I fell in love with our new house immediately because it has a small, open office/den space at the front of the house that I instantly knew I wanted to make into my library. I've always dreamed of having my own library but, one can not really have a library without bookshelves. And while I would love to have built-ins, it isn't in the budget right now. Luckily, IKEA makes some really nice, actual wood bookshelves. And as luck would have it, said bookshelves were on sale during the first week of May! Jim and I like to tackle things slowly, so it's no surprise that it took us 3 weeks to build the bookshelves. Also, our foreman wasn't the easiest guy to work with at times...

They look great. Love the colour!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kara! It's a horrible photo, but I really like the color too and I figure they kinda go with anything. We actually have a matching dresser too ;)
DeleteThose look awesome. I might have to plan a trip to Ikea myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ryan! Just wait till they actually have books on them! ;)
DeleteGah, that puppy is ADORABLE.
ReplyDeleteOh the Ikea bookshelves. Agree, love the color. And the small one between the other 2 looks nice
Sometimes he's like an annoying toddler following us around; thank god he can't ask "why?" ;)
DeleteI just realized how crooked the shelves are in that picture. Good thing hubby can't stand things like that and fixed them right away! Thanks for stopping by!
