My toy/wargame room is almost back to normal

Back in June my toy/wargame room I wrote a blog post about my toy/wargame room being taken over to store clothes etc., during the renovation of our main bedroom. That project is now complete, and as the hot weather has cooled somewhat, we have been able to clear the room of everything that was stored in there and I am able to use it again.

Hooray!

Here are some before ...

... and after photographs.

  1. BOB,
    Your hobby room is very neat and tidy- lots of storage spaces. Cheers. KEV.

      I had to tidy it up to get all the stuff that was going to be stored in it; it will soon get untidy again!

      All the best,

      Bob

  2. Plenty of room there for a Portable Wargame or a Dominion game! And the temperature is slightly dropping, to make it all more bearable.

    1. Steve,

      Very true on both counts! We have a busy few weeks ahead, but once things have calmed down, I have several wargames that I want to fight.

      All the best,

      Bob

  3. Yes, the wargaming room is always the first to go when extra storage is needed due to renovations ... I've been on a similar trajectory :-)

      It is a small price to pay for domestic harmony.

      I have a busy time ahead of me, but once things calm down in the middle of August, I hope to get some serious wargaming done.

      All the best,

    1. Tradgardmastare,

      I have lots of things that I want to start working on, but I’m going to be busy for the next couple of weeks so I won’t be able to do much in there before the middle of next month.

      All the best,

      Bob

  7. Hi Bob,

    Looking top-notch! Having a dedicated space reclaimed, tidied, and waiting for the next campaign is always a great feeling. Looking forward to seeing what gets onto the table first once your schedule clears up next month!

    Cheers, Andy

      It’s great to have everything one needs to hand … and I hope to be using the room regularly from the middle of next month. I only wish that the room was just a little bit bigger!

      All the best,

      Bob

      Don’t worry, once I start painting and modelling it will soon take on a degree of untidiness!

      All the best,

  9. I feel your pain, Bob. My room is not finished yet and I've got loads of my daughters crap stored in there, so at the moment I can't carrying on getting it ready. Your room looks very prim and proper, I must say!

    1. Ray Rousell,

      How long before your room will ready for you to use? I had mine built when we had a loft conversion done nearly twenty years ago, but for the last three years my mobility problems and the room’s use for storage has prevented me for using it as much as I would like. Hopefully, this situation will change soon!

      Good luck with getting your own room!

      All the best,

      Bob

      I might have actually managed a battle this weekend … but I’m told that it’s going to get hot again!

      All the best,
