… I received 4 boxes of civil war books I could never afford to buy. Definitely blessed.

My Personal Library!
Always a work in process, I have a few more wooden crates in my garage being spray painted; yes, this was my best option when buying a new house and building a library before worrying about any other room.
I have books stacked on crates, items that need to be hung on the walls, and still have to put in my tin ceiling that Menard’s denied me over a year ago.
Still unpacking books, and trying to make room.
I love too many stories to make a theme in this library, other than reading books!

Still painting crates and organizing books; but this is definitely my comfort zone!

It Would Have Been Quicker…
…to put actual bricks in 😂 Only doing spots on the wall for accents; the majority of it will be hidden behind furniture and book cases. Hence; I see the crookedness, and I like it 😃

One Pain of a Step Done!
Next the subceiling goes up, and then the tin tiles whenever Menards stops holding them hostage.
Bricks will be sponge painted along portions of the walls, and I have a huge area rug to cut down all of the brightness.

My Future Personal Library!
I have everything bought I need to turn this 11×11 foot room into my library.
Here is what it looks like now…
Tomorrow I will post the furniture, lamps, and rugs I bought.
The one thing I haven’t gotten? Bookshelves 😳😂
I will start painting tomorrow, and cannot wait to see the results!

Do You Still Read “Real” Books?
At least, that is what I was asked. I am pretty sure that they were referring to e-books versus physical books, but I did have to chuckle. I always swore I would never have an e-reader, and only read “real” books.
I also could not count the number of books; really, really good books, that I have read that were only in an electronic format. I would not have had the opportunity to read those books if I completely relied on printed books.
Now, I also still have every intention of having a library in my home when I have the spare room available for it. I could think of nothing I would enjoy more than a comfortable chair, a soft light, fluffy rug, warm fireplace, and every wall full of bookcases stacked with books. My favorite books, the classics, and books I have not read yet.
I certainly have a good start on the bookcases and books. Now I just need the room.
Where do you keep all of your books? Or have you decided to go the e-reader way to save yourself some room?
