Books and their homes....

[BerlinRocks]

^liking the shelves ...

but not feeling the decoration ... there's a bit of this and that ... nothing is coherent ... and non-coherence is badly executed there ...

* too bad coz the rest of the house is good ! *

 

[liynn]

BerlinRocks: Yeah, I agreed. I like a little bit of this & that, & that's well executed in the other rooms, but this one is a liittle bit over the top.
Although the shelves are neat 'cause they're so tall. Would've been neater if they were all black, though.

What about magazines? Has anybody seen any interesting homes for magazines? They seem infinitely harder to store since they don't have solid covers, unless you put them in those silly boxes.

^there's a thread in the Magazine thread Dpt. ...

and there used to be a thread for "how do you store, take care (or something) of your magazines" ... but i cannot find it ...

It's not a bookshelf, but I think the Kansas City library is pretty cool:
