My Books Are Home

My house is still a work in progress and will always be.  With so many projects on the line, I don't know which one to tackle first. I think overwhelmed is the best word to describe how I feel these days; it's not easy owning a house when you're single.  My house is lacking with a lot of things - furniture, some light fixtures and more.  I think it will take time before I get to that level of complacency with regards to how I feel about my house.  For me, the most important thing right now, is that I feel absolutely at home.

Recently, I bought this bookcase.  I was getting tired of seeing my books scattered everywhere and thought it's about time my futon could use some new company in the living room.  Special thanks to Bear for helping me build this bookcase. I found something for my house with Target promo codes and thought it had that special touch.

I like the black color.

Finally, my books are home.

  1. I have yet to find suitable bookcase for my books in my room. Sigh.

    Yours is beautiful. What is it made of? Wood or steel? It's really nice, perfectly blends your wall color.

  4. Wow lovely books and bookcase.
    I like the plant effect on top of the shelf. Simple, neat and very functional! Wtg Kayni.

    Don't worry too much about lacking some things for your home, go for the minimalist look :D

  6. For people like me, investing on bookshelf is like investing on a good mattress. It will always be worth it because it's a part of us and it defines us. The plant over there made it look nicer. =)

  8. What a lovely bookshelf and pretty organized too. :)

    That "overwhelmed" feeling is something I'm also trying to sort through for a few weeks now.

    Taking it one day at a time, one thing at a time. :)
