Whether you're building from scratch or installing straight from the store, this is the only book you'll need to make sure your shelves, cabinets, and built-ins look professional and well integrated in your home or office. First you have to know what you want. An amazing photo gallery helps you with that decision. Then you'll find an overview of the tools, materials, and techniques you'll be using. From here, you'll go one of two ways--building them yourself or installing ready-made--and this book gives equal attention to both. Step-by-step instructions guide you through the installation process so your ready-made shelves look like they were created by a custom carpenter. For the do-it-yourself builder, there's more than enough guidance to make shelves and cabinets that could earn the praise of a master craftsman. Whichever way you choose, instructions are illustrated with color photographs and diagrams. Projects include entertainment centers and bookshelves, plus kitchen, bathroom, and utility room storage cabinets.

Some people call me a hoarder; I think of myself more a lover of books who cannot with any once they become a #possession of mine.

Work progress in my home library - a side of the room I have not really shown in the past.

Catch up day for #LilithJuly - a migraine kept me from work and from basically everything else.

KarenUK Hope you are feeling better 💕 5y
Cinfhen Ugh, I know all about migraines 🤕Hope the meds kicked in and you‘re feeling better today 5y
Librarybelle Thanks, @KarenUK and @Cinfhen . I‘m still not 100%, but I can definitely function today. ❤️ 5y

Now that summer is here, I get to spend time in my office! These are my new bookshelves. And for the puzzle lovers, I have a puzzle table under the main part of my desk that pulls out. I love it!

KaraWines @VioletBramble I used to do them on the kitchen counter! That's why we built this one so that I can tuck it away. And the whole top shelf of my book shelves is puzzles. 5y
KaraWines @QueenJen Thanks! 5y
brilliantglow I love this! I wish I had the space for a puzzle table but I always end up using my dinning room or coffee table 5y

Hey @howjessreads, these are just the book #shelves. I have more shelves housing anything from mugs to clutter, too. ??

Also, I included one of each of my kids' shelves.

The shelf in the hallway houses books we share: dictionaries, reference books, cook books, favourite fantasy books that belong to all of us.

The large shelf next to my bed will be moved tomorrow, I want more space for yoga, so it has to move under the "cat barrier"

Nute I love this post. The description of the bookshelves invited me to enjoy your book collection with you. Thanks for sharing! 5y
GypsyKat Love this! 5y
SW-T Great post! Love the labels on the pictures 🙂 5y

My sad little shelf. Most of my books are in storage. This is my little night table shelf...there are also books behind this. Some day....I will have shelves upon shelves upon shelves (promises my husband).

Thank you sweet @Rachel.Rencher for your #Rencher10K giveaway.

#31bookpics This is part of my #shelves which I‘ve recently organised. I made a feeble attempt to arrange according to some colours there but did not work out well. I won‘t be able to find my books if I arrange them totally by colours.

Kalalalatja I have a few shelves arranged by color, but mostly I keep mine in alphabetical order. It looks pretty! 👌 5y

For this #shelfieSunday , I took a picture of my dining room table. It‘s become a shelf of sorts of books I need to catalog in LibraryThing before I place them on the bookshelves in my library. I also have piles of boxes and books in my library too. Kindly ignore the magazines and wine bottles and other non-book detritus...I‘ve been a tad unorganized of late.

Spot any must reads? Points to anyone who can make out some titles!

TiredLibrarian I can't make out most of them. From what I can see, I'd call Rebecca a must-read. 😊 6y
Librarybelle @TiredLibrarian Rebecca is one of my favorites! I didn‘t have a copy, for some reason, so snagged one for my personal library 6y
wanderinglynn The Secret History of Witches is on my TBR. 6y

The shelves are DONE! Thank goodness! 😁 There is a shelf for non-fiction that didn't quite make it into the frame, but I am so happy to be out of our last apartment and into something that looks pretty.

Also, just a quick takeaway while I was loading all of my shelves... Littens are a bunch of enablers. 😂 I wouldn't have half of these books without you guys (not a bad thing! 😉) Hoping to be more active again on here soon!

Suet624 Beautiful! Congrats. (edited) 6y

Day 9 - Shelfie: One shelf of many shelves.🙃
Not much organization. Sometimes grouped by author. Sometimes grouped by book height. Usually just random placement by purchased date.
#MarchInBooks

EvieBee Nice!! 6y
Nute @EvieBee @C.Perone Thanks! 6y
RidgewayGirl I‘m familiar with the tyranny of shelf height! Great looking shelves though. 6y

Today at work I singlehandedly moved the entire US history, US presidents. Latin American history, true crime, and memoir sections. 165 shelves worth of books! I‘m gonna be soooo sore tomorrow! But then at the end I made this display table of memoirs, and I love how it turned out! #behindthescenesatbookmans

Dragon Great display! I especially liked the tagged book. If you think the Handmaid‘s Tale can‘t happen, just read what happens to this female professor during the revolution in Iran. 6y

I got this idea from an FB video on bullet journaling (?) *i cant find the video anymore, LOL* and tried to recreate in on my journal. So, im gonna add titles on the ‘spines‘ as i finish more books. :) I hope I remember to update this regularly, though! 😂 Good thing I can always crosscheck with GoodReads if i happen to neglect this. Haha

Well. Turns out all my shelves are warped because of all the weight from my books. The nails in the back of the shelves are all bent and there's a big gap in the back. So I had to stuff old washcloths in the gaps so no more books will fall through 😅 #needanewbookshelf #thisonehasbeenwithme #sincefetusclaire #alsowhyarecookbookssoheavy

My parents and niece are coming for a visit on Saturday. I have floors to mop, beds to make, bathrooms to clean, pictures to hang, groceries to buy.
So, you know, today seemed like a good day to re-organize my bookshelves. 🙂

#30DaysofReadathon Countdown - 28: #red

I don't have an awful lot of red books, but I have a red bookcase. And yes, it's messy and the books are out of control. All our shelves are overflowing. There are stacks on the floor too. We are (hopefully) moving within a couple of months, so more shelves will have to wait.

LibrarianRyan Love the color 7y

One of my many shelves or piles of TBR books. #shelfie #riotgram

Most of the time I start reading something I got that week, so these are at risk of never being read, except for readathons or buddy reads. So, Litsy gives these books hope that they'll one day be read.

LeahBergen I'm the opposite. I usually have to put a new book on my shelf and let it live there for a while. 😄 7y
