So one of the reasons I’ve been so quiet over the past few days (apart from still being very busy at work) can now be revealed – the bookshelves I commissioned in May have finally been installed and I’ve been beavering away moving piles of books from the floor, the top of radiator covers, and lots of other places to their new home.
Apart from the fact that they look great (apologies for the poor quality photograph which really doesn’t do them justice) the whole experience has been really liberating. I can move around the house now without tripping over things, I can find my DVDs more easily (over on the far right in case you wonder) and I’ve come across some great books that I forgot I had.
I’m now inspired to try to catch up with my tbr pile now that so much more of it is easily to hand.

Oh, they are beautiful! And we did much the same thing in June, but I didn’t buy enough shelves – I need one more – so it’s still not quite organized. I love you saying you could stop tripping over them and find them! It was much the same way at our house! Isn’t it grand to have wonderful bookshelves like that in our own homes??? I’m so happy! And you sound it too 🙂

Was googling “bookshelves” for my room in our new apartment and came across your pic. I am stealing half the idea for one of my walls 😉 Thanks
