Gung Hay Fat Choy On the bookshelves (or books I want on my shelves)
Jan 28

Check out these wonderfully creative bookshelves that I found on the Better Homes and Gardens website. Doesn’t it make you want to buy more books just to fill up these cool shelves?

    I love the bedroom idea. I don’t have any bookshelves in there and there is plenty of room for them. I may have to do this.

                        I love seeing photos like this. That will never be my house or my books but it all looks so lovely…

                            Those shelves are cool. I like the ones in the bedroom the best.

                              I am seriously lusting after those shelves!

                              I ran across this site a while back that you might enjoy (if you haven’t already seen it.. I’m sometimes behind the times:)). It’s a woman’s blog who requested that people send in pics of their home libraries from all over the world. It’s so much fun to look at.

                                Oh, those are beautiful…

                                The sad thing is that I wouldn’t have to purchase any – or many – books to fill them up, I have enough in stacks on the floor of my room and in stacks in storage in the basement.

                                  Okay, I’m ready to move and find a house with a cool wall of shelves too. Oh, the possibilities!

                                    Actually, it just makes me want to buy a house with more space and light! I have plenty of books to fill out the shelves.

                                      I love the second and third photos…what fantastic ideas. I wish I lived in a home to try them out in…the apartment is not really a place to start constructing things….lol

                                        Oh I can only dream! Not the first one though, at least not while we’re in earthquake country. ;)

                                            Oh how funny, I had the very same thought as tanabata- I wouldn’t want hundreds of books above my head while sleeping in earthquake country! But they sure are beautiful.

                                              I would love any of the three types of shelving! It’s my dream to one day have a true library room in my house complete with a large antique globe and a fireplace.
