Furniture Update!

I just sat down in the lounge of the library, and have discovered a new large grey boxy chair and two footstools, as well as a random table/desk in the lounge! Seems peculiar, since I would assume the new library would be getting all new furniture anyway, but I suppose this library has to have new furniture when the new library opens as well . . .

Also odd colour choice, given the beige/taupe colour palette of the current decor ...

Brown + Blue = Green?

Hello Everyone!

It has been quite some time since I have posted on here! I have plenty of things to talk about, but I'm sure you can relate to the way assignments, social events, and an actual social life all seem to pile up at once sometimes. But never fear--I have returned!

Please excuse the fact that this commentary is quite delayed, but I encounter confusion on this topic quite often since its occurrence. You're probably sitting there thinking "what the HECK is she TALKING ABOUT?! Get to the POINT already!" Well. It concerns the Green Lounge--previously named the Brown Lounge. When we were leaving for Christmas break, some of you may have noticed that the Brown Lounge suddenly became void of furniture, albeit that furniture was looking pretty old and well-sat-in (as opposed to well-worn). It was also blue. So the Brown Lounge had blue furniture, but then had none.

During the exam period, new furniture was slowly brought in ... nice leather couches, leather chairs, barista tables and chairs, etc. So I saw this new furniture and thought, "Well, that's nice! Those look comfy! It'll be a new hot spot!" And I was right. I used to only see a few stragglers sitting in the couches in the Brown Lounge (with the blue chairs), but now I wouldn't be able to find a seat 75% of the time that I go through there. However, I am slightly confused as to a naming decision.

The Brown Lounge with the blue chairs is now named the Green Lounge and has brown chairs ... does this defy anyone else's logic? It was re-named after Murray Green (click here for the information on Nipissing's website about the re-naming), but the whole colour change really makes me think every time I walk through there. Don't get me wrong, the furniture is nice; it just all seems so ironic! Brown with blue to Green with Brown ... and what are the chances that both surnames after which the lounges were named would be colours?!

Anyone have any comments of their own? Do you use the lounge a lot more? Were you even aware of the name change?

Also, final sidenote, we have now had hits from: America, Denmark, Malaysia, Germany, France, Russia, and Singapore! Interesting.
