No. 994 - The Eclectic Scholar

Ah, the classic 'I'm trying to look intellectual but also casually quirky' arrangement. The book collection is undeniably impressive – and perfectly balanced by the random array of cables that scream 'I may love to read, but I'm not too posh to untangle some wires every now and then.' The charming little bowl of fruit brings a 'still life' painting to mind, if the artist was into tech and forgot to go grocery shopping. And we see the mandatory inspirational quote on the wall, just in case the books don't scream 'cultured' loudly enough. But let's not forget the retro red phone: because why not assure all your Skype contacts that you're stuck in a 1960's British spy series?
