I was getting bored with things around the house and we decided to do a big switch-a-roo. A few years ago we added an addition onto our home which gave us space to have my office and a family room. At that time, what was the family room became our 'fancier/quieter' living room. (i.e. The no TV room). Given that that room is also open and a major thorough-fare for the house, it never was very quiet and was kind of a waste of space. I had the idea to move the TV/video games/noise/mess into that room and make the addition space a 'library.' I must say I am brilliant! Without further ado, here are some before and after pics....
AFTER: THE LIBRARY
Oh, did I also mention it's the exercise room? ;-)
Our pub table is now the perfect game table...Aaron plays the piano and records music almost daily here too.
My favorite spot in the house is now curled up on the leather loveseat with a book. The blue couch is really just a large dog bed and space filler. We now have a wall of books-3 bookshelfs side-by-side --- love the wall of books --- I am still arranging and filling with books that seem to be all over our home. I have an idea of what to do with the big open space above the loveseat too.
We have enjoyed this room immensely in the short time we've redone it. So much better functionality and the best part? It's quiet. A quiet place to hide. Ahhhh....
