Books by the Bed


I posted the above image on my Instagram page last night. This is part of the shelving unit next to my bed. I've been trying to reorganize and get these books off of the floor:


and onto different shelves throughout the apartment:

 

In my family, we consider books to be a part of the basic necessities. I will buy books before art supplies. It is quite a challenge to live in a small space and try to have a library at the same time.

I've made the photos nice and big because I know that I'm not the only one who loves looking at what's on other folks' shelves. These are only the books within reach when I lie in by my bed.

Hi Kelly! I love your blog! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful tips and things.
This post in particular is cute to me because I am sitting in a pile of books myself. LOL

I almost dies laughing when I saw the books alongside of your bed. This looks very similar to me and is where I also keep my "urgent to read" books. My pile grows and grows and is also hard to organize. I stopped by from another blog as I am an avid journaler and apparently you teach mixed media journaling. My journals are very colorful, but not of this type, and have been thinking this is something i would liek to explore more, so here i am. Will follow you, and when I am not in the middle of a photography class, will come back and take one of your classes ( or more) Nice to meet you!
