Bookish Thoughts: Small Houses with Libraries

I love, love, love checking out other people’s home libraries, but sometimes it kind of makes me roll my eyes.  These people live in straight up mansions, of course they have libraries!  Today I was kind of looking for inspiration pictures from people who live in small houses or like us are still (gasp) apartment [...]

My Newest Addition! (Before & After)

So I’ve been busy outgrowing my shelves for a couple of months now.  Here is what they started as in June… but they were starting to look rough.  Books had taken over the top of the shelf then I started to double up on the bottom.

Not pretty.
My parents came up for the weekend and, of [...]

Bookish Thoughts: Dream Library

I don’t have much time tonight, but I just wanted to share an inspiration picture I’ve been drooling over!
My shelves are color coded and I’m outgrowing them quickly.
Check these out. This is my goal.
Dreamy, huh?

Bookish Thoughts: Hidden Door Bookshelf

I know I’ve posted about hidden door bookshelves before, but this just takes it to a new level.

I’m pretty much ok with still being an apartment dweller, but stuff like this makes me ready to get a house so I can [...]

Bookish Thoughts: Bookish Hide-out

I love this.  I would have loved this when I was a kid.  I would love this now. Ahhh-mazing.

Bookish Thoughts: Books Do Furnish A Room

This isn’t a book that I’d probably [...]

Bookish Thoughts: Coziest Home Library Ever

I would never get anything done. Ever.

Love this.  I don’t even like cats but I want to snuggle that one while I read.
Perfection.

Bookish Thoughts: Curved Shelves

So, maybe these aren’t entirely practical.  Some of the shelves are, after all, curved.  But I love them.  To me, the just scream Dr. Seuss.  Love it, love it, love it.
This is actually a whole line of furniture.  So frigging cool. Check them out here.

Bookish Thoughts: Built-In Bookshelves (again)

Let’s drool together.

If we ever have a TV again, this is how I want to do it.  A little one, surrounded by books.

I LOOOVE black shelves (I think that they make books “pop”) so these are totally drool inducing for me.

Bookish Thoughts: Book Stairs

I just stumbled across this picture online:

Amazing, right?
Does anyone know where this is? I want to touch it.
