… there – it’s public now! But the truth is – I really am a geek, especially when it comes to books!!! I LOVE books – to read them, as well as just to look at them. I think it’s a perfect tool to make a room really cosy. My boyfriend and I have just returned from a short break in Scotland (his home-country) and as always we take a day out (yes literally a day!) to go to a book shop, and we do pretty much spend an entire day in the book shop. This is what we returned with this time (we go crazy, mainly because the books are much cheaper in the UK than in Denmark):
But this also means that we need to start looking for bookcases for our “library” as we are running out of space – quickly!!! I have therefore started looking for bookcases – custom build as well as ready made.
I particualarly like the danish company Montana, the great thing about this is that they have so many different elements, so effectively you can custombuild your own bookcase, they even have a designtool on their website that lets you play around with all the different modules. I had a quick play-around, and this is my first-edition bookcase. I like the fact that you can add splashes of colour in without having to opt for one colour alone:
The problem with these is the price – which is way out of my range just now! So that will have to wait… unfortunately! But luckily for me, Ikea does some really nice bookcases, and the good thing about this particular model is that you can add glass doors, which means that all the books will be a bit more protected against dust etc.:
Not only is this in a price range where almost anyone can play – it has also got the possibility of adding different modules, like the Montana one – albeit not quite as many opportunities as the Montana model. Other option is to get our capenter to build one that fits the allocated book-space perfectly – I am planning to get that priced, but I am not keeping my hopes high on this one, I am not sure we will be able to afford that either just now…. I will keep you posted on the progress :)
Until then, just a little inspiration:

Den er også en mulighed, synes jeg.. Jeg vil i hvert fald gerne have så’n en engang..
Aaah ja den usynlige boghylde – den er også fin! Men den tænker jeg mere til coffeetable-books (altså dem der skal ligge fremme) eller f.eks. som sengebord – det ville være fint!!!! Hvis man kan holde det rydeligt ;)
