I just stumbled across this picture online:
Amazing, right?
Does anyone know where this is? I want to touch it.
We’re moving to a new apartment in a couple of weeks. We have some furniture that is too ugly or too annoying to bother moving so we’re starting fresh in some areas. One of those is my bookshelf situation. Suffice to say that it is sad and annoying.
I was Googling today for some inspiration of [...]
My husband is a big time bathroom reader. I think it’s hilarious and very “old man” of him.
The problem is this: we have a small bathroom and we haven’t found a storage solution for bathroom books and magazines. As it is, they are piled on the back of the toilet and they drive me nuts. [...]
I was looking at the website today for Strand. They are this giant bookstore in NYC and for whatever reason, I was browsing their website.
I came across this: Books by the Foot.
It’s so if you’re “building a library,” you can buy just random books by the foot.
If you want to look ultra fancy, you can [...]
I think that my little guy is going to need this in his room at some point:
Isn’t that darling? I’m in love.
But if he’s a serious reader, we may need something more like this:
I’ve made fun of Shaun all along as using the baby as an excuse to buy cool stuff, but I may just [...]

Today, I stumbled across this and [...]

This would be an absolute dream come true:
I just picture opening this and it leading to our cozy little library room. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
There are directions on Instructables about how to DIY this. Five easy steps and all this can be yours.
I don’t think that our landlords are going to be pleased….

I feel like I remember seeing this awhile back, but just recently stumbled upon it again.
My first thought is: What?! All the books will get wet. Then I remember that my husband has a towering stack of books in the bathroom anyway, just much more precariously placed than they would be here. I also am [...]

Are these not amazing?
They are frames. They are shelves. They are beautiful.
I organize my books by color, so I can just picture a green frame, a red frame, a blue frame and so on. Amazing.
They are kind of pricey, but I’m pretty crafty. These can’t be that hard to make.
Now my little creative juices are [...]

Built-in bookshelves make me drool.
We’ve been tentatively house shopping for the last couple of months, and nothing gets me excited faster than some built-ins.
I need this in my life.
Here’s the link to the dude’s flickr who gets to sit in this room and read. So jealous!
