something very similar. Sticks out only slightly less than the flourescent bulb but doesn't create potential glass shard death if I smack my head. And they can be directed. Ms_com is 6" shorter than me so never going to be an issue for her and also hence why she gets this room as her office and I get the tiny box room with 10' ceiling.

Thanks. Mis-matched wallpaper is intentional. Ours is not to reason why.... Despite there still being other unfinished rooms, they have not even been started. This one was started when we moved in over 2 years ago. But a combination of design delays, it being full of crap and me getting absolutely fucking furious when I smacked my head, shoulders or back on the low ceiling meant it has crawled along. But getting the new veluxes(i?), smashing out the weird bulkhead thing in the top right of the before photo (where the old expansion tank used to live), stripping the nasty varnish and covering the shit paint job the previous owners slapped on with a brush (often over blu-tack and old panini stickers), building a built in cupboard in the weird alcove to the left of the smaller velux, creating the requested built in desk/shelf wall, filling the million nail pops from when the roof was replaced (should have just paid a plasterer), replacing the head lacerating light fitting, restoring the rad, have all been very satisfying. ms_com has a double sofa bed on the way (so it can double as another spare room) and it will likely get a massive rug.
