Chrissy Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 This gallery appeared in The Guardian today. I wanna cow shelf! Quote
poppyshake Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Ooh they're phenomenal ... I like the cow shelf and the bookcases on legs but the one I really want is the library staircase .. life would be complete then Thanks for posting the link Chrissy Quote
HoneyGirl Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Wow what a fascinating thread this is I will have to get some pics of the bookcases in my bedroom up on here, although I am having an overhaul of them soon and shall be getting a half bookcase for the side of my wardrobe and a larger bookcase to replace the small one I have. My bedroom is very small so I need to make as much of the space available as I can. Quote
Inver Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 This is us recycling some of dads Reader Digests books....he had loads of them. Hope some of them will go to a good home. They looked nice on a book shelf and we thought we would have a bit of fun with them before we tipped them in to the book bank. Quote
Brian. Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I have never seen a book recycling bin/skip before. Quote
chaliepud Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 We have a few near us, usually British Heart Foundation, they are either at recycling centres or in supermarket car parks if that's any help.. :-)) Quote
chaliepud Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Try this Brian, there may be a book bank nearer than you think.. http://www.bhf.org.uk/about-us/where-we-are/the-bhf-map.aspx Probably won't work for you Sofia! Quote
Brian. Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Try this Brian, there may be a book bank nearer than you think.. http://www.bhf.org.u...he-bhf-map.aspx Probably won't work for you Sofia! Well I never, there are 3 within a few miles of me. I've always just taken any books ive had to get rid of into the shops themselves. Quote
Sofia Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Try this Brian, there may be a book bank nearer than you think.. http://www.bhf.org.uk/about-us/where-we-are/the-bhf-map.aspx Probably won't work for you Sofia! It didnt....but it did prompt me to do my own search...and there is one close by at an elementary school...and also a couple near my job....so thanks for the tip Quote
Cookie Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Try this Brian, there may be a book bank nearer than you think.. http://www.bhf.org.u...he-bhf-map.aspx Probably won't work for you Sofia! If you see in a newspaper a woman arrested for trying to fit herself inside one of these don't worry...it will be ME!!! Quote
poppyshake Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I'm just bumping this incase anyone has new pics of their bookshelves .. we need to see them Quote
Kylie Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Do you have updated pics of your shelves? Or should I go and find your past pics to drool over? My bookshelves are looking a little less shabby these days, so I might go and finish fixing them up right now and take some pics tomorrow (with the natural light). Quote
frankie Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I could/should take new pics of some of my bookcases. Compared to the old ones, one of the bookcases is looking rather empty. Freakishly empty, one might say! Quote
Brian. Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I could/should take new pics of some of my bookcases. Compared to the old ones, one of the bookcases is looking rather empty. Freakishly empty, one might say! You should show us to prove that your book clearing out hasn't been a crafty ruse. Quote
frankie Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 You should show us to prove that your book clearing out hasn't been a crafty ruse. Oi!! Fine, I will, when I get back Joensuu. Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I'm waiting to be able to take a photo of a completely empty TBR shelf! Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 ^It's only one shelf out of about 50, so it's not that much of a nightmare! Quote
Peacefield Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Well, what a coincidence! You bumped the thread and I've got a new bookself! It's not exactly new since I bought it used from someone on CraigsList Thursday night, but it works really well in my tiny space and I love it. Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 It's so cute, peacefield. It would be the perfect size to fit next to my bed instead of a nightstand which never has enough space on it! Quote
Peacefield Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 It would be perfect for a nightstand, Chesil, you're right! Lots of levels holds lots of books . Quote
frankie Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Peace, I agree with everything that Claire said! Oooh and I also love your lamp Beautifully shaped! Quote
poppyshake Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I'm waiting to be able to take a photo of a completely empty TBR shelf! Don't show us we'll faint (or mentally start filling it with books.) I hope to have a new one to show you soon Kylie .. but it does rely on Alan making it so don't hold your breath It's for the littlest room in the house and I'm putting some whodunnits in there .. I thought it was appropriate Marcia I love your shelves .. I must have known about them and that's why I bumped the thread Quote
Kylie Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Marcia, that's a great shelf! I agree that it would look nice next to a bed. Quote
