We've had some serious renovations done in recent months, pictured is
my "pool room". Obviously not a pool room...but it's where my better half allows me to put my stuff without comment.
What's with big wine kegs? Sadly, they were beyond our budget, so a door mural sticker had to suffice

Nice Pool Room Peter.
Everyone needs an area to stash their stuff without too much reverb/comment and in the event there's a "What's that?" or "Oh that's new" comment, then given that the area is rarely visited, there's always good old plausible denial .... "Oh that old thing, I've had it for ages .

OK, ours is a very much a work in progress as an upstairs pool room and is a mixture of kid's toys, gear and building materials at the moment. I'll see if I can find a pic, but in the meantime here is a video which shows going up the stairs in to the one day Attic Observatory-to-be which is adjacent to the poolroom/hometheater/whatever area, etc...... just turn right at the top of the long stairs instead of going up in to the attic..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H6kYp3JRBM
Reminds me when a tenant moving out offerred me a pool table..I did not want it because I was in a home unit..but he offered it so cheap and mostly I felt sorry for him that I took it off his hands...so in the flat we put it in a corner and you only could shoot from the two sides not against the wall...and so making doubles and cusssion shots became normal..plus it was a nice slate top with competition pockets..smaller than the pub ones for sure..so before the pool comp we ( my new partner and I) would practice for a couple of hours and then do very well in the pool comp..one night she got to the final playoff but instead of playing a shot she would have pulled off made the common mistake of listening to the croud and played their shot missed and did not get another go.
My wife calls the spare room my Garage, because there is more junk in there than the actual garage - scope, bayonets, gun vault, books, parts, aviation memorabilia....plus the bed I sleep in when imaging or snoring - the snoring is more often by far than the imaging
Does this count?
That’s my ‘Observatory’ under the laundry bucket.
... and no the wife won’t let me put a dome in the back yard.
She was happy for me to put one on the roof, until I mentioned the 20 metre high internal concrete pillar required.

How disappointing. 
There actually is a picture of Eta Carine in the room behind the sliding door.
