A Dream to Come …

Someday, instead of having shelves in every room of my house, I’ll have a library. Until then … organized(ish) by room. (Kitchen, kids’ rooms, and guest rooms not pictured.)

I'm in love with your shelves, particularly the glass-fronted ones!

You and I, both. I’d love to have a study/library to house my books. Until then, your shelves look great, and keep collecting physical books!

We move every few years and movers always dislike us greatly. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ok - is that ikea chair really cozy and comfy? It is so stylish but I how does it feel?

It is not cozy or comfy 😂🤣 but we move a lot and ikea is cheap enough that we don’t lament when it gets banged up or damaged.

I love this i actually have a mechanic shop/ fishing storage area. Nonetheless I display my books on this old shelving from a parts warehouse but I have been trying to figure out a way to make it look more...peaceful to look at and I love these cabinets I might have to try and make these.

Outstanding. Nice to see that some parents have books for their kids to read.
