....and the day came......

It seems like things have to get really ugly before they can become  beautiful sometimes.

That's the state of my home right now.  Ug!
(in case you want to know what I'm talking about, check out this post)

So today, the bookcases go back together.  I've spent some time this week culling through my massive library of books...mostly on art and decorating...trying to reduce the many down to the few.

Luckily the blogs are full of beautiful inspiration pictures for decorating bookcases.

There's the "Messy-thrown-together-and-totally-interestesting " ones.

Been there...done that!

Then there's "Don't-touch-me! I-must-stay-perfectly-in-place" bookshelves.


Nope...that's not me.

There's the "Anal-retentive-color-coded-rainbow-arranged" bookcase.



and the "I-don't-like-any-color-in-my-bookcases-so-I'll-turm-the-spines-to-the-front" bookcase.
What??? Who does that?

Really????

These just aren't me.

I think I like a combination of books and other things.


(I love that these are painted behind like mine are.)

I like a more "lived-in" bookcase. 

...a bookcase with a personality (preferably like mine!)

Maybe  more like this


It's always an adventure.  Who knows at this point where I'll be this evening when I'm done....if I'm done!....Do you ever get done?

I guess I can always put the left overs here...


That might just solve my fireplace dilemma!
