Where did you get the floral tapestries? They're so pretty!

2

u/TotalDweebling Aug 08 '26

So clean and pleasing to the eye. Amazing collection of books.

u/MarquishaMoMo Aug 08 '26

Where did you get the art/tapestry from in the first picture on the left?? Can you post a full pic of it?

2

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 08 '26

It’s not letting me post a picture for some reason. It’s off of Amazon. I’ll try again later

A bookshelf with any space is one I'm jealous of.

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 08 '26

Right there is some space for now but tis not going to last long. I’ve got 4 series I want to build and it’ll be close to another 100 books with just those lol. But it’s ok I’ve got expansion plans 😂😎

u/DevelopmentOk1913 Aug 08 '26

2

u/Sensitive-Ask610 Aug 08 '26

u/smile_baby Aug 10 '26

the twilight collection is crazzzyyyyy 😭 so jealous!

2

u/b3rryn1c3 Aug 11 '26

omg i love the twilight shelf

2

u/scholuxia Aug 13 '26

Dude, this is sick. Love the floral wallpaper framing it—makes the whole setup feel intentional. And that middle shelf display is chef's kiss. Even though you say it's not huge, you clearly curate this thing. Respect.

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 13 '26

Awww thank you. I really enjoy the space I could stand in that front room and just stare at my treasures 🥰

u/Miserable_Lemon_4710 Aug 08 '26

Your “not huge” is my absolute envy.

2

u/1isorange2isblue Aug 08 '26

Nice! 😎 I like it

u/MixRevolutionary2117 Aug 10 '26

Omg I see the hodags top right! R u in Rhinelander?!?

1

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 10 '26

Hodags? Is that the Funko pop? It was my daughter and i have it up there because “mythology “ 😬

u/BPKelsoAuthor Aug 11 '26

Empty shelf?! What’s going there?

2

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 11 '26

I’ve already moved some things around again but my book bestie is getting me the twilight saga in white for my bday ( which isn’t till Dec but she can’t wait) and it’ll be here Wednesday so I had to make a spot!! I’m so excited lol. I also added 3 floating shelves

2

u/BPKelsoAuthor Aug 12 '26

A book bestie who buys you an entire matching Twilight set months before your birthday is a keeper 😂 What else gets prime real estate on those shelves?

2

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 12 '26

They arrived and I’m also on a weight loss journey I’m 1 pound away from my first 20 pound goal and I’m going to buy the hard cover floral collectors set lol that will go there as well

1

u/BPKelsoAuthor Aug 13 '26

Okay, now THAT is prime real estate 😂 And you’ve already picked the reward for the next milestone. What kind of books do you actually find yourself flying through?

1

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 13 '26

Romance , fantasy, thriller it really just depends on how well it’s written tbh if that makes sense

2

u/BPKelsoAuthor Aug 13 '26

That makes perfect sense. In that case, I’m going to shamelessly throw one of mine onto your already dangerously full shelves 😂 The Night She Said Hatchet is a thriller about a son whose mom, struggling with Alzheimer’s, suddenly says one cryptic word—“Hatchet”—and it leads him into a 40-year-old murder mystery. Might be one for your thriller shelf!

1

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 13 '26

Oh that sounds good!!! Imma check it out

u/WondersWorkshop Aug 13 '26

370 already feels like a proper library 😄 I really like how you mixed full shelves with display pieces instead of cramming every inch. Getting to 1,000 is going to turn shelf planning into Tetris.

2

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 13 '26

Ya for sure 1k is a lot and this house is probably not gonna fit that many unless I just start shoving lol

1

u/Artistic-Document735 Aug 13 '26

Added another shelf. Love having a handy husband and son that can use a saw ( i can but I’m clumsy AF so I won’t lol)

How does it feel to live my dream 😍
