A few days ago, my former student turned
Twitter friend, showed me this
I believe my overflowing book shelf,
which I posted on Instagram, prompted her to share the unique bed. She later gave me an idea of what to post for my 11th Beautiful Sunday.
The books you see only represent a segment of my humbled and treasured book collection. My other books at home are found on my old working table, in the hidden compartment of my bed, the spare drawers in my cabinet and to spaces everywhere at home. My disorganized collection often irritates and causes some minor arguments with my Nanay (mom) :D Facing a dilemma of where to house my growing book collections, I found myself googling for unique shelves. Though budget dictates that this is not the right time to purchase a new shelf, my imagination fortunately doesn't restrict me to wish for any of these unique shelves.
The Twig Twig Shelf
Not really made of wood but metals shaped to a branch of a tree. I like the fact that the design combined simplicity and creativity.
A real wooden version of the Twig Book Case
Read Your Book Case
Another showcase of creativity! The shelf requires a huge space but the wooded panels inside will surely create additional means to accommodate more books

I seriously want something like this!
The space under the staircase remains as one of the most idle points in any home. Converting the space to a book shelf is one of the many ways we could maximize this often underutilized space.
A DIY shelf
Wood and wine bottles? Why not? They make a great book shelf too. In like manner that a table, a book and a glass of wine creates a relaxing environment for some.
Another DIY shelf which makes your books as decorative pieces too
A circular and revolving book shelf, I like!
The tall circular shelf is very space saving and can work for lazy readers like me.
Another version of a revolving shelf,
with hidden compartments to accommodate a great number of collections.

How would you like to have this?
But my ultimate dream is this
My own library equipped with unlimited number of books, wooden shelves, wooden floor, comfy couch and a window that provides a great view from the outside.
Oh my gosh, these bookshelves make my heart swoon. :) I dream of having a room with a whole, huge wall with floor to ceiling shelves. Oh, yes ... and with a rolling ladder too. Maybe someday...
ReplyDeleteI think its cool too!
ReplyDeleteLots of inspiration for you, Diane. I'm sure you'll figure out some economical way to store your book collection & keep your Nanay happy!

Ohmygosh! So, which one did you choose to have? I love looking at these! I wish I could have a mini library in my house someday :)
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Sunday! God Bless you!
You've found some wonderful ideas. We have plans to do a wall of bookcases but for now...our books are in boxes! boohoo! I'm linking this morning! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI love that bookshelf under the staircase. Coincidentally, I was thinking about shelves last night. I told my husband I wanted an office den when we have our own house. Of course this staircase shelf space would be for the additional books. :)
