Library?

Jim doesn't know it, but I was thinking one of these days when we get the necessities of fixing up Sunnybrook out of the way, I would love to have a library in the middle room upstairs. That sounds so pretentious doesn't it? I do think so. However, I love books and I have a bunch of them....and really a library is only a room with a bunch of shelves for books and a comfy chair...and maybe an ottoman. So, I think it's just the word "library" that makes the whole idea sound pretentious. 

I looked, and this is something that I think could be built fairly cheap......a must, and without major work....probably a must also, as I may have to do it myself. (which is out of the question).


Below are pictures of the upstairs room at Sunnybrook in question.

The doorway from the hallway.  Those are black lights, and before you ask, I don't EVEN know.

This is the right side of the room.  The strip of white you see on the right of the picture is the doorway into the back bedroom.

This is the left side of the room. The bathroom will be on the other side of this wall.


I think it just needs a bunch of shelves built around the room, and a nice chair....and some paint.
