The Throne Room

[ in which Books are the subjects ]

.

Quite a while ago now I acquired an armchair. However, I didn’t have a room worthy of it. So we decided to make some changes: paint walls and rejig a few things.

Before

As you walk in you see right in front of you a bookcase and two desks behind it, one has computer on it, the other sewing machine.

At the far right corner of the room, there is a tall bookcase.

If you look to the right there is another desk with mirror and various make-up, jewellery fancies.

Also, you can’t see it on these pictures but to the right, at the same level as you entering the room there is a built-in wardrobe. It contains a bookcase…

After

If you walk into my room now there will be a different picture in front you. You will still first see the desk. But only one with the computer on it.

This time bookcases are behind the desk in a nice little corner. It has all my reference books, fiction collection and the beginning of a fantasy collection.

The far corner of the room now is occupied by the Throne. The centre of this whole space.  And of course there is the new colour on the wall.

Where my make-up desk used to be now is a modified bookcase. Modified by Ryan (with some help from his dad). You can probably see it was previously the tall bookcase from the corner. Ryan and his dad built new inserts for it so it can be laid out on its side.

I’ve also changed the built-in wardrobe. Sliding doors were removed and I’ve put there a desk with the sewing machine.

What I still would like to add is: nicer lamp, so it doesn’t look so out of place near the armchair and a nice artwork on the wall behind it.
