Before & After Bookshelves

I recently moved into a old craftsman style home with built-in shelving, so I thought I’d share a little corner of my abode.

I love books – everything about them. Of course reading them, but also holding them, displaying them and decorating with them. There’s just something so cozy about books. I actually have a fear that electronic book readers will one day replace hard copies. Scary thought. With that being said, I’m a huge collector. So the move into my new (old) home is like a little dream come true.

I also love thrift shopping, so when I find something interesting or appealing, I’ll pick it up and add it to my bookshelves. Take a peek at some of the things I used and then give it a try.
