Reader request - bookshelves
Sigrid from Norway emailed with a reader request that I thought I'd tackle today, because it's an easy one. :) "I love library and rooms and walls full with bookshelves. I would be honoured if you could post some pictures of rooms and walls full with bookshelves." I would give anything to have a library, a room filled with floor to ceiling bookcases to fill with my ever-growing collection of shelter mags and books. I love to see how people cope with their own book and mag collections. Here are some rooms where large collections are easily stored away.

Bookshelves make a room. I used Ikea industrial style Broder shelves to build my library.
I need some books...send me some.
Love. Love. Love.
I love them all! My husband actually found this and sent it to me - we are eager to creat a space like this in our home and are slowly starting with one large IKEA Expedit shelving system.
These images make me happy.

Hi, there, 'really great pictures. I was musing about books in a recent blog post, so linked out to your pictures. Nice work! -- Dave
ooo look at all those books!! *grabby hands*
Sweet images! I want a library in my home. :)
When I settle down in my own home I will build shelves like this. I can't right now, which makes me sad. One day, though, one day...
I love bookshelves. I have always thought someday I would love a room given over fully to my library. That was what made Disney's Beauty and The Beast work so well for me, that when he wanted to give Belle something that would bowl her over, the beast knew to show her the library.
Thanks for all the photos, the books are lovely.
I like this post and it has shown me some sort of desire to have success for some reason, so thank you.
Okay, you inspired me. Seeing all those books made my heart beat a little faster.
beautiful picture I like this
wow~thanx for your share ! I had got more ! I can deal with all of my books .
Really inspiring photographs. I love all of them.
Очень плохо, все полки открыты. Книги должны храниться под стеклом.
There's more books in those bookshelves then you could read in your lifetime.
Hus and Hem is too cute
