"I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves." Anna Quindlen
I feel a little bit sheepish on this because with each move, we have given away, thrown away so many books. They are such a pain to move. And then I'm a big believer in the library and don't buy a lot of books. But, I want that look...someday.
I love the quote, even if I'm not exactly living it.
I'm not living it either, Lucy. We do have a lot of bookcases (8) in our house, but most of the books I read come from the library, and I'm a firm believer in the "pass it on" attitude when it comes to books.

Lemme add a hell yeah to that.
Matt's building me some mocks of some sweet Crate and Barrel modular shelves. Sweet.
Amen. Except that all those books are seriously a pain to move. But does that stop me? Nope.
I love Anna Q. and I love a house full 'o books!
