Wargames Eyrie raw potential


This is the current layout of the proposed hobby space on the top floor:


Back in September the thinking was that we'd use the rooms thus:

Room 1:  HQ - library, computer station, display cabinets, family games, table for family games, lounge seating
Room 2: Games room 8ft x 6ft table
Room 3: Armoury - storage, paint station and 4ft x 4ft table for gaming and work bench
Room 4:  Games room 12ft x 6ft table

The planning is still on going looking to start and complete in 2015. Living in the house and being able to see what the natural light is like, the thinking now is (with reference to the plan orientation in the photo):

Upper Hallway (left) - Hobby station - remove 2 en-suites and open hallway to become hobby station for painting and making stuff. Possibly display cases dependent on space.
Room 1 (top left):  HQ - library, computer station, display cabinets, family games, table for family games, lounge seating
Room 2 (top right): Games room 8ft x 6ft table
Room 3 (bottom right): Armoury - storage, and 4ft x 4ft table for gaming and work bench
Room 4 (bottom left):  Games room 12ft x 6ft table

Not yet decided but under discussion is the use of room 2 or 3 for clothes making/knitting.

I am currently researching what storage and display options to use. My wife's main criteria is that there is no mess (her definition not mine) on display. Her other suggestion is having the storage holding the table up on wheels so that they can be configured in different ways. She does know how to feed the megalomania!
