Description
The first class Drawing Room (ladies' lounge) for my ship. In the days of yore, all ships had separate alternate-lounges for men and women, the men having their Smoking Room (where they would discuss business and politics while smoking cigars), and the women having a Drawing Room or Reading & Writing Room (the only difference was what you called it), where women would...you know, I don't even know what they did there. I assume they would write letters or read a book or knit, or something. Separate lounges weren't disposed of until after WWII, when shipowners actually realized that the smoking lounge was no longer the preserve of men only (women had been infiltrating such smoking lounges since the 1920s, with the "modern woman" wearing flapper outfits, smoking, and just generally causing a ruckus among the stuffy elites), so a separate alternate-lounge was no longer necessary.
I say alternate-lounge, because these were all public spaces available to the passengers in addition to the main lounge, a much larger space and open to anyone and everyone. Variety makes for a happy clientele, you know.
Textures from a multitude of sources, none of which I remember (I never remember the sources). Chairs and couches are models designed by others, and everything else is designed and made by me, including the funny little round tables (which are padded cloth on the sides, by the way. protects the knees if you accidentally knock them against the tables as you sit down)
The real-life room I based my Drawing Room after is the Queen Mary's first class Drawing Room [link] , though mine is much smaller, and very differently decorated.
By the way, those barber pole-style lights were a common motive in art deco design.

I really love how my room came out, decoration-wise. I was lucky enough to find such great textures as I did, and the room just glows with richness.

Wait, I just remembered a method of finding the sources for images. *rummages around online*

Okay, here we go
textures:

[link] [link] (this one was tweaked into the khaki wood color you see on the walls)

and models:

I recolored both the chairs (wooden frames) and the couches (colored them same color as chairs). Coloring furniture is easy, creating furniture is not.

And that Mr. Dredge man there in the corner, for scale.
