We own a lot of books...seriously a lot. Most of them art art books meaning they are large and never bloody fit on a conventional book case. So since we took the bookcase out of the living room so we could have our other Ercol armchair in there instead we have been really short of space for all our books. I have been asking (nagging) Rich for months to make a built in floating shelf in the alcove over the tv, he finally manage to find some time in the week of New Year....
Rich got it finished last weekend then it needed painting, I wanted it the same white we painted the walls so it would blend in.
The paint finally dried enough to be able to put our books on it, so I spent an evening going through and editing our book collection. Only the favourites have made the cut!
I love a room with books in, it feels to naked without them! It feels so much more homely now!
