Hi everyone, I've always dreamed of setting up my own home library and just wanted to share it here. My husband (an interior designer by training) helped me set this up!

I designed it to have a sunny country feel.

Here is my bookshelf. I have around 700 books, both fiction and non-fiction.

My favorite is my classics section!

I have more pictures, including a close up of my shelves, reading area, and writing desk in my blog: http://www.yellowlibrary.com/

Hi Memnoch, yes you should! In my experience it was well worth all the effort just admiring it once it was completed! :-D the library is now sort of my little sanctuary at home :-)

If you need decoration ideas, I have a little something i wrote in my blog:

Hope it will get you excited :) Then when you're done you can share it here!

That's absolutely charming and comfy. I would like to have that kind of reading space someday. I actually donated and gave away my library many years ago so I'll have to start from scratch. But with books going the way of digital distribution, maybe I'll just buy new hard drives... :mrgreen:

Love your reading chair! Looks so comfi! :) Excellent idea about putting up your own library :) :) :) My own dream is to have floor to ceiling bookshelves with a rolling ladder for access :) (think a scene from The Mummy movie :)
