This weekend, I turned the living room into a library. Does anyone really need a living room these days? I LOVE the change - the bookcases are not as deep as the bench that was there before so it actually makes the room seem larger.
The bookcases are from IKEA (Billy) and they hold almost all of the kids chapter books. The top shelf all the way across holds regular chapter books and then the rest of the space is taken up with chapter books in a series. On the wall to the left of these bookcases is the piano with two more bookcases on either side. I need to find a mirror for over the piano and yes, I do have a thing for globes. You can find gloves around here for $2 or less at yard sales so last summer I stocked up.
I love the globes..very creative.

ReplyDeleteI love the globes!! The bookcases too, but especially the globes! You are making me reconsider wall-mounted shelves for my craft room...maybe Billy shelves would be a better plan. Definitely less work!!
ReplyDeleteYour house is sooo cute. I really need help with mine. I wish you were visiting St. George while you were traveling.
ReplyDeleteHey, nice site you have here! Keep up the excellent work!
