Show Me: Bookshelves

First of all: If you have enough bookshelves please let me know how you achieved that!

Mine are rather disorganized at the moment. Actually I’ve been saying since we moved here a year ago that I was going to organize them….ain’t happened yet!

Plus they end up piled with extra stuff that need a temporary home (or that I don’t feel like taking to it’s permanent home right then). I do clear the extra stuff from time to time, but somehow it comes back!

Anyway here they are:

Mostly books and mostly for grown-ups. One shelf of picture books for the little boys (and the bin for socks waiting to be matched!)

One of the great catch-all spaces in the house! If you can't find it where it belong look on the dining room shelves. Everything from bowls waiting for me to make a thrift store trip to stuff I've confiscated from the children and put up out of reach! Also more books, mostly from my college days, and our hymnal collection.

In the basement one shelf with homeschool materials- books no one is using right now, reference/ continuing ed stuff for me and the Encyclopedia Britannica my grandmother purchased for my Dad and his brothers (and yes we do use it!)

The only shelves in the schoolroom don't actually hold books! Just the toys for the little boys to use during school and naptime. Books live in  cubbies and desks.

And finally the book closet in Mouse's bedroom. Most of the children's books live here although some have migrated to the closet on the other side of the room as I've attempted to keep certain subjects together and needed more room...
