Not quite enough space to call a Pipe Lounge, but sufficient for my needs. A place to work on restorations and repairs and space to display my pipes and store the baccy. The Wall of Bookcase is a hack of three IKEA Billy bookcases, some trim and a bit of lighting. Cheap and effective, and I added electrical outlets to allow for some music etc.
The room before the renovations:
Installing the bookcases:
A bit of faux board & batten wainscotting for that Old World look:
After a lot of painting, cleaning and organizing, things are taking shape nicely, though the room will likely be a perpetual Work in Progress:
Top Centre shelf - my Dad's pipes, restored and preserved
My latest addition - a 3-tiered Decatur rack for 36 - nearly full of my Brighams already!
Pipes on the worktable for restoration:
And more waiting patiently in my Refurb Box. I've been stocking up this summer!
My old leather archair was declared Persona Non Grata by the DW (!!), so I'm on the lookout for a new one and perhaps a carpet to complete the room, but for now it's at least functional and no longer filled with drywall dust and paint fumes!
Now I just need to figure out how to work my guitars into the space so I can close the doors and hide away from the womenfolk! :lol!:
