I doubt anyone is cleaning guns in room #5. Might have the smell of pipesmoke from two gentlemen handing a .500 nitro in a discussion of their upcoming African hunt though.It's no accident that the nicested looing rooms had the best lighting.
As an architect and gunno, I've pondered gun rooms deeply and repeatedly. I find I run into conflicts doing so. I tend to be very practical; I cannot imagine putting things beyond easy arm's reach, but, that display walls can be gorgeous. I like the idead, the design concept of gun room as retreat, as a study. Getting that to mesh with my practical side is complicated, though.
Perhaps that's from cleaning too many guns on coffee tables, and then watching tv with the smell of Hoppe's in the air. So, my mental image of a nice rug and leather chairs is tarnished a tad by thoughts of slipped CLP and BLO. But, I cannot imagine a room like that without them, either.
That, nd all the "bits" we all collect along the way--the boxes, the spare grips, the parts sets, the hoisters and slings we are not using right now, all the spare (and sidelined) magazines.

The older you get return on investment matters less.Biggest problem is that I'm getting too old to build something like that and get the use out of it....return on investment. Now if I was only still 30.....
