We have this giant set of bookcases in our great room (see past post about those HERE). While I do love them and they nicely fill out our huge wall, they lacked, well, books. I have accessories and pictures and other things to fill the shelves, but really no books. Kinda embarrassing. You see most of the books I have are paperback or not bookcase-worthy. I have a few nicer, large "coffee table" type books, but not many. So when I was looking through a bookcase at my parents' house today, I asked my Dad if he cared if I filled up a couple bags of books. Of course he said "yes" so I went about sorting the types, sizes and colors I wanted to use in my bookcases and filled 2 paper bags. When I got home, I set about finding spots for them in my bookcases:
I am loving the yellow horse head above, by the way. It's this weird quirky thing that is sort of out of my comfort zone, but fun. I found him on clearance at Marshall's. I knew the hubby would give me his "look" when he saw him for the first time, but he's grown to love him. At least that's what I'm sayin'.
I still have some work to do on the bookcases, still have shelves to fill and re-arranging to do. I also am working on a strategic way to hide all of the electronic cords before I reveal the whole thing to you all. Soon I will be putting some hints of autumn in there...can't wait. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
