Now that my book collection is officially overflowing from the shelves, here are some useful tips for decorating and organising your office/library space.

Friday Fun: Home Offices, Home Libraries
At the risk of misquoting, I fall into the category of those who will definitely need a bigger house! (Plus, I’ve always been v taken with those bookshelf ladders…)
The last one makes my legs feel wobbly!
Love them all!
I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed that tall house! 🙂
Me too!!!
Having just had a tidy up in my office, I’m left wishing it looked like number one in your selection of pics. If only it looked as inviting as that!
Which reminds me, I need to start tidying up too at some point… even if the end result is never going to look like that!
I’ve gone E-book whenever possible… I carry them all where ever I go!
Practical but boring… That’s what my husband was hoping I might switch to, but it didn’t work. I just use both!
I know…the feeling ofan E-book is just not the same.
My worst habit is I ‘throw out a book’ in a whirlwind of Spring cleaning. E-books just hover in my ‘cloud’ !
I think I’d find reflections unsettling, but I love the others. The tall house has to be my favourite, not least because I’ve always aspired to a library ladder.
Oh, my, Marina Sofia! These are all fantastic!! I just love ’em! I would love that one from aestate. with that beautiful window. I’ll just have to stay out of sight, all curled up and reading… 😉
My partner’s fear is the last one and actually it does make me feel slightly ill so maybe I’m making progress! Recently I went to a super-cool new bookshop which has opened just off Brick Lane and I was feeling too ‘in every way challenged’ to be in such a cool space and also I couldn’t work out how the shop was set up and then I almost knocked myself unconscious by walking into the back wall which was in fact a mirror. So reflective glass is the enemy as far as I’m concerned! I very much like the phrase the colours of nostalgia by the way.
You wouldn’t want to be afraid of heights to have that last one – you would never read those upper books! I wouldn’t have that problem, but I do also like the idea of the one that can be hidden away. 🙂
I’d need to love a book very much indeed to be willing to go up that ladder! I think I’d opt for long and low bookshelves – though the nostalgia one might do, if I could have an extension built at the back…
How can anyone resist a bookcase! I’m always astounded by people who haven’t got one in their house…
I’ve given up trying to organise
Brilliant – I think I need the shed option – I’ve just been to a book sale so I’m in trouble again for buying yet more books!
