I hated the orange coloured wooden bookcases I'd ended up with ... and so I painted them! Here is the result - along with my new Keep Calm and Carry On screenprint (by sfgirlbybay.etsy.com )
THere are three of these holding the two bookshelves together. As you can see, its fixed to the ceiling as well.
The Great Bookcase, 1859-62, designed by architect William Burges (1827-81) to hold his collection of books on art and Architecture. Painted by Burges himself and fourteen artist friends, most of whom were associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Movement: Edward Burne-Jones (1833-98), John Anster Fitzgerald (1819-1906), Henry Holiday (1839-1927), Stacy Marks (1829-98), Albert Moore (1841-93), Thomas Morten (1836-66), Edward Poynter (1836-1919), Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-82), Charles Rossiter (1827-97), Frederick Smallfield (1825-1915), Simeon Solomon (1840-1905), Frederick Weekes (1833-1920), Nathaniel Westlake (1833-1921), and William Frederick Yeames (1828-82) : detail - 'Arachne, the Pierides and Syrinx', all painted by Marks
Had been sorta-wanting a secretary for a while; something to put near the front door to stash important paper mail, etc. Then I saw this one that is -also a bookcase-!!!! For my house, that's magic.
This is a slight re-edit of one of my all-time most-viewed (not sure why).
Antique bookcase in family member's apartment in Buda, Budapest Hungary.
One of a series from a very special personal visit during our 2006 trip. This apartment and its furnishings have been in the family for very long (since before WWII I believe). Museum-like.
We had a great little afternoon snack of fresh raspberries and sugar with brownies. Our hostess spoke no English, Emily and I no Hungarian, so my Dad was in his element, doing spontaneous translation. His fluency in both languages is such that the language barrier was minimally disruptive of the conversation.
The raspberries? Best I ever had. And we got quite a laugh when my Mom asked what to call the brownies, and the Hungarian answer was "brownies"!
A Lego bookcase at Brickworld Chicago. If you view large, you can see the bookcase itself is a Lego build.
This is a standard "Markor" bookcase from IKEA, which I have wanted for some time but was trolling craigslist for a deal (it's from IKEA, yet it looks like "real" furniture!) Finally found it last week, but it didn't have a back... so I added one, complete with fun paper

A bookcase with books that I made +10 years ago. Each book is made from a different pattern paper. From Kasahara's Origami Omnibus.
blackbrown Billybookcase from ikea. My mom and I spent 8 and a half hours assembling, cleaning and organizing.
This is the top shelf of the bookcase. It's on eye level, so I tend to use it for a lot of photos of all my dolls. Someday I want to have a couple of different setups for some of the Pukifees, but right now space is a major issue. (I have bookcases I actually need to use for - BOOKS! Imagine that... ;-)
The back is done the same way, and the floor is also covered with scrapbook paper. It's glued down with Mod Podge and them covered with clear Ceramcoat varnish, but I'd like to do something to make it more permanent - or at least, waterproof.
More stuff from kits, One kit is the 2 bookcases, & there are 6 chairs, each one an individual kit. The putting together wasn't that hard, but getting the pieces to stay together while I was trying to glue them (especially the chairs) was. It's all the perfect 1/12 size for my Picco Neemo girls.
These are leftover pieces that would normally get thrown away. The black pieces are what the slats for the back of the chairs came in, & the wooden pieces are what the sides of the chairs are from. I was going to throw them away, but it occurred to me that the black pieces kind of look like shutters, & I could glue a piece of wood from the other piece down the middle to make something for a window. I think I'll give it a try.
What I think of as the "main" bookcase held jewellery at the top-left, comics, and books. The bottom-right cubby had already been cleared out and taken to the Lifeline book sale.

Among the furniture styles that flourished during the Edwardian Era, 1901-1910, was those done in the Arts and Crafts style. The pieces tended to be very rectilinear, meaning it had many straight lines, often with an emphasis on vertical and elongated forms. It was usually made of dark wood, and any hardware is made of wood or simple metal shapes. In general, the decoration on these furniture pieces is minimal, allowing the natural materials and crafted details to shine.
This narra bookcase is a local version of the Arts and Crafts style. It stands on eight legs, four in front and four behind. Those at the front corners are short dumpy cabriole legs, while the middle front legs and those at the sides are just straight ones that follow the outline of the cabriole legs at each corner.
The bottom of the bookcase consists of four low cabinets, each with a turned drawer pull. The two doors in the middle are divided into four in a checkerboard design, while those at the sides are plain.
Above the cabinets are bookshelves with glazed doors, the two at the center being taller and double the width of those on either side. The glass doors are composed of vertical and horizontal glazing bars that form a lattice patern with panes of beveled glass in front and at the sides.
The piece, although simple in design, exudes an air of delicacy and elegance.

Ikea Billy bookcase with height extension in black-brown. I finally have a bookcase big enough for all my books. Looks like I'll be needing another one very quickly, though.
UPDATE: I now have two Billy bookcases
