thelivingdead531 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I have finally nearly finished my fossil room and library today! It's not as grand as many other rooms from members, but it's mine and I love it. Now I can lock myself in there with my fossils and books for some peace and quiet! The only major thing I have left to do is frame and hang a set of prints from @Bobby Rico above my larger cabinet. I feel like I have a personal museum! 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelivingdead531 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Oh, and I have all of my fossil books handy for reading next to my chair. Yes, I know Dinotopia doesn’t count as a fossil book, but you know. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkdoctor Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 What a lovely space and great displays! I hope you have many a fruitful and restful hour pondering fossils and such in your new room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The only book you really need! All the rest just take up space that can display more fossils. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Absolutely stunning! Geez I got all excited over getting a new cabinet, and you get a whole room to yourself! Not fair! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I got a whole room was because my husband got a game room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyb135 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 REALLY impressive display. That’s exactly what I’d like to do to my living space in the future. I’ll definitely revert back to these images for ideas when the time comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything felt huge, and loud, and flashy; it was almost like I was a kid going to a carnival for the first time. It was as if everything was in your face. I have to admit I didn’t like the transition and I’m still trying to get used to it again. I still have moments where I panic while driving because I think I’m on the wrong side of the road.

Looks grand to me! Congratulations! I have a section of the basement to myself, but it’s not walled off into a room. I would give just about anything for a door and a quiet spot sometimes.

After being in a tiny house for four years in England, we were able to buy a house that is probably double the sq footage when we got back to the States. My “fossil room” then was our dining room lol. I lucked out with this house. Some day you may have a whole room too, don’t give up hope! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
