    I can honestly say that our built-in bookshelves are the pride and joy of our house…perhaps even one of the crowning moments of my adult life. For real! Have I ever shown them to you? I should email them your way…or check them on the blog. They remind me of photo #4. Now I just need a gorgeous set of chairs and monogrammed pillows to accompany them and I’ll be all set:)

      Mel,

      Yes! Please email me photos :) I remember seeing them right after they were built, but that was a few months ago now, right? maggie[at]magchunk.com. I may have a few questions for you too :)

    I LOVE these! Especially the books in the stairwell, and the ones in the attic with the piano. To quote shakespeare, “I burn, I pine, I perish” for those bookshelves :)

    i really like built in bookshelves, it fills up a room quite nicely – giving it a cozy feel. Wish more homes came with built-ins!

    Just what I needed–more bookshelf “porn” ;) . Loved that fourth one so much, I blogged about it!
