- Converted space above the garage into a secret library.
This is my wife's library (mostly her books, my books comprise a single bookcase). The decorations are hers as well, I just pick up the furniture from the antique stores. For those who wonder how much this costs - it was approximately $80k for the construction.
I put his up originally because I was tired of showing photos from my phone to my friends and family. The response is truly unexpected, as well as your kind comments. Thank you.
Peter
This is my version of Heaven. Fantastic home library!
Also to this, add infinite amount of women, if ye will go further to call this like"Heaven" :)
It's very nice, but don't sell Heaven short😅
make it sound proof and it's heaven for me
But we gotta add infinite amount of women too, to make it closer to heaven, right??? @@Fernandez218
No@@Fernandez218
OMG. This is everything I would ever want. The nooks, the warmth , the books!!! This is my heaven on earth. Beautiful job.
OMG I know right... it actually brings a tear to my eye... 😢
I honestly do not know what I love more, this absolutely gorgeous and cozy library, or that you entry it through a hidden door in a book shelf. This is a dream, one day I’ll aim for something like this as well.
this, and a great wife who loves ye and whom ye love in unfathmoable amounts
This is one of the most beautiful, creative and original things I have ever seen. I cannot imagine why you would call yourself mediocre, when you're clearly a VERY talented and thoughtful person. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. It's simply gorgeous.
Aye but it'd be even better too, if we can somehow get the list of books there :((
Breathtaking, but comfortable and livable; I could spend all day here. so many different seating areas, work/reading tables, beautiful woodwork and shelves for days filled with books. Cannot believe that this is in someone's home. This is the best home library that I have ever seen.
😍😍
This is absolutely beautiful!!!! You can tell how much time, effort, and heart went into this project! It's a dream come true (for me and many other viewers)! You have an incredible collection and sense of design taste (I'm jealous of your mystery section) and I love all the little details such as the mouse, the Hercule Poirot statue and the stained glass window (all of the little décor details referencing books) - plus making the bookcase door look like and elevator on the inside - brilliant!! What a wonderful room to spend time in!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you A Literary Fan. The design details were my wife's doing (except the elevator - that's mine). This is really her library, and your comments made her very happy as this was her desired affect (effect?) - I'm a numbers guy, and I don't feel like asking my wife which is correct. We asked the builder who designed our house to build a library with limited detail except dark wood, secret entrance, and English library feel. What you see is the result. - Peter
You can also tell how much money they have that most of us don't to afford such a set up. The hidden bookcases alone cost a fortune.
@@williamhowerton744There's always DIY options available.
@williamhowerton744 Those hidden bookcases don't necessarily have to cost a fortune. If you think so, you obviously don't know about construction. You can have just about the same thing for a few hundred, max - $100-ish for FB Marketplace bookcases you refinish and another $100 for quality casters and sliders on the wall. Don't yuck someone else's yum. It's rude, and really bad form.
It's absolutely perfect.
This is my dream. If I had such a library, I wouldn't have left the house. EVER.
So happy for the owner! I also appreciate the books you got there!
Anyone with these many books and such a fantastic library would be one of the happiest persons in the world.
That is the most beautiful, perfect library I have ever seen! The only thing it's missing is a sleeping cat. :)
A sleeping mini dachshund for me!
This is how I imagine the Ravenclaw common room… absolutely gorgeous
I've watched this video several times now. I can't believe how stunningly rich, cozy, warm, inviting and down right gorgeous this library is. Add to that the hidden room aspect and this is by far and away the best home library EVER!!!
St. Peter: "Congratulations, you unlocked complete relaxation."
Mind need books Man needs peace how much stronger he become😊
I don't think I'd ever leave that space, it's gorgeous ,cozy and so warm and inviting
The ornament that says " I like Big Books and I cannot lie" 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂Awesome!!
Wow! This home library is definitely not mediocre!!! Your wife is a very fortunate woman!
Thank you very much for sharing this!
Love this beautiful library! That's everyone's dream if they love to read . I love it when their was absolutely no tv or radio in it. Just a few nice places to sit and enjoy reading until your heart is content. Its exspecailly nice to have a fireplace if you a bit cold and want to warm up while enjoying the peace and quiet. Put in a coffee maker and a small fridge to put your creamer in and some cool drinks. You wouldn't have to leave that room for nothing until you need to use the bathroom or go cook dinner or clean up the house. But that's your treat having a library like this. You worked for it and earned it.
Как вы всех обхитрили) Смотрим - как много прекрасных книг, 2 шкафа! И вдруг... шкафы разъезжаются и мы понимаем, что такое много книг! Браво!
this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. The aesthetic is perfect and the fact that it's a "hidden room".... chef's kiss.
Very cozy looking. Has everything, even a spiral staircase, it doesn't have to go anywhere.
I notice that even in there, there are not enough bookshelves.
Beautiful work.
