Thought for the Day....

"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

Amen, sista.

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!

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.
