An organized file cabinet, bookshelves, clean desk and comfy chairs.
How to create a library
How I did it: Took my time. Painted the room a deep red, it took about four coats, but it's gorgeous. I learned a lot from my mistakes about the paint of dark colored walls. Shopped for suitable bookshelves and desk. Assembled these furniture items and organized the collections with my father. He is a fiction lover and one of the best people I have ever met. We had fun, simple times at home. Worked on it when we could. It is done now, but always improvable. More bookshelves or reorganizing or moving around pictures and paintings. I also bought the best gold chair with wood framing, it is so comfortable.
Lessons & tips: Definitely buy a very expensive and good primer, do not go cheap. Needed for darker colors.
Resources: I recommend having a buddy. Or it could be a loner project. Lots of coffee for the painting energy. Sams had the best large comfy chair, framed with wood, gorgeous.
