Before we left Tulsa, we sold well over a hundred books through Craigslist. Kinda crazy. Now most of our books (besides a few stacks here and there) fit right here on this little bookcase. We don’t purchase many books anymore. We’re huge fans of borrowing from the library, although the occasional new craft book or thrifted novel finds its way onto our nightstand.

The other painting was my Valentine’s Day gift to Evan.
I think this scene needs a plant in it.

Wow! An impressive feat. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about paring down our book collection, but it’s so hard! A lot of favorites!

I love how the white wall and bookshelf sets off and calms the brightly colored books! And yes, I can totally see a spider plant on the top left of the shelf. Not that low spider plants and toddlers mix…but still, it’s a nice thought. : )

I have about a billion books, because I went to a large library sell-off a few years ago and was able to purchase several paper sacks full of them for a few dollars. Even now, years later, I haven’t managed to read them all, but I get rid of a few dozen every few months. If you love to read, I guess you just have to go with the collecting that comes with the habit!

Is it creepy that I recognized one of your books just by the spine? I was innocently glancing at the photo, not even in full on stare mode, when it jumped out at me, screaming ‘YOU KNOW ME!” Haha. Great blog!
