The Empty Shelf
The Empty Shelf | Trevor E. Donaldson, Haleh M. Donaldson, Jake Barnes
6 posts
Little Elizabeth Kenzington has the greatest collection of dolls and other toys. She has an empty place on her shelf waiting for the right piece. A nearby toy store carries a variety of toys, but when she learns the store will have to close, she decides to make the right choice for herself and the store.

This old TV stand has served me well, but it‘s time to find it another home. The best solution is that my niece takes it to replace the “crappy plastic one” they got from Amazon, but I have a Plan B and Plan C to get it out of here. #empty #shelfie #ittakesallkinds

Carpet is replaced. The bookshelf is officially reconfigured. All the boxes are broken down. It only took three-ish hours and 45 trips up and down the stairs! Only casualty was one knuckle, which got caught between two boxes. Owwie!

Tomorrow the nasty, old carpet will be replaced. The bookshelf will go back to it‘s proper place. And I get to unbox my books! Is it weird that I feel some pressure about how to organize and design the shelves?

CouronneDhiver New carpet or a different type of flooring? 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @CouronneDhiver New carpet. We debated hardwood but it‘s too noisy. We both wear hearing aids, which makes odd noises like footfalls seem extra loud. 6y
CouronneDhiver I don‘t blame you. Carpet is cozy. :) 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @CouronneDhiver It is. We also unintentionally ended up with better carpet than we planned. The carpet people LOST our original choice. So they paid for a better grade that we could also have installed on schedule. Win/win. 6y
LibrarianRyan Here‘s the thing. No matter how much you think you have the perfect shelf plan you‘ll want to redo it later. So have fun. Or just do something crazy. As long as you don‘t shelve them spines inside. Then we might all worry about you. 6y
Megara @LibrarianRyan “As long as you don‘t shelve them spines inside. Then we might all worry about you.” 😂 Yes. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @LibrarianRyan You are so right. And def no plan to make them all “match” by going spines inside. 🤣🤣😍😍 6y
Mdargusch I agree with @LibrarianRyan just think of it as your first design in a long line of them. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Mdargusch Will do! I‘m hoping to organize better and maybe even find a way to keep it from looking all crammed with books. Wish me luck! 6y
kspenmoll No! I plan to get a couple of new bookcases from Ikea & I am sure I will move things all over...I have to actually see things in place, cannot visualize the big picture. 6y
kspenmoll @LibrarianRyan It‘s one of the joys of books; arranging, rearranging etc! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @kspenmoll I‘m excited your upgrading too! I‘ve been debating about how to organize ... these book are nonfiction. I think I‘m going by topic, but I‘m tempted to go by spine color too. Just for fun! 6y

With the help of @LizzyM all my books are packed for our upcoming move. This just looks so wrong. And lonely.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Looks like a bunch of possibility to me, just waiting to be filled! 😂 7y
AmandaL I hope your move went smoothly! 7y
Beckys_Books @AmandaL it went very well. Just LOTS of boxes to unpack. 7y

This sad empty #shelfie is to celebrate that I finally have all of my sister's books packed up in boxes to send across the country. Next project will involve staining these boards and then figuring out how to redistribute my books across twice as much shelf space as they presently occupy!

#bookriot #riotgrams Late to the party... And without a good #shelfie! This is where most of our bookshelves go. But my husband has just Gyprocked/ plastered over an awful textured wall, and it is awaiting sanding and painting, so our big room is in boxes.

I've finally chosen paint colours for this room. A terracotta-clay colour for the big wall, a gold for the wall that the setting sun rays will light up, and a pale vanilla for the others.

Suzze Sounds nice! 8y
DebinHawaii Oh, I bet that will look amazing! 👍📚 8y
