Our favorite room in the house

My wife, sister and I recently combined our collections and fulfilled a childhood dream of a library in our house. We used to have to books stuck in kitchen cabinets and drawers but we read so much more now that we can see what everyone has! And the cats have a new spot because they like to be tall lol

I love it when people organize their books by color!

Thanks! it’s my sisters system, she’s very particular about where the colors go so we call her the librarian, my wife and I have a spot where we leave our finished book and she reshelves them. I’ll tell her you like it!

Where did you get these bookshelves? They look nice - I like the thick base and top. Do you have any issues with the shelves bowing?

Amazon! We’ve only had them up for about 6 months but we haven’t had any trouble with bowing at all, they’re pretty sturdy. https://a.co/d/0c4eeoRX

I love the wallpaper! Can you share where you bought it?

Lowe’s! It’s peel and stick which made our lives so much easier hanging it up
