    This is what I have been looking for... it's easy to find man cave construction, tips, tricks, and ideas but so much harder to look for elegance. Not that the traditional man cave is bad or lower class that is not if at all it's just a different esthetic; and thank the Lord that we have different people with different ideas, lest we all be bored out of our minds and never inspired, The nature of Victorian times of course was primarily the architecture amidst a backdrop of Europe preparing for the conflict that would be come to be known as World War I. Sherlock is a very deep character lots of layers and shapes that allow for a truly massive amount of different interior and exterior design choices. You both have done wonderful with this space! Bravo.

    That's the difference between a house and a HOME. It takes, thought, time, money and energy but I see that you are so proud of it and think it was worth it! Wish more men felt this way.

    I'm more of a study kind of guy rather than a man cave kind of guy. I'm into learning and knowledge waaay more than entertainment or sports. Thanks for the video. Gives me ideas for a future space.

    House decor 10/10
    That’s very asthenic appealing for a background for video content!
    It’s like chris Ramey style. But his more retro.
    Great work!

    that's a really nice study. I was watching the video and thinking "I can't believe he won't speak on that beautiful nixie and gramophone", good thing I was wrong on this lol. I like this kind of videos. you should do a video about yourself, letting us know things like where do you live, for how long you're interested in cards, what drew your attention into cards, these kind of stuff.

    Big fan of the new and classic Sherlock shows! I think you have nailed the look! I just bought some pillows that would go with your design perfectly! They look much like that pillow you have with the flowers on it except blended into the pattern is two skulls that are actually kind of large but fit in so well that you don't really notice it right off. On the opposite side of the pillow there is a very nice picture of either a bat, raven or skull that are done in the block printing style that was used for publications until the 1950s. They are actually very well made and soft pillows and believe it or not we got them at Krogers/Payless in the Halloween section! Anywho, thanks for sharing your space with us!

    The two things that impress me most would have to be: the fact that it reflects the two of you as one couple, and that you're able to make Victorian style home within the confines of an apartment. I grew up in an actual Victorian style home, and I live in an apartment. I never would have thought about merging both worlds. Well played my friend!

    The before and after shots are incredible. Going from an almost sterile environment to a true home feel is very inviting! You could enjoy a coffee while reading something from your well rounded collection or a nice Scotch while watching TV. Question.. how does the gramaphone sound with other types of music? I have a modern twist on a record player. It has a USB port so I can listen to my wife collection of music. Although it lacks the bass of modern speakers, the sounds come out clean and like music that came out from just before boom boxes came out. Yeah.. dated myself there.. lol.

    Good morning Gentleman Wake, hoping everyone is well, beautiful room and a rather unique combination of looks that seem to accent each others ... Being a fan of Gerome I recognized "Markos Botsaris" immediately, I must confess that his rendition of "Diogenes", "Last Prayer of The Christian Martyrs" and "Gladiators" are among my favorites, but his beautiful "Madeleine Juliette" (Dolls) touches me like no other work of art ever has, he captures a sense of purity and innocence that is amazing ... on another note have you ever read Marvels very first graphic novel "The Death of Captain Mar-vel" excellent graphics and a wonderful story ... I know, I'm getting long winded again (I apologize) ... there is much more I would like to say about the collections in your collection, but for now a huge "thumbs up" to the Lady Wake for wonderful sense of expression (oh and yours as well) and as always thanks for sharing this wonderful look behind the scenes

      It is both a living room and a study. When living in an apartment you have to make due with what you've got. If the apartment is small, a room will have to do "double duty".
