Writing Update: Rainbow Bookshelves, Audio Books, and More
by Shannon Fox
I’ve needed to do something about my book shelf situation at home for about two years Problem was, I really liked the bookshelf I had, really liked my living room set up, and didn’t want to just get rid of a perfectly good bookshelf (or perfectly good books). So I kept piling all the new books on the floor near the book shelf, telling … Read More Writing Update: Rainbow Bookshelves, Audio Books, and More
Reading Spaces: Reading Corner
by Shannon Fox
I think for most of us, our reading space looks more like a comfy chair in a quiet corner. Or just a quiet corner somewhere. Anywhere. The comfy chair would be a bonus. All images via Houzz
Reading Spaces: Window Seat With Storage
by Shannon Fox
The only thing better than a window seat is a window seat with storage. Because if you’re anything like me, you’re probably sneaking books into the house while your significant other is away and playing dumb when he asks why the pile on the floor is getting bigger. Or you just have too much stuff in your life and need to read The Life-Changing Magic … Read More Reading Spaces: Window Seat With Storage
Reading Spaces: Home Office Window Seat
by Shannon Fox
If I worked from home, I would definitely want my office to include a dedicated reading space. Preferably a window seat. Not only would I want the option (or temptation) to break up the work day with a little reading, but let’s be honest: have laptop, will travel. For most of us, we don’t really need a desk to do our work. Okay, maybe … Read More Reading Spaces: Home Office Window Seat
Reading Spaces: Hammock Lounging
by Shannon Fox
Hammocks are one of those things that sound better in theory than they really are. I used to always wish for a hammock to lounge around in and then when we finally got one, I discovered I didn’t like it all that much. For one thing, you keep it outside usually so the bugs and spiders get all over it. For another thing, it’s … Read More Reading Spaces: Hammock Lounging
Reading Spaces: Hallway Book Storage
by Shannon Fox
This week’s Reading Spaces isn’t so much about a reading space as it is about ideas for book storage. Put your hallways to use and squeeze in some built-ins! Several years ago I worked for a psychologist who had tons of books in his home. Books on books on books! Seeing these ideas for hallway storage remind me of that house which had knowledge … Read More Reading Spaces: Hallway Book Storage
Reading Spaces: Modern Home Library
by Shannon Fox
Bonus rooms and lofts are super popular features in San Diego homes. It seems that a lot of home buyers (and owners) like the idea of having a flexible space. Is it another a bedroom? An office? A game room? A theatre room? A library? Obviously, we know what I would use my bonus room for. If I had one. Which I don’t. Anyway. … Read More Reading Spaces: Modern Home Library

Reading Spaces: Rainbow Bookshelves
by Shannon Fox
I’ve always liked how it looks to organize spaces by color, whether it’s clothes in the closet or books on the shelves. The fact that the books wouldn’t be organized by title or author doesn’t bother me. I have the Kallax bookshelf from ikea so I’ve loosely organized each cubby by books I’ve read and books I haven’t….and then stacked them like tetris so I … Read More Reading Spaces: Rainbow Bookshelves
