Books and bookshelves


On design shows, you always see bookshelves with a lot of art objects and a few books. Um, excuse me? They're called BOOK shelves. They're meant to hold as many books as possible. As you can see, this one is stuffed and I had to use the top surfaces as well. I've got a few more shelves and a bunch of books in boxes and drawers. My ideal would be a library with one of those rolling ladders.


Or with less space, maybe I could have a bookshelf stairwell like this one:

I mean, why waste that space? I could get used to always making the first step up with my left foot. 

PS I found the bookshelf stairwell online at Apartment Therapy.
