Are all your bookshelves in one place, or are they spread throughout your house/room? These are my three main shelves, but I have my TBR one on the other side of the room. I’d love to eventually have enough space to put them all in a row for better continuity. Especially since I’ll need to do a bit of rearranging in a few months to make way for all the books I’m ticking off my TBR! Not mad about it.

It’s…Artifact Friday! Featuring a recently emptied bookcase beside one of our archivist’s desk. We guarantee will be filled with archival boxes within an hour after taking this photo!
I am building a big ol’ built in bookcase and window seat in my living room.
I used those some of those same salvaged corbels on my front porch, and will use another in my kitchen remodel.
The window looks out on to a screened front porch that I used a lot when I first moved here, and not at all in the last couple of years. There’s a counter and tall stools along the front edge of the porch, and my mom and I used to eat lunch out there on Saturdays when she came over to garden with me. I miss that, and her, a lot.
The bookcase has been slow going because my ancient house is SO CROOKED. The floor slopes from left to right, and actually ripples/rolls forward. The walls are not plumb, and the ceiling is almost two inches higher on the left side of the room. It’s what I get for years of staunchly promoting asymmetry in design.
So I have to start with level, and then eyeball everything from different vantage points, because if I built it prefectly level (as if I could) it would look like a crooked junk heap in the context of the room, and I would always feel like I had to defend it.
But someday, I will sit on that window seat, on a lovely velveteen cushion, and read a book and gaze out the window and chastise myself for not using the front porch more. And I will empty out my entry closet which is packed floor to ceiling with boxes of all my books, which I also miss.
“An “angel” is anything that carries out a mission for God. This includes forces of nature. […] Photosynthesis? That’s an angel. Gravity? An angel. Magnetism? Angel. The Midrash in Bereishis Rabbah (chapter 1) says than an angel only performs one job. That job doesn’t have to be destroying Sodom; it could be peristalsis, centripetal force or condensation.”
