About the only part open was the housing area on the lake. Yes, we saw the white deer - many times! And our neighbor across the street shared some white deer venison with us a few times.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775836987596716063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-83990407228849528252008-07-29T12:25:00.000-04:002008-07-29T12:25:00.000-04:00Hey!

Great views and wonderful people!<BR/><BR/>I wish we could devote one room, or even one floor to our books. Instead they are in every room and both hallways. Most of our bookcase came from IKEA or Staples. A few were made by my father.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775836987596716063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-42749860661551015272008-07-28T14:31:00.000-04:002008-07-28T14:31:00.000-04:00Wow, there are some beautiful shelves out there!

The problem I have with some of the more creative approaches is that they seem to be more about the design than the books, and the reality is that we have a lot of books to handle. My husband keeps telling me that someday he's going to make beautiful shelves for our study (and make me get rid of my totally functional & necessary four-drawer metal filing cabinet), but for now, 2x4s and are what we've used to line our basement walls:<BR/><BR/>http://annos-place.blogspot.com/2006/07/books-summer-doldrums.htmlannohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102616203481686227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-4995544703292883072008-07-27T23:21:00.000-04:002008-07-27T23:21:00.000-04:00I love this post.

We loved our bookshelves from Dania furniture - but they stayed behind in our old house as they were too big for this one! But, as long as they are sturdy, I don't really care much what bookshelves look like!Marbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396985630486715494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-89791220177925277642008-07-27T20:35:00.000-04:002008-07-27T20:35:00.000-04:00What a great opportunity, to be able to put togeth...What a great opportunity, to be able to put together your own library like that. I like those shelves too. I am sure you will come up with something you will like. Growing up, my parents had shelves made of bricks and wooden boards--that was all we could afford. It wasn't the prettiest, but it did the job. I'm not sure my husband would go for that idea if I suggested it. Haha<BR/><BR/>I would like to read The Liar's Club. It's been on my wish list for awhile now.<BR/><BR/>I hope you have a great week and a wonderful vacation.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-18760852980786991782008-07-27T19:48:00.000-04:002008-07-27T19:48:00.000-04:00I love the concept of a whole library!

They're good shelves and quite attractive. <BR/><BR/>Have fun decorating your new space - and have a great vacation.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088825824646534586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-27639891244403330562008-07-27T15:40:00.000-04:002008-07-27T15:40:00.000-04:00I read "The Map of Love' when it first came out an...I read "The Map of Love' when it first came out and enjoyed it so much I've been meaning to look for other work by her ever since, but just not getting round to it.

It was my first attempt at making furniture from scratch, including measuring (which was screwy) and the drawing a design (it actually almost came out like the drawing). Gwen was overjoyed with the shelves and her whole room and doesn't car about it being off-kilter, so I guess that's all that matters.<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of a room of one's home being totally devoted to reading. My "dining room" is actually our library. :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
