The process of cleaning out the study has been...dusty to say the least. I am most excited about finding some amazing old books and uncovering all of the scrapbooks and photo albums that my Grandfather had stashed away in various spots and making them once again accessible for the family to look at and enjoy.
Here we have a Men's Choir book from 1888.
Book of Concord circa 1940
A pamphlet on the evils of dancing.
LIFE Magazine Issue circa 1971.
Right now, the study has a desk in it--I'm going to be changing the feel of it and turning it into a library complete with sofa and ambient lighting.
Here is the current situation-- A lot of books and a lot of dust. What you're seeing is after I've packed up 7 boxes worth of books!
After a weeks worth of sorting, packing, and tossing the office is cleaned out, ready for painting and carpet removal.
Even after the things being given away were taken care of, it took a long time to get every book sorted and arranged.
Behold, one final discovery... "Celebrating the Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church". A six CD collection.
Last bit of carpet that this built-in is sitting on top of... cut most of it out, now to figure out how to cover the remainder up.
We've gone from completely full shelves, two desks and two filing cabinets in this tiny space to this- one desk and an appropriate amount of books and knick knacks!
