[...] Create a “Closet Library.” [...]

That is such a great idea, I have TONS of books and bookshelves and am constantly running out of room….this is just perfect :)

WOW – those are the tidiest, nicest bookshelves ever!! good idea about the closet – but I am always trying to use all the storage space I can find!

Laura what do you do if your current home has no closet space to speak of? Is it okay to find a new house to fit all the books…scrapbooks that I love?

Oh Thank you! You are so thoughtful, and yes, I can use this idea! We have outgrown clothes in my 3 yr old’s closet that is going down to my toddler; so once I empty that out, it will be a perfect empty place for books. :) Thanks for taking time to do a whole post on my “?”. Now I feel special. :) (grin).

that is a wonderful habit to build in your family’s life.

I love that!! Emily is such a book lover and keeps accumulating more and more books. We make regular trips to the library to try to cut down on buying so many books. She loves to go garage saling and spends her own allowance money on more books!! That is a great idea…I’m going to have to do that!!

We are a family of book lovers as well. My 2 older boys share a bedroom and I just rearranged it a month ago and moved the bookshelf from the TV room into their room. I can’t wait til we redo the basement. What I want is a big built in corner desk unit and lots of built in bookshelves. We’ll have to wait a couple of years though. It’ll be a costly renovation!!

That’s a great idea! The books look so neat–and they are easy for your daughter to get to!
