bookworm

... in keeping with spring-cleaning efforts, I've been busy sorting thru/organizing books... lots and lots of books.... so very many books... we have too many... we're addicted...

In managing the addiction, I'm always on the hunt for library storage ideas... one of my favorites is Kartell's Bookworm. It's pricey... and it doesn't hold many books... but it's beautiful!

as4

Atlas Industries manufactures as4 - a beautiful line of modular furniture...
We've been considering using this system for the niche, between the closets in the master bedroom:

... still not sure which combination though. Probably some shelving with a desk or cabinets and drawers:

Eventually, it would be great to turn one of the rooms into a study or library...

... between the both of us we have a LOT of books, plus we both need some serious workspace...

... although, the desk configuration in the photo above wouldn't cut it. Not enough space to spread out.
