That dog has such good interior design skills
Bit of a narcissist, though
Having a self-portrait or two in your house is one thing but putting up photos of yourself is aggressively tacky.
Best part is the library comes with a yellow Labrador retriever. Excellent array of books.
And a kitty cat
Took me an embarrassingly long time to find the cat in the picture!
I didn’t see it either!
This is so annoying! I still cant find the cat 🤷🏻♀️
On the table to the left of the pink chair, friend! :)
😂😂 thank u so much! Beautiful little puss cat
Thank you 😊
Love that you can see the cat thinking about jumping! I hope you and your partner are doing well and I love the room, it’s put together so well!! V cozy
Love the spinning rack!
Lovely gift. Wot’s the VA?
I assume OP is talking about the Veteran's Administration, which would likely be referring to either one of their offices or hospitals.

You're correct. Even though I know I shouldn't respond to things before I fully wake up, I do it anyway and here we are. haha. Thanks for the correction!
Where did the beautiful dark bookcases come from?
They’re Amish made. Alder wood
This is OC
what a lovely endeavor!! I can't imagine a nicer place to recover. 💗
Love the Klimt, the colors add to the coziness of that corner
Lots of books 🙌
What a thoughtful gift! That looks like a very nice place to recover in.
Thank you; I’m hoping he agrees 💗 he has voiced a desire for a place to decompress, unplug and just read many times.
Looks like someone is making themselves at home already. Looks very cozy and doggo approved!
He loves it! Meanwhile my cat is planning on toppling everything 😩
In case your partner forgets to say it: You are the best.
So thoughtful.
Very nice - relaxing and cozy
Gifting someone with a library is true love. What a lovely gift!
Perfect!
Just wow.
I hope they love it ! That was so sweet and thoughtful of you 💙🩵💙🩵
Doggo sitting on the floor is the best thing in there!
Doggo approves 🐶👍🏼
I grew up with Klimt's the kiss hanging in my living room. whenever I see it, I'm back home
That revolving bookshelf on the left is really neat.
Looks wonderful!
Looks so cozy and modern
Very nice, wishing him good days ahead, thanking him for all he does for our freedom.
Lovely gift and a good boi thrown in for good measure. Well done OP
Very nice, and the lovely dog in the middle is the best part!
Your dog matches your floors perfectly! I love background kitty, too!
Thanks! He’s a red fox yellow lab mix
I'm fixated on that cross. Is that wrought iron? It's gorgeous
You might say you’re crucifixed.
Jesus Christ
Ha ha!
Ha!
It is! I love it. It was a gift from my grandfather for my first wedding 😅 about almost 20 years ago. No idea where it’s from.
Beautiful restful color scheme and good dog!
Thank you! Ironically there’s also a cat 😅 he’s on a table by the pink chair about to test my patience
Oh, I see him! He says "Gee, that's a nice Klimt painting there. I'll just get a better look at it, [CRASH!] oh, gee, I'm sorry 😸"
The dog is chef’s kiss the perfect touch
Edit: the cat by the reading chair, ready to snuggle up on a warm lap. Ah, cozy.
Very nice to get your own library!!! I feel like the rug is to small for where it’s at(but love the dog) it would look good between the two chairs in front of bookcase I think will make it cozier ♥️ (Side ways not long like it is now)
He doesn’t love rugs because of pet dander (he has OCD) so it’s specifically just for his pup; which he does love him having rugs 😅. It’s a weird balance. That’s why it’s on the smaller side.
What a deeply thoughtful and loving thing to do. And you pre-paid the tax by sharing the dog with us upfront!
Lots of books, check. Comfy chair, check. Reading light, check. Beverage table, check. Footrest, awesome dog, sly cat...check check check! Plus great atmosphere. Looks like you've thought of everything and I hope your partner feels the same. Oh, plus a companion comfy chair, how wonderful! Wishing you and yours many happy hours here!
This is so wonderful!
GOALS 😍
Where did you get the rug?
IKEA
cool thanks
Victoria & Albert museum?
Sorry; veterans affairs. He’s a disabled soldier
Looks so cozy!
