I'm doing a bit more work in the library so I wanted to post a few more pics! #homelibrary #workinprogress #readingroom post 3/4 Corner # 2 Some classics, My Outlander collection, historic fiction, horror, mysteries/thrillers, and Sci Fi/Fantasy. The secretary belonged to my grandmother and fixing that up is my next project. It has some antique books, tea sets/stuff, and clay projects my boys have made me. #familyheirlooms

I'm doing a bit more work in the library so I wanted to post a few more pics! #homelibrary #workinprogress #readingroom post 1/4 The room (note the cats toys on the floor 😂 they're everywhere!) #catsoflitsy

Bookwormjillk Your room is beautiful! I swear that every time I put the cat toys away I can hear them muttering about me messing things up as they drag them back to where they think they belong. 3y
Gissy Beautiful 📚📚📚😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ (edited) 3y
carmens.library @Bookwormjillk Thank you! Exactly! And my kids don't help, they will pull out every toy because they think the cats need ALL the toys ALL the time 🤦 3y
carmens.library @Gissy Thank you!💕💕💕 3y

Posted my March update when we did the rummage sale- it wasn‘t great. Recalibrating this month:
1. Read/audio every day 20 mins
2. Yoga and mediation 3x week
3. Hard workout 1xweek

Not hitting these yet but not totally missing them either. #workinprogress #bfc

wanderinglynn Great goals! 🙌🏻 Just keep making progress! 3y

So I have had this mannequin for years. Originally I spray painted her watermelon pink. She doesn‘t match any room in the new house so I am currently decoupaging her with an old book. Once she is finished she will live in my little library.

Despite being under the weather, this is the progress I was able to make a couple of days before the doctor prescribed medicine and rest. Colds will do that to you!

Based on how things are looking now, there might be room for more books! ???

I even "unhauled" a small couple that I no longer wanted to read and will be great additions to a future library sale.

For now, back to resting I go!

Mitch The Virgo in me loves your straight lines 💕💕💕💕 6y
Librariana @Mitch - The Virgo in me thanks the Virgo in you! Yay Virgos!! I actually lay a book down and move it along the shelf to edge all the others up to it so they match 😁 I hope that explanation/visual made sense 😊💜📚 6y
Mitch @Librariana Great tip! I keep mine flush with the shelf edge and enjoy running my finger across spine and shelf edge to make sure it‘s flush! 🤣 6y

Texreader I love your Pops still in boxes! 6y
Hooked_on_books Looks great! 😍 6y
Librariana Thanks, @Texreader! My husband and I have collected a few more. Once I've got everything unpacked, I may have to rearrange to accommodate the others. We also have Saga, Bob's Burgers, Walking Dead, and a few Marvel as well as DC superheroes. 6y
Librariana @Hooked_on_books - Thanks, Holly! Now I just need to make some space to fit a couch! Every library needs a seating area 😄😁😊💜📚 6y
Hooked_on_books @Librariana Definitely! I have recent found cushioned lounge type chairs quite comfortable and they fit a smaller space, so that could work. 😉 6y

It's coming along slowly but surely!
.
We've been in our new casita 🏡 (little house) for almost a month now and we haven't been able to get as much unpacked and set up as we'd like.
.
The combination of work and personal commitments haven't really lent themselves to much time at home, but the hubby and I are trying - he in the garage, me in our library.
.
I hope to share the final, more presentable product with y'all soon!

Andrew65 Looking great! 6y
LauraBrook Fun! And love the collection of Starbucks mugs too! Can‘t wait to see how it all looks when the shelves are full of books. 💜 6y
