Hi Rose! Hope you had a good Friday and you have a great Saturday! I finished my study for Colin tonight. I had a blast doing this. This is based off my grandfathers study. He wasn't a clock maker, he was an accountant, but I loved getting to sit in his chair behind the desk and play with the adding machine and really, any time I was allowed to go in to his study with him. It was always his domain and no one was allowed in without his permission. I hope you enjoy it.
Now I'm finally going to take a closer look at what everyone else did. I caught a couple of quick peeks, but then I didn't want to be to influenced by what they'd done so I had to stop from looking anymore. YAY! Now I get to look.
Hello @Ivanna420 It is very special that you have based your room on your Grandfather's study. It is nice hearing about your grandfather and your nice memories of his room.
Your study room is so very nice! The brown and gold colour scheme of the room has such an elegant richness feel! The wall paneling/texture looks so very nice! It looks very nice how you have the fireplace area corners as bookcase walls! The bookcases on the corner walls creates a very nice look! The fireplace alcove is very nice ! It looks very nice that you have placed clocks on the top of the fireplace ledge, and the portrait picture on the wall suits the study theme very well! The violin is a nice touch laying beside the fireplace. Colin will enjoy picking up and playing the violin whilst warming up near the fire. Very nice study desk area! The leather armchairs that you have used there look nice and comfortable for Colin to sit on when using the computer at his desk table. It looks nice how you have angled and placed armchairs in the front of the desk table for Colin and his friends to enjoy having a talk together. The patterned floor rug under the table looks nice and suits the colour scheme of the room. The pencils are a nice home touch on the top of the desk. The globe is a great study touch in the room. The type of double doors that you have used in the room looks nice. It looks nice that you have placed a grandfather clock beside the doors, for Colin to enjoy seeing when entering the room. Colin will have lots of fun playing darts in his study. The wooden floor patterning is very nice! The whole room has such a very nice richness feel ! He will enjoy dancing to the music from the old fashioned stereo, or just enjoy sitting relaxing on the leather sofas in the corner sitting area, listening to his favourite radio music being played. The clock lamp on the corner table looks great! The golfing and boat pictures look very nice on the walls! They are very calming sights for him to see whilst sitting resting there. The white lamps that you have placed in the room look nice and they add nice touches of white in the room. The coffee alcove is very nice! It looks nice how you have placed crockery and drink cabinets above the ledge. Colin will enjoy having a cup of coffee from the machine whilst resting on the seats in the room. The cuckoo clock on the wall and the other grand father clock on the side wall are nice touches in the room. Colin will enjoy seeing all the great clocks in the various areas of his study.
His study is very richly elegant! The colour scheme is so very nice! It is a very nice room! Thankyou very much for entering this week's challenge!
Wow everyone's entry is so awesome! I'm really enjoying stalking all of these :) I finished my entry, but don't have enough forum posts to post pictures yet, so I'm just going to lurk for another minute!

Hello @prettyprettyplumbob I will look forward to seeing the pictures of your room when you are able to post pictures.
ooo @Ivanna420 , are those furnishings CC? I don't remember seeing those bookcases in game. How very elegant
@soocoolsim - Actually those are from the store. I don't use CC anymore. It seriously messed my game up early on, and I haven't used it since. It's from the Club Vaindenburger Study set. It's called the Venerable Vellum Volume Vault. Actually most of the furnishings in the study are from that set or from the matching den set. I love both the Den and Study sets. The combined sets were the very first set I ever bought from the store and I still use most of the pieces on a regular basis. I'm glad you like them.
@rosemow - Thank you again for all the sweet comments about the study. I really enjoy the trip down memory lane it provided for me while designing it.
Thank you rosemow and janineisabaws for your comments on my room. I've enjoyed looking at the rooms posted so far. Will be back on Wednesday to see the rest and to get the next challenge. Have a great rest of your weekend.
@monday_34 Both of your studies are fabulous! The green walls and leather furniture work so well for the more traditional interpretation, and you did such a great job finding clock to match the modern theme of the second one.
@Ivanna420 I am very jealous of Colin! I want to sit in that big chair and sternly call people in for meetings, haha. I adore the clockwork pattern on the walls, and of course all the lovely bookcases, and the fiddle is such a nice touch. I liked the room even more after reading it was inspired by your fond memories of your own grandfather's study; as Rose says, that makes it very special.
@GreenCats - Thank you so much. That means a lot coming from you. Would you believe that clockwork pattern on the walls is a re-color of an EA leather pattern. I had to use it when I found it. It just seemed to fit perfectly. When I saw the fiddle I was instantly reminded of a scene in a Sherlock Holmes book, well actually a couple of them, and how he like to improvise compositions on the violin while he was thinking. Then I could just picture Colin, sitting in front of the fire playing, while lost in his memories of his clocks. The rest is all based my grandfather's study.
@janineisabaws - I love your wall of clocks! I had to work really hard to not use that in my own. A very nice gentleman's study! I wish I could do the smaller scaled rooms and houses. You did a great job making it comfortable and not crowded
@Kc71886 - Another awesome room! I love the color scheme you chose! It gives it a kind of nautical feel. You did a great job including his love of his clocks into the room, too.
@monday_34 - Both of your studies look great. I like that you went with both, the more traditional for the first and then the modern on the second one. You did a great job find plenty of clocks for both styles.
My study probably won't show up till tonight or sometime tomorrow at the latest. I got caught up in another build!
Hello @60smusiclvr I will look forward to seeing your study! It is great that you were enjoying doing another build. I hope both builds go well.
Happy simming!
@Ivanna420, thank you but I love your build as well I'm okay with smaller builds because when I try and do larger builds, I'm not very good at effectively using the space but I love how your study is spacious, yet doesn't seem too empty.
Your study for Colin is very nice! @Sweet2 Very nice furnishing of the room! The fireplace sitting area is very nice! Colin will enjoy sitting resting on the armchairs there, warming up in front of the fire, and having a read of a book from the bookcase . It looks nice that you have placed a clock on the fireplace wall for him to like looking at whilst sitting there. The red colour of the armchairs looks very nice in the brown colour scheme of the room. Very nice study desk area! It looks very nice how you have placed the clock into the study desk wall and on top of the desk! It looks great! He will enjoy sitting at the desk using the computer and listening to his favourite music that is playing on the gramophone. The gramophone suits well the type of room. The clock is a nice touch on top of the study desk. It looks nice how you have angled the gramophone into the corner and created a music corner nook. The grandfather clock near the wall is nice for Colin to see when he enters his study. Very nice texture of the walls.
Colin will enjoy spending time in his study! It is a very nice study! Thankyou very much for entering this week's challenge
