No it's not. Not unless you stripped the walls.

>>19922681
Yes, it's called renovation.

Not quite what i'd do, but as someone looking for a reading couch im jealous.

Can i have a closer photo of the books, particularly the one on the right, second from the bottom , just above the whisky , ty.

Where do you buy the brick stuff from?

>>19922657
absolutely gorgeous, anon. Hope you are reading all them books!

>>19922686
Also, nice table! Reproduction or antique?

>>19922657
Sexy. Although it does lack any sort of personal flair. It looks like you just copied an aesthetic from art.

>>19922657
This is amazing, anon! I'm very happy for you - how much did you spend all in excld. books?

>>19922657

I don't even have a good reading chair/couch, I just gotta read in my bed :(

>>19922686
Oh wow it's real. In that case, I guess I'll say that I think the whiskey is a bit Kitch

there is something of the kitchen cabinet from those bottom drawers, but on the whole it looks great. I like the desk lamp BTW. Can i get a closer look?

>>19922657
>>19922658
>>19922686
Do you use an app or something? I asked where did you get the brick stuff from and how'd you do it?

>>19922657
Remove those cringe toys than we can judge

>>19922686
Looks lovely ke shitty hardboard brick sold at Lowes as a veneer

>>19922965
He nailed with 18 gauge nails hard sheets of wood fiber that look like brick

How's My Library Coming Along, /lit/?

Mirin' hard bros, especially that reading couch OP

>>19922657
I live in a van and read books on my phone.

what's in all the cabinets?

>>19922657
>placing books where the sunlight can hit them
Enjoy your sunburnt/faded book spines.

>>19922686
How much do tall bookshelfs like that cost? I'm getting a house soon and I need somewhere to put all my books since my reading has picked up.

>>19923255
Reddit moment.

>>19923240
You're going to be dead in less than 60 years. It doesn't matter. The effects of sun deprivation are worse and anyways light kills mold.

>>19923351
>You're going to be dead in less than 60 years.
And your spines are gonna be fucked in less than 3. Enjoy having a red-covered book with a pink spine because you didn't care about UV damage.

>>19923425
UVA damage occurs over 100 years. As long as you have your windows shut, literal non issue.

>>19923348
have you seen this thread?

>>19922657
Congrats…middlebrow par excellence

>>19923429
Tell that to car dashboards, curtains, and animal bones retard. 3 years? Maybe not, but you're kidding yourself with 100. Unless you have some kind of window film on the window to block UV the sun doesn't care if the window is shut. Either way imagine destroying something because you're too fucking lazy and stupid to just not destroy it. fuck you

>>19922657
Rich bloke…. Thankfully I can get the same amount of reading on my phone while I’m stressed out about nonsense in no place comfortable at the least

>>19922657
McMansion-tier; a middle-class American's idea of sophistication. The desk facing the window is the shit-cherry on top.

>>19925796
Eames is unfortunately passe now due to replicas. My friend lost thousands because of this, but I tried to warn him

>>19922657
Let me guess, American South inbred who has too much money to spend? Setup is cozy, but not one of those books looks worthwhile. At least you have good taste in bourbon.

>>19922657
I used to drink that Van Winkle Rye when it was $35 a bottle. I can't believe retards pay hundreds for a bottle of American whiskey now.

>>19925865
Never mind, average Tufts graduate

>>19922657
Screams poseur attempt to copy an old library.
You haven't even read any of those books.

>>19925796
there is nothing wrong with it

>>19925796
Anybody who cares about low brow and high brow and what others think clearly pees sitting down.

damn chase steeley browses /lit/! mega based!!

>>19926085
There's a lot wrong with it. It's trying to be something that it clearly isn't and can't be given the owner's financial limitations. It's like a counterfeit wristwatch; all the elements of the aped watch may be present but only in a debased and inauthentic form. It's far classier and self-honest to buy a real watch within your price range

>>19922657

>>19922657
I’m told direct sunlight isn’t very good for books so be careful!

>>19925694
Not books. Thinner single layer glass. Open windows. Too smooth of brain. Don't forget your OCD meds.

>>19926189
I unironically don't own any books.

My library is a 512GB microSD card ...

>>19926189
Dumb chart. It doesn’t take into account age and couples

>>19922657
Very nice, how much did the renovations cost?

>>19922657
shelves are very nice, but that fake brick stuff is just dreadful. also, would feel a little less cold if you had some plants near the windows.

>>19922657
you did great with that place, the before looks like a better crack house, although i personally condone the flashy style and the hoarding of books in order to show of, in general.

>>19922657
>>19922686
Looks pretty comfy. Whiskey selection is kind of unimaginative though. There's more to drink than Bourbon.

>>19922657
Cool, but kind of a generic "dude cave" vibe.

Is that a Robert E. Lee Funko pop?

>>19926189
Right could just be le epic book collector though. It should be about how many books he's read not how many he owns.

>>19922658

No one cares about your house

>>19922686
Holy shit, it's real.

>>19922657

>>19922657
33yo butcher who reads at the public library here.

I can't understand how a " "man of culture" " can keep one of those sofas in his library.

Since i was 17, after reading "the death of ivan il'ic", just thinking about having one at home makes me shiver.
