New Bookshelves Pics

Mar 12, 2012 by Kt Clapsadl

My grandparents are redisigning their living room, and they had asked if I would like their hutch cabinet. Of course I jumped at the chance because I love having my books in these types of shelves, and quite frankly, I had run out of room on my other cabinet and shelf. On my Monday wrap-up posts, I had been promising pics, so here they finally are. (Note that this does not include my pile of review copies that are waiting to be read. Those are sitting on my end table in an extremely tall teetering stack.)

Shelf #1 holds all my adult books:

Here's a closer look of shelf #1:

Bookshelf #3 holds the remaining YA books:
(Also, the shelf with the most open room, but somehow I doubt that will last.)

 
Tada! :)

(My Bookshelf circa 8/2011- can you see how much things have changed?)

Your bookshelves are very organized and I really like how you fixed it. The books are very easy to find and it really is very neat and clean.

Arranging them is a quite therapeutic stress reliever for me. :)
Thank you! My dream is to have a room with built in floor to ceiling shelves and a chase lounge. I'd love to have a personal library.
That is super beautiful :) My goal is to get real shelves right now they are from Target but I have my eye on an IKEA Shelving system I really want :)
Whoa! Those look awesome! So many books! :-)
I love on how you arrange the books! Its very nice.
oh my gosh that is AMAZING!!!
OMG!! I loooove it! I just have simple ones in my room! Our house is kinda small and I don't have much room for any more! I need another one though because I'm running out of room! Had to take to stacking some on my top closet shelf but even that's getting full!

I understand the small house. That room is actually our dining room, and we had to take down our table to make room for my shelves and the hubby's gun cabinets. lol We have a small nook type table in our kitchen to eat at.
So pretty! I need more bookcases. The ones I have are already overflowing and some books have (sadly) gone into boxes so I can't look at them.

Isn't it horrible to have to hide books? Before I got the latest cabinet I had stacks of books sitting everywhere. My hubby was getting fussy about putting them away.
Wow! That is some gorgeous organization! :)

Thank you. Half the fun is rearranging them when I get a new book. ;)
It is a slow process to collect all of these, and I really only buy books that are on super sale. Most are bargain books, or very early pre-orders so the books are much cheaper. Also, getting review copies helps a good bit.
it is very interesting post. thank you form sharing it.
There are many companies out there which are willing spend a lot of money on these types of projects. I am really interested to know about the ethics of the investors in such projects.
