My Home Library
I moved from the city of Detroit to the suburb of Ypsilanti Township. Our closing and moving day was Valentine's day. What a gift. My husband and I are enjoying the wildlife surrounding our home. Our new deck is the perfect zone for reading a book and drinking crystal light tea (peach is my favorite).
We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary by buying me bookshelves from IKEA to hold my 700+ books. Because the house is still under warranty and brand spanking new (new house smell), we cannot remodel for the next 2 years.
My Home Library is slowly coming along. When the shelves are all put together and all the books are in their proper place, to make my library a more useful and comfortable space, such items as a reading chair or small couch and floor lamp will go in front of the library. This will provide a comfortable spot to sit and read. A plush rug will also increase the posh elegance of the space.

I wanted my library to give the room a sense of intelligence and sophistication. This was achieved by picking white free standing shelves with glass doors in uniform material, style and size. They fit into a pre-existing nook. I have room for 2 1/2 more to complete the library.
I welcome suggestions and pictures of decorating ideas. Share your home library transformations. I'll be making revisions to this blog from time to time.
