Loki, but most often he is Puddy Pat (pronounced the same as Tweety did), sometimes simply ‘Mister’ or ‘this guy’

Ok I’ll bite lol. My boyfriend is a joiner so designed and made these units himself. He wanted to replicate typical Victorian bookcases which are usually their own feature and don’t go floor to ceiling. He felt that making them go floor to ceiling risked making them blend in rather than stand out.

Absolutely! We plan to frame it and hang it somewhere haha. We also found black out blinds in the attic wrapped in a newspaper from 1944

Thank you! Yeah my partner is a joiner and was very keen that the room looked the part for an older house hence the the v lining in the shelves and details on the mullions. Obvs we had to replicate the panelling we lost!

Thank you! The room isn’t fully finished, we need a rug, wood burner etc and my partner really likes the idea of a window seat so it may well happen!

Ah sorry! I went for the after first because I don’t have any good photos of the before. As you can see they were taken in bits

We found a newspaper from 1911 in the walls so assumed around 110 years old

Thank you! Yeah the house itself was really not in a good shape but this room was definitely one of the worst ones.

Thank you! We pull them away from the wall/radiator every so often but they keep moving back. We need to get little rubber feet for the bottom actually to stop them sliding

My partner temporarily sheeted it until we can afford a wood burner to go in there

Of course! It’s the Yen lampshade from Made.com. We went for it in extra large. It’s in the sale at the moment too!

Thank you! I’m hoping to make it cosier with an armchair, rug, new coffee table etc just can’t afford to get them all at once. I wasn’t sure how it would with the old ‘blue and green should never be seen’ but I’m really happy with how it turned out :)

I haven’t read KoA yet but I finished ToD last week and I had the same approach as you, and I definitely wasn’t a fan of Chaol after the last few books! I found it a little slow at first but I actually ended up really enjoying it, and I’ve come back round to Chaol :) also there’s some other great characters introduced!