I think those are library steps - I've seen them in other private libraries. If I'm right they'll be on wheels, very handy for reaching the top shelves when the ladder isn't available.
well, this is my new favourite comfort video. what a beautiful space! cozy, inviting. perfect for writing and reading in peace
Wow! What a cozy and inviting space! It looks like a wonderful place for book lovers. And the hidden entrance is a nice, fun addition! Thanks for sharing this with us! ^_^
that is my version of a sanctuary to find peace, comfort and home. Beautiful. I love it.
Gorgeous library! And the little mouse at 1:52 is a nice touch. ☺
This is extraordinary and incredibly covetable!!! Thank you for sharing such an awesome space for books and reading!!! Beyond cool!
I love this !!! So beautiful !!!! My husband would absolutely love this room !!! Very charming and cozy !!
Breathtaking. Just absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing.
A beautiful library, congrats! Please post more or similar content. This video has inspired me to design my own home library.
how does this have so little views? it's absolutely beautiful
Dang, I'm going to show this to my coworker. He has a personal library of 12,000 books mostly about theology. I'm sure he'd love this.
Oh my goodness, I spent the entire video with my jaw to the floor. This looks like Heaven on Earth! 😍
Absolutely beautiful, I'd feel like Belle from Beauty & the Beast if I had secret library like this one😍
Hello from NYC and thank you for sharing such an amazing video with us! This hidden library that you have created is STUNNING, BREATHTAKING and just pure MAGIC! And like Liz Lemon would say, “I want to go to there!” 🤭
But seriously…
Blessed are those who get to enter through those doors! ALL those books! In ONE room! I could spend days just trying to search out all the details mixed in with your book collection!Some are obvious, such as that perfect Christmas tree in the corner! And some have to be searched out, such as the cutest little mouse reading a book! I could go on and on with the less than 3 minutes you’ve recorded! And I haven’t even started with your book collection! Take for example that Sherlock Holmes cap in front of the SH books collection! To DIE for! You’ve made my day Sir! Now I’m going to binge watch your other videos! Thanks again! And God bless you! 🙏🏼❤️
Perfection! I love the attention to detail. I want to visit and curl up with a book. 📚 ❤️
This is the most relaxing room I've seen. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous place!
Blown away. Truly amazing! A dream home library for sure
Absolutely gorgeous! A fantastic retreat!
Bravo. Stunning. Excellent taste in books also. You are a credit to civilization.
Wow, so beautiful, cozy and inviting! I'd love to have a library like this.
Finely prepared, very nice job
Dear Peter, this is incredible. The mood is beyond words -it is like an ASMR video, but in your house and with a little café table nook as the cherry on top. You sir, despite your self-deprecating UA-cam channel name, are not mediocre after all. Kudos to you and your wife. Bravo! ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This exquisite library has been decorated with love and imagination down to every book being placed carefully in its position. Such a feast for my eyes and a big satisfied sigh. Thank you.
Simply AMAZING! That is wonderful- come from a big family of traditional book readers and we'd never leave that room...love all of the details. That is Book heaven my friend- tremendous work!!!
What a genius idea, huh? Wonderful library. Thank you for the opportunity to see all this beauty.
Absolutely beautiful, A dream come true, Wow...that is the best home library setup I've seen.
This is incredible and my dream come true!! What a delight for a book lover. I would never want to leave that room!!
Can i just point at the small square table in the middle of the fantastaic room? What a piece of art that is! Love it and the room!
Agreed. Even better is I think they're library card catalogue drawers. I used some like them every day in my job 40 years ago, and they're both beautiful and appropriate.
Gosh, just wonderful, thank you for creating and sharing this.
Bravo, bravo, beautiful, inspiring, you can’t replace books, so cozy and filled with warmth,
Absolutely stunning! What are comforting addition to your place :)
A dream that im persuing! Fantastic home library, you just leave your phone outside and be happy for hours. Im my version it would have a piano as well!
Wow, this is a dream of every bookworm. PLease, make more videos about this library.
Oh my! Just wow! Excellent library. 😊 📚📖
Magnificent. I love my own here at home and I love seeing others as well. I am very happy for you. Enjoy peaceful days
Absolutely amazing work . Well done 🌻🦊🌻
Wow, how magical! Love it, thank you for sharing
It looks so cozy! I would love to read in a place like that.
I would have loved to have seen how this was built, It's stunning.
Hello - I had this professionally videographed in order to give my friends somewhere to view the video instead of me holding up my phone and showing them. I have pictures and videos of the building process, and I intend on creating a posting when I figure out how to edit videos and create something that isn't a train wreck. Until then, if you want to see the rest of the house (pre-library) there's a UA-cam video (that's how I found the house). Copy the link - ua-cam.com/video/yWyVx4ORQZo/v-deo.html. I know it's showing my address, but that video has been out there for 5 years. - Peter
@@peterthemediocre7242 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and for showing me the tour of the house, Peter. It is such a beautiful property and I'm still over the moon that you added this amazing library. I hope you get to spend as much time in there as you like. If it were me you would probably need to pry me out of one of these comfy looking chairs or else I would just stay in there for ever. - Judith
Sadly, the UA-cam video has been made private.@@peterthemediocre7242
@@peterthemediocre7242 I hope you choose to pick the video project back up! I've subscribed so I can show my partner if you post more. I know she'd love it. I feel like your library is what our bedroom would look like if we could afford to own instead of rent. As it is we just have a million Ikea bookshelves stuffed in there. :)
Very nice library in your home. I like the added touch of the Lego set 10270 Bookshop on the table. Cute.
