Yes, the shelving projects are nowhere near done. That far wall around the windows? Going to be full of bookshelves. The other side of the archway is about a third done, and the wall behind the couch will eventually get a set of display shelves, most with plexiglass doors. That was going to be an Ikea hack and may still be, though they discontinued my first choice. For some of us, it takes years to really "move in" to a new home.
Where did you get a picture of my house?!! Oh, wait, some details are slightly different. But only slightly.
ReplyDeleteType writer center foreground?
ReplyDeleteEver considered selling Roseholme and moving into an old library building? Might even come with shelves....
ReplyDeleteA friend with the same condition once considered turning a bedroom into automated book storage a la mainframe tape silos. The tech of the day wouldn't quite do it, but I'd guess these days there's something that would work; Og would know.
BOOKS AND CATS BY THE KILOTON YOU SEEM TO HAVE COPIED MY DESIGN ITS RATHER WONDERFUL SAVE FOR A BOOK SHELVE SHORTAGE WE HAVE THE SAME LOGISTICAL CHALLENGE ENJOY !
ReplyDeleteYes, NJT, a typewriter. There are...a few.... ;)
ReplyDeleteAlien: Move to a library, turn the house into one...
Douglas2: the biblioafflicted tend to build similar homes, perhaps?

ReplyDelete26 years in mine this Saturday and I still feel like I'm just camping here.
15 years in what was supposed to be our 5 year starter home. Still not settled. Your clutter is tame.

ReplyDeleteLooks sorta like my place. Only neater, no cats and no rewiring going on.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is that black object in the upper right hand corner? Have you acquired a third cat?
I hope Montag and his colleagues at the firehouse are not watching!
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, is that typewriter a Remington Portable? It looks familiar...
ReplyDeleteAh... all the books! And cats! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou make me feel so much better. I have only one room completely overrun with books and CDs like that. Although there are satellite piles in every other room.
ReplyDeleteQuestion. How do you keep track of where each book is, especially the ones unshelved?
I just know. Mostly. :)
ReplyDeleteMy wife took one look at that picture, looked at me with those big blue eyes, and said, "I'll shut up." :-)
ReplyDeleteHuck is all "Set phasers on overload."
ReplyDeleteThat looks like heaven, so long as the coffee runs hot and fresh and I'm left alone to read until my eyes burn.
ReplyDeleteFuzzy: I've always thought of myself as something of a Warning Example.
ReplyDeleteKen: He's good with that.
DaddyBear: as long as you don't count that attentions of cats against "left alone to read," you've got it.
