I don't think the majority of /lit/ has money to decorate all that much...
I want a lecturn but they're expensive to buy, so I use a music stand (wrought iron I found being thrown away) isntead.

Op you are in a privileged position to design your own dwelling. For the love of God do NOT use overhead lighting in your study, living room, or bedrooms. Kitchen is acceptable.

A lion, you can see it is his eyes that he's aware of it.

>In the legend St. Jerome is said to be giving a lecture to his students in Bethlehem when a limping lion came to him. While the others fled, the saint welcomed the lion. He examined the injured foot and extracted the thorn he found there. This cured the foot and the lion stayed with St. Jerome until his death.
