I enjoyed seeing your before and after bookshelf photos. I have bookcases in most rooms of my home, and having built-ins has been the determining factor (really!) when buying a house. In fact, different types of books are in different rooms and locations on the shelves. And, I'm sorry to say I still have boxes of books and not enough room. I've culled through my collection every time I've moved, but I still can't imagine a home without books. One of these days I'd like to have a library room like the one at Biltmore in Asheville, NC!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661315464602739489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640155338815792772.post-41624574295851827162012-07-17T18:27:16.809-07:002012-07-17T18:27:16.809-07:00Your bookshelves look great!

Might help if I didn't keep bringing more home. ;-) You will love Snow Flower and the Secret Fan - one of my faves. On January 1st, I thought I'd set a goal of reading 50 books this year, but oh, how I'm laughing at that goal now!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640155338815792772.post-82973501043404513152012-07-17T09:30:57.770-07:002012-07-17T09:30:57.770-07:00Very nice Heidi!

I just read non stop. lol. I have my nook in my hand all the time and yesterday I actually bought a book at Walmart. I bought Catherine Coulter's Split Second and read almost all of it yesterday, Only a few pages more to go. I have a very hard time putting her books down once I start them.<br />I love the new (librayish) look. Hahaha. I know, that is not a word. It looks way less crowded now. Love it. Good work Miss Heidi.<br />Happy reading now.<br />Love you, MomNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094109205059653539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640155338815792772.post-46599382985727325862012-07-16T07:53:44.587-07:002012-07-16T07:53:44.587-07:00The new look in wonderful!

So happy you remembered to take 'before.' Not everyone does. But you were sending it, to get suggestions. :-)<br /><br />Yes we have library shelves in the Den, which my husband built a long time ago. And sorry to say, they are not as neat as yours! -sigh-<br /><br />But I don't buy books anymore. At this aged, we try to get rid of clutter, and not add to it. I LOVE my Library System!!!!!! And use it, all the time. :-)<br /><br />At present, I'm on a lovely roll of Mary Stewart books. Delicious. Delightful. I love reading. :-)<br /><br />Gentle hugs,<br />"Auntie"Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640155338815792772.post-89637733732667965622012-07-16T06:06:26.981-07:002012-07-16T06:06:26.981-07:00Volgens mij had je gewoon een smoes nodig om nog m...Volgens mij had je gewoon een smoes nodig om nog meer boeken kwijt te kunnen.LOL!<br />Maar het is waar: het is overzichterlijker geworden.

My husband and I spent over two years slowly downsizing our book collection. We now have just what we love and buy only what is on our list, of needed books. Due to the amount we read and pay (not really as we buy used), many friends have suggested the electronic books. You have to power those babies, but not a paper book. We can take them anywhere without worries for power.<br /><br />blessings, jillyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640155338815792772.post-22073687530037541002012-07-15T15:26:43.489-07:002012-07-15T15:26:43.489-07:00I don't collect books at all.

I don't have a nice place for books, just a few different shelving units scattered about the house. I have too much junkie stuff. You are an inspiration, and I'm glad you put the quilts on there.

I did a lot of stacking and accesories at one time and felt it looked too messy so I went back to just putting them in the usual way. I do have a bookcase in the living room that has accessories in it and my bedroom bookcases have some but most of my bookcases are just books. I like the way yours looks though so I may re-evaluate.
