If you read my post the other day on the bookcase reveal, you’ll remember that I had to seriously thin out our books.
I bet you’re wondering what happened to the ones that didn’t make the cut. Let’s just say that ‘thinned out’ doesn’t exactly mean ‘purged’.
Here’s where they are now.
I did go through them, and have moved some on, but what you see here are the ones we’re keeping. We love our books, so now these ones need to find a new home within our home.
I’m trying to bring some colour and fun into the office, and what I do still has to work with our desks. Details on that later.
But for our books, here’s the solution.
These colourful paisley storage boxes, and they’re even turquoise inside! How perfect is that?
I have 2 full sets, and will be sorting and storing our books in them. And these boxes won’t be hidden away out of sight. Nope, instead they’ll be showcased in the office so we can enjoy the colour and cheer they bring to the room.
And yes, I’ll probably be doing a basic list of contents like I wrote about here, so book retrieval is easy and fast!
Much better than keeping them in boxes in the basement, don’t you think?
I hope you stop by again. That way you’ll get to see the office as it continues to unfold!
It’s about coming home… and home is a remarkable space that tells your story. I’d love to give you a hand with that! Contact me here.
THANKS FOR READING!

Love the boxes, so pretty!
The bookcase is fantastic Sheila. So bright and cheery and I love the way you’ve styled it. Funny how impractical a bookcase can become when design is a factor huh?
Bet you love working in your office now that you have a NEW and styled bookcase.It looks fabulous Sheila.
Of course I’ll be back – I was just thinking about this earlier today as I was sifting through some magazines and books. I don’t want to get rid of everything but we really don’t have the room to store some of them. I think the boxes you picked up are really pretty – and I need to read your post on the book index.
That post really makes me want to get more organized with our “storage” – I usually put a note on the inside of the box with the contents but I think it needs to be more detailed so I don’t have to route through everything. You’re so good!
I LOVE the fabric Sheila! Purple paisley! OMG!Going to look great wherever you use them!!
You’re so resourceful S ! The book shelf looks amazing and no one ever talks about the stuff that you take off the shelf that doesn’t look nice anymore but yet we still need it. Thanks for the post.
