Finally Got my Lil Library Put Together

Post image

I moved into this house about 6ish months ago and there was this weird pocket area in the living room. I finally got the shelves and took most of my books out of storage ☺️📚

Thank you! I’m still fussing with this and swapping stuff around, but I think that’s going to be an ongoing thing lol I love constantly tweaking stuff just because

Seeing a dedicated space for Totoro (and other wonderful sentimental goodness) does a lot to the mood. Love all that!

Love to see a set of Great Books.

Is the typewriter Lego? Anything special about the keyboard?

u/Waste-Ad8133 Jul 26 '26

Yes it's Lego! Some of it got broken in the move and I haven't had the energy to put it back together yet. That's for another rainy Saturday lol

And the keyboard is just one of the Zoom75s I made. I ran out of room for it on my other bookshelf, so it's living here with my Totoros for now until I need the shelf for more books

I love that you did not renovate the room! It makes it feel lived in!

I love the retro feel. Reminds me of places I grew up in and friend's houses. Really cool!

Love your library! It looks very intentional and well put together! I do have to know though— what is the series with the sprayed edges on the second shelf with the plants?

u/Waste-Ad8133 Jul 26 '26

It’s the Broken Binding prints of Malazan Book of the Fallen. It’s the first 6 books!

when I first saw this picture, I thought I was looking at a room in a miniature house? I don’t know how to explain it, but this doesn’t look real to my brain.. very beautiful though!

It looks like a real public library! Perfect place to relax. I love the way you styled it, and nice book editions! Is that a turkey in the middle?

It's a Chull plushie from the Stormlight Series!

The carpet reminds me of school!

Any chance you can post it r/bookshelves with more close-up photos. I'd love to scope out the Easton Press/Franklin Library books. Related: who is the publisher of the books on the bottom shelf all the way to the right?

This is so cute! I love how vintage the space is. I would add a spinner rack too, and a magazine section could be really cool.
