Reading is Fundamental

So, here will be your first taste of the before and after transformations in the house. At the top of this page you will see (tiny) "before" shots of the office/ library, and below you will see an "after" shot showing the new shelving. I spent the day Saturday pulling my boxes of books out of the storage closet and arranging tchotchkes on the shelf (photo not shown). I organized my books into categories... Fiction, non-fiction, biographies, poetry, etc. And I was a bit overwrought at the voluminous size of my Self-Help section (no laughing). Oh. Well. I can say that if I'm a freak then at least I'm neat :)


We are really enjoying the use of this new room. But I am having trouble sticking to one name for it. It has lots of nick names: Den, Office, Study, Library, Reading Room, Meditation Room, Chill-out Room...

I will take more pics tonight so you can get a 3D feel for the space (and see the porcelain vessel I've added to the shelf. I picked it up from Bloomies - off of the clearance table!!)
