I work from home and study. We live in a very small 3 bedroom house and our study has turned into a bit of a store room
I study on the couch with my laptop next to the bookshelf. Absolutely do-able and for me a must. I wouldn't be able to watch the kids from study and often have a sleeping bub next to me on the couch. It means I can do snippets of work as i would almost never get a block of time to "go to the study" in between 2 hourly breastfeeds and poo patrol x 2.
Good luck!
