New Additions to my Smoking Nook

[DeerparkDays]

Hey Snookie…..you are a man after my own heart mate.

Looks like you have a nice little smoking room there.

My Dad bought this rocking chair (built in Yugoslavia and spent its life in Canada…..don't know how it came to NZ…..someone must have moved here).

A rocking chair is the best thing……ever…..this is set up on my deck……and yes it has a soothing creak……

Thanks for posting your pics…..hope you are living well and enjoying your time.

Cheers,
Adam.

I hope the same for you, brother! That's a great looking rocker, and it sounds like it's come a long way for you to be able to enjoy it.

Is the desk something you could re-paint or re-finish? I'm not handy like that but know people who have made some very nice pieces from old furniture.

Well done on the chair and the rug!

I cannot read or hear "Navajo rug" but what I think of this song and the story it tells...

Dang, that one is an earbug! I'm going to be singing that all day... haha. Great tune. I added that album to my library. Think I'll listen to it through later today. Thanks for sharing!

Funny you should ask. That desk has needed to go for a long time. I don't think I could have done anything other than install a butcher block style countertop on the black metal legs, but I wasn't really interested in doing that.

In my quest for old, solid furniture, I had been keeping an eye out for a replacement desk and recently came across this one on Marketplace. The seller wanted $100, and I told him I was going to think on it. Then I saw he lowered the price to $75 about a week later, so I couldn't pass it up. Solid oak and made by a custom manufacturer in Montana. The seller was really nice and even agreed to deliver it for me.

I'm going to pick up a similar style leather and oak rolling office chair later today (I'll post a picture after I get it). Perfect condition and only $50. Secondhand is where it's at. You never know what you're going to find! I also really enjoy shooting the shit with people when we meet up for the exchange.



Plenty of room now for this guy to sit and nudge my hand while I try to use the computer...

Great desk! Great score! At 100 you would have done well.

I agree! A steal at either price.

I want to live in this room and spend the rest of my days smoking pipes and petting that cat.

A life well lived!

Since you're going all Thurston Howell the 3rd here , will those of us who sit in a 25 year old Lazy Boy be permitted to post in your threads ?

I will allow it!

The Snook Nook was already looking pretty swanky with the rocking chair and rug, but that desk certainly brings it up a notch! But in all honesty, the kitty is what really puts it over the top.

Haha, he really ties the whole room together.

Sweet chair and rug. Is that an ES 335 hiding in one of the pictures?

Close! It’s an Epiphone ES-339. A slightly smaller body than the 335.

I love the sound of an ES. I had a cherry red Gibson 335 that I sold to move to Costa Rica back in the early 90's. I've missed that guitar ever since.

Lovely stuff here, good finds!

Adam, is that an overflowing bowl of used matches?!?

I don’t know if I should be inspired or disgusted.

I like stacking things! used matches go on the heap, and I see how tall I can get it before it starts to crumble. Once it gets large, a strategically placed match or two can allow for a few more days worth of matches.
I do the same when washing dishes, drives Cindy mad when the pan she needs is under 2 feet of stacked things. I know, I live a sad life.
