don't forget the big globe that opens to reveal a mini bar with cognac and little glasses

Oh oh, and you've got to have brass green shaded lamps with fringe. It's the ultimate in library decour.

i am loading up the books now .... should take a few more days.

then i het the rug and the lazyboy .. pics coming soon folks

I'm so jealous! I always wanted to do this, can't wait to see the pics! :)

Though you should totally have a secret passage where you pull one of the books to open the door. :p

thats not even a joke - i considered a hidden panel for the more rare books :)

Looking forward to checking it out. What are some of the rare books you own?

well, i have a signed first edition of Cities of the Red Night (william s burroughs) which is pretty cool ..

ist edition (canadian) of '1984'

the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th origional hardcovers in the Tarzan series ..

a few other signed books and 1st editions ..

You totally have to do that! :eek:

When I get a house I want to do that to like half the rooms, though my husband will probably consign my hidden rooms to just a closet or something. :p

ah - it's too late now - it would have been tough anyway -

the way they do it is by making a series of enclosed cabinets and installing them .. it would have been a bit of a nightmare.

i'm still happy with it though.

the same guy has put crown molding in the family room and the dining room (just yesterday) and this week the painting of the dining room should be complete...

after everything is done ... we're getting the stairs and landing done in hardwood as well.

then we rest.
