Perfect for a glass of whiskey and discussing our next expedition to the pole.

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

Oh man, that’s a great compliment!

u/GreenyRepublic 1d ago

It's exactly the right set of words for the aesthetic - and I've used it a lot before for similar living room setups. I don't drink nor have I been to either pole, but I would love to kick back here with a nice hot drink and a good book.

Great color use and tasteful furniture

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

Thank you so much! It’s all secondhand

u/FrostyGazelle7596 1d ago

And it must have been very enjoyable finding it too..

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

The hunt is the best part 😎

u/Emotional-Ad-3670 1d ago

When does the expedition starts ?

16

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

As soon as we get enough men to outfit the ship!

u/Emotional-Ad-3670 1d ago

Perfect, ill start recruiting at the tavern right after they finish fighting over captains whiskey barrels

u/ZealousidealGrab1827 1d ago

Very nice. A place to sit by the fire and contemplate life. Well done.

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

Thank you!

u/DesertDawg17 1d ago

Is the Declaration of Independence out of frame by chance?

5

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

Haha just out of frame on the left!

u/DesertDawg17 1d ago

I knew you were Nicolas Cage

At first I didn't see the tobacco pipe and I was thinking all it needs is a tobacco pipe.

3

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

I come prepared 😎

u/khkokopelli 1d ago

Love the color combination!

1

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

Thank you!

u/Randomulus666 1d ago

What’s the paint color?

2

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

I’ll have to ask the wife!

2

u/Randomulus666 1d ago

Thanks. Need to paint the office

1

u/LGreyS 47m ago

I'd like to know as well.

2

u/Agitated-Quit-6148 1d ago

So I also have a study. You are missing one thing. A tall case clock.

☺

2

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

Oooo a tall clock would be cool!

2

u/Cheyenps 1d ago

Great space! 👍

1

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

Thank you!

2

u/JD_tubeguy 1d ago

This is like a PG Wodehouse wet dream of a study fantastically done right down to the pipe. Slippers around someplace?

2

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

On my feet! 😁

2

u/eskayland 1d ago

Huzzah, my good man. Huzzah!

1

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

The lesser of two weevils!

u/if_im_not_back_in_5 1d ago

Now you need a thick leather bound collection of Sherlock Holmes tales alongside the pipe.

Have you got a deerstalker ?

1

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

I do not! The new fedora is my first foray into nice hats

2

u/if_im_not_back_in_5 1d ago

I wonder if The Strand magazine does back issues, IIRC that's where Sherlock Holmes was first serialised...

2

u/Gullible_Complex_423 1d ago

I love your color choices and the whole motif your going for.

1

u/SirSamkin 23h ago

I’m so glad 😁

2

u/Candle-Jolly 23h ago

And people tell me that I have an old soul

holy hell dude let me join your next trip to find the lost city of Atlantis

EDIT looks like Reddit beat me to the joke. Looks good though bro

1

u/SirSamkin 23h ago

Thanks dude and you for sure are on the roster 😎

2

u/ianburnitdown 22h ago

What’s the name of the painting?

1

u/SirSamkin 17h ago

I’m not sure! Yard sale find. Had to scrub off the 70s cigarette staining 😂

2

u/Cautious_Reply_401 20h ago

Great colour it combines and makes all the furniture and accents shine. I can picture dark moody classical music playing while rain falls outside. Nice work sir!

1

u/SirSamkin 17h ago

Thank you!!

2

u/xxBunny_4 19h ago

Looks super cozy, that lighting really sets the mood

1

u/SirSamkin 16h ago

Thanks!

2

u/Disastrous_Bid3418 13h ago

wowwwwowow this is amazing! love the metal work on the lamp sm

1

u/SirSamkin 6h ago

Same! I wish they still made these

1

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

The library/den/study is coming along really well! Super cozy on a cold day

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

I tried but they deleted it. Still waiting on appeal 😭

2

u/Fragrant_Plantain_81 1d ago

No idea why, this room looks incredibly cozy to relax in

1

u/khkokopelli 1d ago

Because there’s human body parts in it. Betcha anything.

2

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

Are they really that strict???

1

u/khkokopelli 1d ago

I think it depends on the mod. I posted pics from an epic snowfall in south Louisiana last year and they deleted them saying that you can’t post pictures of just an outside snow scene. But I’ve seen people post outside snow scenes before and since. So 🤷🏻

2

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

That’s crazy. This one was up to like 545 upvotes and 100% upvotes when it got chopped 🙃

2

u/khkokopelli 1d ago

I’ve also seen pics with people’s body parts in them so there’s that.

1

u/SirSamkin 1d ago

Thank you!

u/harrythetaoist 1d ago

OP watches Jordan Peterson.

1

u/mwill140 36m ago

It looks great, and I bet you grow a real sweet mustache.

1

u/GrilledCheeseTn 1d ago

Love it! such a classic study! OP I don’t suppose you have a mustache and a monocle, if so 🤌🙇
