I love to read. Big surprise! With that love comes a lot of books. Especially with the book reviews I have done/will be doing, the books are really stacking up. I have been in desperate need of more storage for my "collection." So when I found a bigger bookshelf at the store that was on sale, it was a no-brainer. Of course it was something I had to assemble, and at 80 pounds it's no light weight. It took me about 3 hours to put it together - it would have been a lot faster had I been able to find the electric screwdriver! It came with more than 80 screws, so you can imagine how my arm/wrist was hurting by the time I was done. It's also a bit bigger than I initially thought, so my room is pretty much wall-to-wall furniture, but I have tons more space for all my stuff! Next to it you can see the quilt I had mostly completed before I left for Europe. I finished tying it today, and I only broke three needles in the process :)

That is a really cute bookcase. Where did you get it? And talk about skill!
Yay! That's fun! I put together some storage shelves this weekend too, so I understand the sore arms, but I only had 40. It looks awesome! And we need to get together to exchange Europe photos and stories. :)
I got it at Smith's Marketplace
The room looks great! Hope you're doing well..lets get together soon!
