Books and their homes....

[misspistol]

^ Me too. I forget the quote but it's something along the lines of 'A room without books is like a body without a soul'. I couldn't live without actually hard copies of books. There's something so warm and inviting about a shelf filled with books.

I can just stay at home for years and read those books!

 

[LeBonChic]

I can live in those rooms forever .

 

[supertrooper]

Fabulous!

I recently re-did my room, and I wanted to show you all what I did with my books! I turned my bookshelf on it's side

 

[misspistol]

That's a really great idea! ^

^ It reminds of the library in Beauty & The Beast.
Oh man, imagine if there was an earthquake and the books fell off the shelves. Everything would be a mess and the library would have a mini-earthquake of its own...
LOL why do I always imagine the worst?

^^that library looks terrifying and yet super cool

 

[Toccata]

I took the door off my spare closet, added three shelves for my fave books,
a desk, and a little ledge for my iPad. It's like my new little study-hut.

This wall might begin to hold all my books

Love this thread! Some of those bookshelves are very cool! I want I want!

I own 400 plus books and they shelved on 3 bookcases. There is also a pile of books beside my bed as well. And books piled on the nightstand that I am actually reading. (Strangely, I never seem to read the books piled beside my bed. When I finish a book, I pull something from the shelf, not from the pile, but I have to have the pile there. Just in case I feel inspired to read something from it.) (Of course, I periodically change up the pile too.)

Oh I love the fireplace. When I get a library I'm going to make sure it has a fireplace.
