I love the idea of this, I’ve always wanted a library with a spiral staircase right in the middle with a huge wooden desk filled with blank pages just waiting to be inked.

I’m slowly putting a list of all my books online. I’m optimistic that this will help me next year, when I’ll have to sell a chunk of my library. So far, pretty slow, but so good.

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! 17 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... 17 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!
