So many lovely,lovely rooms! I don`t have time to leave detailed comments on all atm but suffice to say I love how we all have different takes on a theme,even given the limits of no CASt (grr). Welcome though @Liziann1,I'm sorry I can't help with the query about Flickr as I don't use it,but your study is gorgeous. I particularly love those scrummy navy walls- so masculine but classy!
Well for once I made this room pretty quickly and was nicely smug- until real life went inconveniently funny as usual leaving me no chance to get back in game and actually playtest anything. Finally it is all checked and I can submit (if my time zone conversions are correct!) *crosses fingers* Just a quick note,at the time of posting this my game is showing up on the in-game Gallery,but only intermittently on the Gallery link below...and also only intermittently with proper pictures. I have no idea what it's doing.it is there,I swear o_O

This is my imagining of Colin's study,complete with cosy fireplace and comfy chairs to relax in and read some of those many books he owned but never had time to read before; lots of paraphernalia for his new retirement hobbies (collecting,writing,pen pals,photography and violin),games tables to practice on in those quiet evenings or enjoy when his friends come to visit; a gramophone to listen to his music and of
course plenty of clocks!
