From Plain Bookshelf to Cozy Reading Room

Remember what I said about my “offsite” bookshelf here? At night, lit only with a lamp bought from Regalong Pambahay, the space looks, well, fetching. I've a photo somewhere in my PC of [Allan and Ken's] dog Marsha lounging on one of the chairs, my mini-library washed with soft light and looking distinguished in the background, but for the life of me I can't find the pic.
Good thing Allan and Ken, in whose house I'm renting the space for this reading nook, managed to retrieve the pictures (below). Lovely, eh? The handsome-looking restored vintage chairs, by the way, are for sale. Holler if you're interested. The artwork (argh, forgot the artist's name!), still in protective plastic at the time these photos were taken, was a gift, so it'll stay, along with the books.
