Thanks Russ - I actually built the fireplace around the cabinet, so it was easier to give it a built in look.

A friend of ours visited my room and due to the theme: cowboy, harleys, guitars, indian stuff including my Zuni fetishes my photography and my whiskey bar,(I got a cheap stand, and put my whiskeys on display, got a sterling silver tray to hold my shot glasses, anyways she dubbed my room the "Testerone Room"...

Cabellas has a cool lantern it looks like an old time Coleman style lantern, had a clear and a frosted glass, and adjustable light..they come in brass, tarnished and gunmetal...they are very cool..

I will try to get some pix of my room up

Decorating suggestion: old map on the wall.

My kids gave me a spitoon, and I dump my change in it every nite. It is almost full...

I took a couple of pictures, and will post them this weekend.

Fellows,

I’ve looked through the posts and think it’s a great thread – blending daily life with personal old west interests. At first I didn’t think my library qualified to be included in the gunroom discussion but after seeing the various suggestions perhaps it does.

When I need to take a break, do some research, or just relax I often go to my library to do it. As it has some muskets stacked in the corner it sorta/kinda qualifies to this thread as being a gun room (I keep all my old west stuff locked up in a gun safe) so I’m posting three views below.

As you can see the theme of it is Victorian-guy related. Nothing frilly or feminine admitted (and the fact my lady likes it as-is is a plus).

YMH&OS,

Brass

Howdy, M. Jack!

Your corner decorations are pretty cool!

Is that a Stradivarius on top of the bookshelf?  :o  Or a fiddle?!  And can you Hoe-down on the corner - perhaps with "Willy  and the Po' Boys?"  ;D

The violin is a czech imitation of a Strad, nice old label pasted inside the violin body in latin but is unconvincing, but I can't fiddle worth a darn anyway. Might be worth a look to try playing as it would be fun in camp. Too bad I'm tone deaf! Still, it's a nice knick-knack in the library.

Here are a couple of pix of my "office" or "Testrone Room"

In the various pix you  can see my collection of Zuni fetishes in a ond small cabinent, the whiskey bar, with spitoon below (which is almost full of change.) Harleys I wished I had, Picutres I have taken and my ode to HO scale trains. I have a hat rack with a pair of Duke rigs, and non firing guns in them. I have 2 frames that I have put various sherrif badges. Under the hat rack is the lantern I was talking about earlier. It is really neat and has adjustable lite.. Also in one pix are my original "wanted posters" I made of me and Old Top and DreamCatchers given to me by various folks.  On top of the drop front are some indian beadwork, some made by me.
There are other areas that are cool, like in one cabinent I have a collection of miniture liquor bottles, some even still have a tax stamp on it...A lot of the room is messy by some folks standards but, it is where I hang out...
hope you all enjoy it...
Curley

Here are some photos of my toy box.  It could be 1880's or 1850's or 1900 or anything in between.

Adios,
Buck
