"The Snuggery" (a cosy or comfortable place, especially someone's private room or den).

Thank you all for your encouraging comments to my "Sitootery" post.   I'm so pleased you like what I'm doing with this.

I seem to have been on a roll with alternative names for the rooms I'm creating and this next one is no different.    I came across the word "Snuggery" and thought it was such a good one, I just had to use it.   It's really just a 19th century man cave but sounds so much better!

So, let's go to The Snuggery -

This little room is situated in the swing out section of the property and sits directly above The Sitootery and has the same dimensions - 11" (27.94cms) wide by 6" (15.24cms) deep.    All the electrics for this and the other two spaces have to be done by battery.    I ran the wires across the floor and up the left side of the door, through the ceiling and onto a battery pack which will be disguised as a trunk (or something) in the top space.

I ended up not using the electrified candlestick as the base was too large for the "shelf" which is a combined dado and display area as I wanted to get as much out of this space as possible.    It's actually a deep cornice using the widest part for "stuff".

I had been itching to get on with decorating this room as I knew well in advance where I would be going with it especially once I'd bought the fake bookcase.    This came from The Miniature Scene, York.   I knew exactly what I was going to do with this.   The door can now double as a bookcase - again letting me make as much use of the space as I could.

The painting of Rabbie Burns is actually a magnet purchased from the National Gallery of Scotland and is copied from a painting by Alexander Nasmyth (Scottish portrait and landscape painter 1758 - 1846).

The panelling was again created from the "how to" featured in Dada's Dollhouse blog

I finally got round to painting the little Moorish table from Arjen Spinhoven.   

I used mother of pearl paint with touches of blue and gold.   There's nothing quite like a wee glass of Glenfiddich when it's cold outside!

The wonderfully detailed smoking hat was a purchase from Jonquil at Latchkey & Jonquil     I had been saving it especially for this room and I love it!   Thank you Jonquil.

Oh look - a wee visitor!

There are still some accessories to be added and I'll show you those as and when they arrive.

..............and finally, meet Glenbogle the Marsh Hall stag.
