I built it myself with major help from my sister. Actually, it should be the other way around - she built it with major help from me. There are books on every wall - from floor to ceiling. I had to buy a little step ladder to reach the highest ones. I have a stero system in it to listen to music and a nice comfie book chair. Now I'm working on decorating the tops of the shelves - until I cover them with books too.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-1161134014409795662006-10-17T22:13:00.000-03:002006-10-17T22:13:00.000-03:00I just found you through A High and Hidden Place. ...I just found you through A High and Hidden Place.

Actually, now that I think about it . . . add glass doors to those shelves and that will eliminate half the dust. LOL <BR/><BR/>We actually looked at a house with a sunken room that was used as a library. It looked very turn-of-the-century upper-class - glass doors on all the bookshelves with criss-cross leading and hardwood floors. Gorgeous solid wood and trim everywhere. It was awesome, but the house itself was kind of scary, with exposed wiring hanging out of some of the switches. It actually had a ballroom and was probably 4000 square feet with the attic but no way could we have afforded to fix everything! And, I was sure it was haunted, after I looked at that half-finished attic with peeling, yellowed wallpaper that looked 100 years old. It gave me the creeps.<BR/><BR/>But, wow, that library . . .<BR/><BR/>Great post, Kailana!!!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-1161129862006743672006-10-17T21:04:00.000-03:002006-10-17T21:04:00.000-03:00Hi Kailana!

I would make a few changes to it, though, which I will post about momentarily.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-1161109034399832552006-10-17T15:17:00.000-03:002006-10-17T15:17:00.000-03:00Have you seen Beauty and the Beast?

I'll add in the fireplace and the large wood table with loads of pretty stationary to take notes on the books I'm reading. I also need a daybed of some kind to stretch out on to read.

Then the fourth wall would be all glass looking over a garden with roses and lots of green grass. It would have really plush white carpet and then one chair that you can curl up in and with a small side table to put my teacup and pot of tea. I may put a small radio but NO TELEPHONE. I would then fill it with every book I could ever want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
