And when it was finished being painted etc.

Boy what a DIFFERENCE!! Finally, finally, finally! The books are in the house...in the library specifically! Whoo Hoo!! Here are some pictures:
This is the view from the door. Three tall bookcases
on the left, a ladder style on the right as well as a half height bookcase on the right. And of course, my chair. :-D
Here is a better view of the long wall - you can see two of the three tall bookcases. Also the door to the "closet". (Not going to open that door just yet. That's next on my agenda. LOL)
Here is the view from the window - showing the bathroom door, the two bookcases on that wall and the last bookcase - the short one filled with National Geographics. Thanks Mom! :-D
A little closer look at the short bookcase here - Gabaldon on the top, Tolkien on the next two shelves (yes I'm a geek!) and various and sundry on the bottom.
Believe it or not, I really need another tall bookcase. I'll put the books on the ladder stand in it and the few that I can't fit anywhere else. ~sigh~
But they're all in one room for a change - Yay!!
One more look at the end opposite to the window with all three tall bookcases in the picture.
I haven't yet finished the "decorating" bit - I have some very special needlework to have framed, but I put up some things to make it look more finished.
I closed the roman shade and took one more picture - the curtains are teal green, but they have a distinct bronze-y shimmer to them that makes them perfect with the colour of the wall. In fact that's the reason I chose the colour paint that I did.
(BTW, if you click on the pictures you can see larger versions.)
