Show us yer shelfies!

It's not a perfect system...

 

[hash tag]

No, but effective and pretty. A statement. It does offend my sense of ocd as well

 

[hash tag]

We have a senior figure from the library world staying over at the moment. I mentioned it was a suggestion that we
put our books in colour order. To say he was offended was an under statement.

PS Mrs Tag is also a librarian, of sorts!

Here are my shelves: originally colour coded but I need to tidy up soon

No, but it is a thing of beauty

I should probably point out that the other side of the room (whole wall) is wallpaper, just in case you have all bought into my dream that I live in a library

Sitting room. Right mess at the mo. Really, really need to sort it out

At least its a rational organizational plan. Most people just shove books into anywhere they'll fit.

Something like this would be ideal (although not sure about the weird brown ceiling).

From here - Snake Ranch

It reminds me of the library at the Sheldon Museum of Art. It's smaller, but the theme is similar:

I once suggested to the director of the museum that if I ever won the lottery, I would buy the building and go live in it. He was not amused.

Here's the exterior:

Here's the main entrance:

It would make a nice summer home, but I would want something bigger for my main house.

The walls are full

Stuff I'm currently reading / library books usually go here but it's pretty empty atm (self-banned from the library till I get through the rest of my to-read list)

Love books but I can't imagine ever staying in one place long enough to build up a massive, wall-consuming collection like some kind of proper grownup with a mortgage and a decade's worth of knick-knacks

We've only just recently got appropriate furniture to put books on or in. They've been kept in boxes since moving. It's work in progress with just one box emptied/one shelf filled at the moment.

Ikea's finest in our spare room, which is predominantly for Mrs Tags novels. My son nearly wet himself when I told him I put them altogether by myself

 

[friedaweed]

This is the birdy bookshelf



and this is the dirty-book bedroom bookshelf with her dirty books on it



Both all me own work from reclaimed oak plus a couple of Ikea metal box cupboards where we keep the real filthy stuff.

^^^ those books on the shelf at a jaunty angle underneath the clock ^^^

Yeah that's how the wood was when I dragged it out of an old house. It's 300 year old oak and originally I set it up with the idea of cutting the end off but then I treated myself to a good set of chisels and made the keyed mortise and tenon joint on the end of it so I could have a wonky end. I'd always wanted to have a go at making that wood joint and the oak was perfect for it. Well I say perfect, it took me fucking ages to make if fit. All my shelves are wonky.



This is me Whisky Shelf in the shed.

I like my shoebox of a home thank you very much. It just needs a few Dulevo porcelain figurines and a Lenin portrait.
