As a follow-up to Lisa's comment to my
previous post about keeping books, I thought I'd post some photos of my little "library." Okay, so its actually my dining room, but we use it for books much more than for eating, really. (Sorry for the awful quality of these photos!)
In addition to these three bookshelves (which are double-stacked and have piles on top, too), we also have two bookshelves in our living room.
(Yes, that's a replica of a human skull. No, we're not weirdos; my husband is an anatomy professor.)(Okay, we're a little weird, but not because of that.)
Our house is tiny, only 800 sq ft, so we go vertical as much as possible to fit all our books in. Someday I'll have a real library!
It's nice to see that I'm not the only one with my bookshelves in my dining room. Our home has the living / dining room combo, so they're technically the same room, and we have 3 bookshelves in the dining area, and 1 in the living area. Like you, there' doubled up with stacks on top. If I ever won the lottery (which is unlikely since I don't buy tickets), I'd buy a house that had a room dedicated to books with floor to ceiling shelves (so there'd be no stacking on top).
