I’m all out of shelf space. What to do?!
For me, having incredible difficulty in looking for much-coveted titles only to find them eventually (better if there’s only one copy left) is part of the whole book shopping experience that I really love. I enjoy the challenge of having to look for rare titles in local bookstores, but also feel somewhat triumphant upon clicking that “Add to cart” button when I’m feeling too eager or desperate already. Then, there’s also the excitement that builds up inside of me whenever a sealed brown box arrives at our doorstep — more books! Before I start on a new book, I always smell the pages first, looking for the familiar scent of print on paper. It’s kind of euphoric. Silly? Maybe. But it’s fun nonetheless.
“A lean, light-filled house house in San Francisco provides a thoughtful backdrop for an art collection. In the living room, which is at the front of the house, sliding glass doors open to blur the distinction between the interior and the park outside.”

“The books on the shelves I’ve read and the ones stacked beneath the antelope are yet to be read. I can’t bring myself to get rid of books, even if I doubt I’ll read them again. I just like looking at their spines.”

love this!
The colors and the abundance of light makes this a very ideal workspace/home library for me.
My books have been forced to relocate while my mom waits for our new shelf. Most of our books have been placed in my brother’s old room (the old ones, mostly).
It must be noted though that I hate this particular set-up because 1) this is my bay window and the bay window overlooks a farm which leads me to 2) I don’t like going near my bay window at night because a farm, at night, without any light, meaning extremely dark, is scary and lastly, 3) in short, I am scared of my bay window at night.
I can’t wait to get real, actual shelves. The shelves in the family room’s full of DVDs and travel books already. :|
