The Family History Library

After a few additional coats of paint on our plywood plank floor and the completed transformation of the yellow room to a blue room, we were able to stage the library.  Great grandma's kitchen table had been covered in tin and used as a workbench in the basement for decades.  It has been recalled into service as our "new" library desk.  
The antique books have been returned.  The radiator cover is a great place to display copies of favorite family photos. 

The family history picture collection is now safety housed in the Library.  Above the bookshelves is the original Apartment sign painted by granddad that hung above the main entrance. 

Gr grandma's kitchen table has been paired with an IKEA shelf and Windsor chair for a functional workspace.
