As one enters the building, there is a cloak room to the right, with coat hooks all around the walls and two stained glass windows. Hubby had the idea of putting in an oriental carpet, floor to ceiling bookshelves, and a squashy chair, where people could sit and read in the cozy glow of the stained glass. A mini Edwardian library. No need to convince me! I'm picking out paint colours already.
Cicero says that the only things you need in life are a garden and a library, and I am inclined to agree. I have stacks (boxes) of books to fill it with. Even some boxes in the crawlspace hubby doesn't know about. I'm planning to put bookshelves in the balcony all along the railing, too, but there will be plenty of overflow for the new book nook.
