Is there a question?

cool spot. painting? staining? what's the dilemma?

do the back wall in some reclaimed wood.

Looking for stain color ideas. Trim is white, floor is gold oak and walls are a light blue/gray. Any thoughts from the group?

I guess my first question is how you want to use the space-- as a real office or occasional space? It looks like you have internet/ethernet capability on the wall. Are you going to put a computer monitor on the wall? If so, I'd opt to paint the "nook" in a dark color -- and maybe even a chalkboard paint if you're going to use the space for creative stuff. Other options: you could wallpaper the back wall in black and white (there are some very cool wallpapers that look like old libraries and others that are vintage newspapers) I don't know if you could stain the wood desk -- is it MDF or wood? Anyway -- I'd either stain it dark - think espresso - or maybe opt to paint it glossy black and cut some glass to cover it. If you're only going to use the space occasionally, I think I'd get some stools or poofs that fit underneath the desk. If you have a lot of books and office supplies, some floating shelves above could look very cool in espresso - or whatever shade you choose for the desktop. Good luck and have fun!

I suggest not to stain it ,keep the natural colour of the wood

The space is more of a nook than a real desk. I may get rid of outlet and phone jack. The wood is oak. I thought about putting two end to end shelves across.

Would keeping it natural oak color look good with golden oak stained floor? My mantle on other side of room is a dark color - Kona - any concerns with too many wood colors?

I happen to love different wood colors in a room. It adds more interest instead of everything being matched perfectly. I also like the idea of either painting the back wall with a cool, bold color or putting up an interesting wall paper.

Hi---very nice colors.

The natural oak looks lovely, keep it. I think wallpaper would elevate the area, might be worth consideration.

Hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