This is amazing!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love the library (the map of London and the deerstalker tag your wife as a Homes fan). Wonderful. I will have to get one myself.
Absolutely magnificent and lovely, that is such a great place to relax 😊. The way the bookcase slides open reminds me of the 1966 Batman TV show, it’s only missing the bust of Shakespeare with the hidden switch to activate the bookcase 😅.
Wow!! This home library looks incredible!!
You should be very proud of this. Absolutely stunning.
This is absolutely gorgeous. This is definitely a dream house item.
WOW ! This is the most amazing library I've seen feels like me, feels like home and feels like heaven feels cozy relaxing I just want move in there and live in that space just add a Molly Weasley kitchen and a beautiful spa cozy old world meets industrial bathroom i would never want to leave.
What an incredible space! It's so warm and inviting!
That's not a library.... that's a bookshop! What an amazing space. Love all the details.
So true . I wonder how they keep track of all the volumes ?
So true . I wonder how they keep track of all the volumes ?
@LeCrenn, some good-sized libraries are bigger than smaller bookshops. While I don't have Peter's beautiful library, I have a few thousand books around the house and the study/library. At a rough count 23 bookcases scattered around, one or two both tall and wide and one or two small ones. About half are for leisure, fiction, cookbooks, factual books and popular science, that kind of thing, a good chunk are my wife's - she teaches young children and the rest are my "working books" - text books, reference books and so on. That doesn't include the books I have (reluctantly) bought in ebook format. All of that in a 3 bedroom rented house.
I think Peter's Library is beautiful and I wish him and his wife many hours of joy and peace using it.
@@v.dargain1678 Before I was virtually forced into getting bookshelves, I relied mostly on my memory. If the books are for personal reading and never ever lent to anyone, then it is easy to keep track by putting them back on the same shelf. More recently, I set up a database where the books are listed according to their place on the shelves. I work round from one bookshelf to the next and it is fairly easy, but just to make sure, each bookshelf has a name. (I use an older database that allows me to insert new records wherever I wish. Some of MS more recent products only append records at the end unless you resort by e.g. alphabetical order. My books are arranged solely by subject!)
@@charleshayes2528 A three bedroom rented house . So one whole room is devoted to books ?
it brings me joy to see a lovely true library, and not a kindle with e-books
there is something special about feeling the book in one's hand, its weight in hand gives a sense of the vast information it contains
This is maybe the most inspirational video I've ever seen. I watch it often, aspirationally. Good job, and thank you!
❤Congratulazioni! È uno studiolo meraviglioso, bravissimo, non è da tutti desiderare, progettare e realizzare qualcosa di tanto utile e bello e in modo così accurato!
Thank you, this made my evening.
I worked in a bookstore when I was young where I could buy remainders, and my sister caught me petting a book once.
wow so quirky and highIQ
Lmao
Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful room, you and your wife have every reason to be proud of it.
Absolutely beautiful. Now I’ve seen it this, it is my goal to build library like this.
Glad to see that although I may not be living my dream, somebody is.❤❤
Beautiful... You'd never get me out of that room!
Wow....
Simply incredible.
Cheers!!!
What a terrific room.
I don't have words to describe how beautiful that room is!! I'd stay stuck in there for hours lol, amazing!
The Library of Narnia! This is absolutely amazing and very inspirational!
Beautiful hidden room, a true book lovers heaven. I love ❤❤❤
I have a new metal workshop that is fairly large and my wife has granted me permission to build bookcases my vision is more in line with this. Very inspiring in such a room time stops, it is just you and the books and the crackle of the fire.
Oh boy am I envious! Stunning.
Library goals
Beautiful. Nice to see the card catalogue drawers in the middle of the room - I haven't worked with such in maybe 40 years. But if that's what they're being used for in your hidden library, they may be a bit hard to consult so close to the floor. Still, they DO add to the effect.
Stunning. Your builder deserves a medal! 😍😍😍
Just to add, the furnishings are perfection. You and your wife could decorate for me any time.
Absolutely lovely library! Would love to have it in my own home.
This is what I need in my home - thank you for sharing!
THIS IS AMAZING. HUGE BOOK LOVER HERE
I want one just like this!!! It is absolutely gorgeous and so inviting..I would never be found any place else..
Far from mediocre my good man! Wonderful idea and execution!❤❤❤
Sweet, I love that roll top desk in the outer room ❤
This is beautiful; just beautiful... and I'm so jealous!
😲🤯 WANT.
I love the use of the old card catalogue as a coffee table.
My family would never find me. I'd be in the hidden library enjoying the peace and quiet. And BOOKS!
Amazing space and idea! Love it!
Absolutely gorgeous...
Looks amazing. I will never be able to have a place like that but yours inspires me to make a 3D model of one
Absolutely fantastic.
Marvellous! One of my best dreams manifested here.
