Twinspired by Boy Detective

The case of Encyclopedia Brown's boyhood room

Donald J. Sobol, author of the beloved Encyclopedia Brown series, passed away last week. The books have been in circulation for 50 years running. NPR ran a great story about the series. It got us wondering what would the boyhood room of the boy detective have looked like. 

Let's start with a base from Serena and Lily's 
boy collection.The lantern turned bookcase is perfect.

For the boy detective who can never stop solving,
a puzzle rug.

A collection of well-loved Hardy Boys books.
He probably also had a copy of Nancy Drew, 
but too proud to show it. 

As perfect as the lantern is, it won't hold all of his 
encyclopedias. He needs a bookcase, but how about 
a folding one?

More bookshelves, of course. 
This time as stairs to his bedroom.

And, of course, a classic eyeglass case.
