I never sold it off year after year because of moving, stuff being in storage and the three year age span and learning differences of our kids. Let me just say that I could still start my own library and that doesn't even include the four bookcases between my two kids rooms. (and now they are bringing home stuff from College! Uggghhh) I have even turned floor to ceiling shelves from our now mostly defunct quilt shop into book shelving and it still is overflowing. I would LOVE to be able to use my bookshelves so creatively but there just isn't enough shelves to go around! LOL!<br /><br />This is the main reason I bought a Nook from B&N, unless it has to be in hardcopy printed form I buy the ebook version. I have donated boxes of books to good will and the library, more than I can count and recently culled two, three foot stacks just from my cookbook collection!(A whole nother story, sorry for the pun) And still we have so many books, books, books. <br />I keep whittling away, as I just want it to become manageable, sigh...quiltfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572622685758650825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-63164604075498060422012-10-19T20:26:08.621-05:002012-10-19T20:26:08.621-05:00I have a big bookcase in my living room - thanks f...I have a big bookcase in my living room - thanks for the inspiration!

I have a specific question about what you do with books you are currently reading. My dilema is that there are always a few books that I am in the middle of reading that sort of need to be out of place in any given room. I'd like to still have a pretty looking "temporary home" for those books, so they are still at my fingertips. Do you have a favorite way, or could you suggest a couple of ideas for keeping those books "out" and yet still somewhat contained while they are waiting for me to finish them? Thank you!

Sadly, I only have one bookshelf that cramp up my love for books. Someday, I want to have this kind of setting. :))<br /><br />Nice decorating. Though I think it would be pretty nice to decorate the room with all the books you've pre-loved, instead of buying for the sake of decoration. Hehe, but I guess it can't be helped. You're a designer, and you need color coordination at least. But still, nice. :)))<br /><br />xoxo,<br />Riza of http://rzzzp.blogspot.com/Rizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135786395747191089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-11369332556032673742012-10-18T17:40:27.431-05:002012-10-18T17:40:27.431-05:00We are book lovers over here as well.
