New room
I had a dark and dreary library filled with many dark book cases and enough books that it took 52 boxes to put them in storage. I had an old dark carpet and a very dark table covered with junk. I tore out the carpet got rid of most of the junk threw out the book cases. Put in a wooden floor, painted the room white, put my favorite pictues on the wall, along with the airplane I fly with a radio. Carol got me the cute lamp with the red shade and the clock on the wall which is also red and I now have a light and airy computer room. The books I will be selling on line a box at a time. I share the pictures with you because I told Lesley I would show her what the room looks like that I have spent the past three weeks working so hard on. It was fun doing but I sure made this 62 year old bones ache.

I'm so pleased we can post pictures here, it's always fascinating to see where everyone else is sitting and must have shown mine some time ago.

I love your corner unit and you have my computer chair. That is really a nice bright room.

What a wonderful den - and the floor is beautiful. I love the black bentwood chair and oh my goodness is that an exercise bike? That's what's making your bones ache!
Have you missed selling books more than you will miss having them about you in your room?

Love it, Garry! A room of your own. How great is that?
I think there might be enough space for a bookcase, to hold your favorites...;)

I have a bookcase in the living room that has my favorite books in it. I do however have some collectables that I will put in this room when I figure out which of the 52 boxes they are in.

I have a vision of a bookcase full of favourites in the corner of your new room; under a window, perhaps: and next to it a reading lamp, a huge leather armchair, and a little table, just big enough for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
