THE REVEAL - as they say in the USA! For me, Mrs Mac, I just say "here it is then". Not 1st class pics, but then I mostly blog about books and I can steal pics from elsewhere on the net to show you the covers. Here it has to be all my own work.....

| Wooden blookcase removed, new metal cupboard and shelves fits right in! |
 |
| And finally a real home for the printer - and wait till Mr Mac makes a "pullout" for it, too! |
 |
| That top shelf there..... I could treble park a lot of paperbacks up there if I wanted!! |
 |
| How it fits in..... very nicely - and you can get to all of it without moving anything else! | |

So there it is! The floor has to be tiled, we can get same-size tiles at B&Q but we will do that in the autumn - this is far too busy a summer! But what a joy it is to have all the stuff that might require a spare bedroom or a whole corner of another room in one tiny place, and to have been able to "tidy up" that corner for good!
And at some time in the distant future, when someone else takes over our little house, perhaps this will become a reading nook.... my measurements tell me that a large comfy chair or a small sofa with a little table for a cuppa would certainly fit well in here!
And Major Tim? He's a little light which plugs into the pc and comes on when you switch on. You can turn him off if he gets on your nerves by closing his visor, but he was a wee present to myself for only £9.99! Here he is floating in front of the screen ........
Metal cabinet and shelves from
IKEA's Hindo range of outside furniture at a total cost of £90; and the shelves come with 4 matching hooks, which can be removed or moved around.
