Finished at last!





Its taken me a couple of weeks but today I managed to finish Chris' study off, the new carpet is laid and I even managed to move his computer into it and reconnect it all without mishap!! LOL


It is a present for our 9th wedding anniversary which was a month ago, so a bit belated, but I am sure he won't mind.


Chris is a book lover - scri-fi especially and his huge collection of books has been confined to cardboard boxes in various cupboards, wardrobes and attics since we got married. Now he has his own cosy room to sit in, play on his pc listening to music, surrounded by all his old friends who are all sorted by author no less.... I cannot count the number of times I went up and down the ladder to make sure all the Ben Bova and Wilbur Smiths and Harry Turtledoves were together!! :)

  6. Wow! What a fab room!! I love the shelf units with the storage underneath. It must have taken ages to sort by author. I have to admit that all mine are authored and alphabetical!!
