At Long Last - The Library
 

I've been saying for years i was going to do this - now it's done ..

try to picture this as once a plain white room with horrible blue carpet - and no doors :

same with the dining room (dont at the same time - same floors) - it was all white with this awful blue carpet :

this freed up the sunroom - which was previously all books..

Sweet! Congrats.
The chair looks very inviting.
I am still trying to check if there are any hidden LDs in the racks...

Wow! I'm so jealous of your library! Great job on the remodeling. :)

Btw, what are those critters in your sunroom? :p

ITS....VERY NICE

Love the colors.


is that real hardwood or is it Pergo ?

Sweet library!! Is the chair a recliner? The dining room and sunroom look great, too!

Impressive..Very cool.

Though prolly not as comfortable - I always wanted one of those Leather Wingback chair that image Mycroft Holmes would have used in the Diogenes Club.

Nice work! :) Love the floors and you have quite a collection.
When we strike it rich (:rolleyes:) and can add on here, I want a library as well....that way we could move around our living room without tripping over books and movies.

1) no laserdiscs on the shelves - its 100% books

2) the critters in the sunroom are rats

3) its hardwood (bamboo)

4) the chair is a recliner - its a lazyboy - officially making me an old bastard for real

5) i wanted a wingback looking recliner and my wife said it was too big and ugly - So i went for the smaller recliner - its really comfy though

6) I'm really happy with the collection ... i have enough books there to keep my going.

One corner is filled with stuff i dont like - that i will get rid of as i get new stuff that i do want to keep.

oh - and that nasty ass carpet in the sunroom has already been replaced (just last night) with a better one by my wife...

The Sunroom walls were alive with rats, scampering and milling whilst Nigger-Man was racing about with the fury of a baffled hunter.

Brilliant, Urge. Couldn't hope for a better one!

Roughly, how many of those books have you read?

Oh, and have you got some kind of sorting system?

how many ? no idea - probably just a small percentage - there's 1000's there.


they're sorted by genre - and size - thats about it

Very cool Urge!

Do you have it all set up into sections/authors etc?

ahhh answered while I posted :D

Stunning!:cool:

Wow! Very impressive Urge, I'm truly jealous. It looks like you have a beautiful house.

thanks folks .. i'm pretty happy with it - took me 48 years to be content :)



just for the hell of it - this is the room between the sunroom and the library :

Wow man, you got a pretty sweet house. Gotta love that library man. I would so live in that room. I love reading. And knowing you there has gotta be alot of horror on them shelves.

That's a cool library. I'm wanting to do something like that at some point, but my current place doesn't have the room.

very little - oddly enough - i cant stand 99% of horror fiction :)

probably the worst written genre there is (in general - there are always exceptions)

You CUT HIM DOWN :D

that library is awesome! I'm jealous.

Love the RED room. Your decorator has good taste. [ I'm assuming its the wife ] :D

And the award for Gayest Comment goes to...

WHAT....I said I loved the red "room"....not red "penis".

But you didn't deny it either.

pretty much 50/50.

cant remember who's idea the red was

Ha did you finally remember the password to your old account Urge :D

holy crap - i didnt realize i was on the old account ...


thats funny .. i had to sign in - i figured the cookies had been deleted ...

weird

Nice library, glad it's finally done.

everyone is invited to come over and read books .. we can take turns sitting in the chair

Oddly enough, I prefer sitting (and even sleeping) on the floor.

until about 10 years ago - i could sleep on my head - anywhere at all.

not now though.... the floors are getting too hard :)

That, or the hairs are receding. :)

from all that sleeping on my head

Hey! You are using the old account again.

i accidentally logged on as urgeok at work because i was forced to enter my name and password for some reason (and accidentally used urgeok - old habit .. plus i'm urgeok on every other board i go to)


so at work i'm urgeok .. at home i'm urgeok2

Weird - I assumed that if your account was in status "banned," you wouldn't be able to log in? Is that a bug?

Not that I don't mind you logging in, of course. :p


Cool library, by the way. Are you for hire? I could use a handy man. ;)

i didnt do the work - it was paid for :)



but i am handy in some ways - i'm betting i could fix whatever it is you need :p
