I had to partially build my bookcase because of my 9 ft. ceiling. The bottom part is a regular store bought bookcase and the upper part is an added addition to reach the ceiling. I definitely need a rolling ladder.

(Btw, your captcha has become even more difficult.)

We have about five bookscases around the house and they are all full. The books that don’t fit into the bookcase are on the floor or wherever I can find a spot for! Why do I keep getting more??? LOL.

Billy Bookcases – Ikea, anchored to the wall because when my girls were younger they thought bookcases were jungle gyms.
Glad nobody got hurt at your place! Please be more careful! I need my rock star agent to be around to sell more of my books. Not to mention, I really like you!
(You can exclude me from the giveaway, just wanted to say hello. Thanks! : )

In my home that DH got in the divorce, my son and I gutted it and rebuilt it. I converted one of the large bedrooms into an office and the walk in closet I lined with horseshoe shelves for supplies and reference books. I made built in bookcases for the office out of pine boards stained to match the wainscoting. Since I’d built all the cabinets in the house, they were like furniture, not just shelves and anchored.

Nice bookcases are more expensive, but worth it. Now I have cheap particle board ones and metal shelves. Hastings was redoing one of their stores and threw away runners and heavy duty metal shelves that I rescued.

I have solid wood shelves that I bought second-hand. Boring, but very sturdy and reliable.
