Question Tuesday: Describe Your Ideal, Money-no-Object, Home Library

Posted July 10, 2012 by Michael @ Knowledge Lost in Question Tuesday / 0 Comments

I’ve always wanted a little reading room with floor-to-ceiling wall-to-wall bookshelves, full of great books. I would especially love a whole lot of old leather bound books to grace my bookshelves. The shelves would be made out of a nice timber and the shelves themselves will be jammed pack with books that it might even be impossible to add any more books to the shelves; this is why there are piles of books on the floor as well. In the middle of the room, I would want some comfortable reading chairs with a nice coffee table to keep my notepad and coffee while I read as well as some reading lamps and I would want this room to be cool and comfortable to read in.  This is also my idea of a man cave, maybe add a computer in the corner where I can write blog posts and book reviews and even catch up on twitter and goodreads. It doesn’t have to be a big room as long as the shelves are full of great books to read and enjoy. Even if I’m become more and more of a kindle reader, I would still want to be surrounded by books.

Here’s an example (with a chair not a bed)

  1. I’d want floor to ceiling timber shelves as well with a big comfy day bed to lounge on and a little table to hold snacks and drinks. One big picture window for plenty of light, sound proofing and a lock on the door!

    Haha love your room! I’ve always wanted a home library with a ladder that I can roll around on, a la the Disney Belle. I’m cool like that.

    Hi Michael, I love my house but it’s slightly on the smaller
    side. If I had money to spare I would probably do an extension and go up. Build
    a massive room for myself with floor to ceiling books shelves made out of red
    timber. A funky, bright coloured couch, right in the middle of the room so I’m
    surrounded by my books.
