I have bookcases in every room of my house, except the bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room. I even installed bookshelves on the walls about 6 1/2 feet from the floor to take advantage of the (what I consider) wasted space above doors as I have vaulted (or cathedral) ceilings throughout my house.

Heres just a couple quick shots. I have others but in other rooms. My collection needs space. I have the SK library books I got a week or so ago and have yet to figure where I am putting them.KRF LOL I have a king themed bathroom and a Red Sox bathroom.
I have a few other random books in random shelves/cabinets.I'm loving all these book pictures. Peeking at other people's book cases thrills me. I know you read SK, I want to see your other shelves, too.
...with her collection too....Thank you for indulging me The Nameless - you are very tidy and organized with your collections. I'm a bit scattered.

Pix please.We've got built-in bookcases in two bedrooms and the living room and there's books on these shelves in the front porch, over the windows there...old sliding glass door panels...seemed too good to toss and they've held their seal now for 20+ years, this over the number of years they performed well in a house in Iowa...they've traveled far. You could probably make a pretty decent bookcase by simply going to the lumberyard and buying some 1x6 pine...some places might even cut them to length for you...couple uprights about four feet long, five if you want, about 4-5 lengths to run between them...then get some 1x2 pine to cover the face of the shelf and provide strength for the weight they must carry...get the Norm Abrams video...guy doesn't change the bit in the router, he picks up another router, bit already in place...guy must have gone through the line more than once when they were passing things out. Saw some old...or new...bookcases, pics somewhere...they had used old window sashes for doors. Had that rustic look...plus I've seen some pretty wild bookcases in various locations online...I think aliens in Area 51 made them...bored to tears with their captors. Imagine one of them, fed up with things...at first, when they took him in, he (it's the misogynist in me) was glad to provide advice and consent...but after a time, chemistry changes...and lately he's been giving bad advice, reason we're in the state we're in. Bookcase building seems a safe bet.
I have a friend who has a wall like that in her basement, for the same reason (homeschooling). They bought Sauder bookcases from the second hand store (I think $5/ea) and lined them up to fill the space, then her husband trimmed the whole thing out with molding so it looks like built in cabinets. It's gorgeous!We have a crap ton of bookcases, including one room in the basement that is wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling. But there are seven of us, and we homeschool, so we tend to hoard books even more than your everyday rabid readers.
