How to have a library in my house by Dizziwish

"books books books"

How I did it: We own alot of books so in the plans for the new house we dicided one room would be the library, we got it made by local craftsmen, who have since informed me that they built it with a 'they're never going to fill all these shelves' theory...wrong, we have to many books.:)

Lessons & tips: TRy try try to get oranisation into it, we started but by the end of it it became more about having space to put the books somehwere than actually putting them in order.

It took me
1 year
It made me
completely happy!

How I did it: I started spending the "changes" of my salary with used books, until the day I found a website on the net with a lots of used books in great conditions for impressive prices, then I started buying books and here I am: I have my own libray in my own room! The shelves of it are already full of books, and I have more books all around my bedroom... it's almost a mess. I just wish I had time to read them all... Read how I did it…

    Library 3 months ago

    That would be wonderful! I love the look of built in bookcases, but a whole room would be amazing. With a walkway on the second level and a sliding ladder. I think I’ve seen in-home libraries like that in movies and I can’t get the idea out of my head.

    It is fun to have a library! 13 months ago

    I had a library of over 1,000 books! They were all arranged (most were textbooks I’d gathered, because I wanted to start a school).

    It was very much worth it until I had to pack them all and move! Unless you have someone to take care of them, a place to donate them to, you are old enough to have them in a more static place, or it is a collective effort, it is a space/time liability.

    But it was very nice to have for a while.

    My library when I get it... 13 months ago

    ...will be floor to ceiling book shelves, except for the gap for the windown overlooking the garden and the fireplace. It will have to have at least one spooky taxidermied animal (ideally an morepork) lurking in a corner, and the badly damaged art deco leather sofa and chairs that have lived in the shed for the last 3 years which my husband will have fixed up finally by then. I will never dust it and it will be perfect!

    only the books 13 months ago

    I would like to purchase enough bookshelves to house all my books; I have over 200. I only know that I have more than 200 because I have reached the limit on librarything.com. (missshey) I am trying to give some away on bookmooch as well. So for now I have only the books.
