angelofboox Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Many more than the bookshelves I pictured! We have four toilets...but the house originally came with one! Five of us live here (at the moment) so we're not outnumbered... My dad sort of...likes to take things into his own hands. He built the corridor one for us to house our overflowing books (it has 7 shelves about 2m long and goes almost from floor to ceiling) but we still had more than could fit! He put a toilet in the bathroom (they were separate when we moved in), a toilet downstairs and one in the attic (where he did a loft conversion now comprising my sister's room and an en-suite).... Think it might be time to build another wall worth of bookshelf though! Quote
Karen1 Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I love seeing pictures of everyone's bookcases. I personally don't have a proper bookcase. My books are kept all over the place. I have a couple of basket stand things in the bottom of my wardrobe full of books, I also have piles sitting in the corners of my room, piled up on the desk and in every other single spare space I can find.

Guest ii Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I think this is not the moment to tell that I arrange my books by color... as well as my DVD's... Quote
Michelle Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 beef.. your room looks incredibly messy!! Quote
beef Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 beef.. your room looks incredibly messy!! Its actually quite tidy at the moment =-o It's just incredibly cluttered. Quote
Kell Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Have just realised one of my bookcases is in the picture behind me in my 34-wek bump pic, so here it is (please excuse the headless preggo lass with puffy ankles marring the view!): Quote

happyanddandy Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 no wonder you can't sleep!!! My bumps were as big as that and I couldn't sleep either in late pregnancy - lay on your back or right and you cut off the blood supply to your heart with the weight of the baby so you can only sleep on the left side or sleep sitting up Quote
Inver Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 In the toilet you get your Readers' Digest, newspapers and ocassionally other books... And this one is built into our downstairs corridor, courtesy of my father. Love the fact that a 'Gone with the Wind' book is supposedly in the toilet....lol:lol: Quote
angelofboox Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Apparently my sister's reading it, that's the reason why it was there Quote
Inver Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 No doubt Kell will add a little 'pink' or 'blue' bookshelf to Tadpole's room once here Quote
beef Posted September 14, 2008 Author Posted September 14, 2008 Apparently my sister's reading it, that's the reason why it was there That will last a LOT of bathroom trips! Quote
Kylie Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Here is mine: http://karoshi.me.uk/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=656 Nice, Beef (although the untidiness would drive me nuts! ). How do you sort your books? I notice the Harry Potters are all over the place. Is that how you sort - just wherever they land? I have a mainly non-fiction understairs bookcase (with a few 'soon to read' novels double stacked in the gap next to the phone) and one in the lounge (with my 'long-term to read' books on the bottom shelf. I'm lovin' the understair storage, Janet! I love creative uses of space. Unfortunately my understair space is not good for that. Have just realised one of my bookcases is in the picture behind me in my 34-wek bump pic, so here it is (please excuse the headless preggo lass with puffy ankles marring the view!): You look beautiful, Kell I'll post my pics in a week or so. I just moved my bed into my library temporarily so I can't take pics just now. Quote
Kell Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 No doubt Kell will add a little 'pink' or 'blue' bookshelf to Tadpole's room once here Nope - it'll be a stripped pine one - possibly with Winnie the Pooh decals on it. We haven't got it yet - all Tad's books are on the sofa in the nursery at the moment... You look beautiful, Kell Aww, thank you! Quote

I just moved my bed into my library temporarily so I can't take pics just now. ...sort you say.. I keep my computer books together..and the rest just live where they want, it makes it more fun to pick the next book that way (my next book method is to stand infront of one of my bookshelf's close my eyes and wave my fingers till it lands on a new book) Quote
Weave Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Aw Kell you look lovely Everyone, please excuse the planks of wood beside the book shelf, we are doing work on the flat at the moment, here is it though, my bookshelf Quote
Janet Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 It looks from the pile next to it that you need a second one! Is that a Dark Side of the Moon hanging I see behind it...? Quote
Karen1 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 It looks from the pile next to it that you need a second one! Not to mention the books piled up on top of the wardrobe to the left. Quote
Weave Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Janet, you are correct, we do need another shelf - we are running out room and yes, it is a Dark Side of The Moon flag behind the shelf, I am a big of Pink Floyd, we keep meaning to move it and never do. Karen, well spotted Quote
Janet Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I am a big of Pink Floyd, we keep meaning to move it and never do. Oh, me too! Quote
beef Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 Not technically a book shelf but still awesome: Quote

Kate Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Not technically a book shelf but still awesome: That is great! Quote
