I wrote previously about the crazy decor in the condo my husband and I bought. Here are some stage by stage condo renovation pictures. We have a little nook off the dining room. I think it used to be a porch at some point, but it was closed in. The nook is the area where I was going to set up all my bookshelves. It previously housed the former owner’s collection of dolls. Here is what it used to look like, complete with the former owner’s furniture and dolls in the nook in the far right corner of the photo:
This is the nook area after my husband got rid of all the shelves and the wallpaper border in the dining room:
The red stuff in the nook was a very thick plaster treatment. So we sanded it down some:
We painted the room a light green and set up my bookshelves. This is what it looks like now, you can see that I still have way too many books!

No such thing as “too many books!”
Looks fabulous–nice job updating things! I’d love to plop down in that chair and start reading.

It’s hard to tell but it looks like a nice shade of green. congrats! I wish my unpacking here in Malden was as productive.

I agree, there is no such thing as “too many books!”
I’m glad things are coming together at your new home!

You can’t see the green walls because of all the book cases!

The Library Gadfly happens to know that a second cousin of Tangognat has a library at least one order of magnitude bigger than does Tangognat. So until the library is big enough to be the library for a town of 10,000, it still has lots of room to grow.

I was wondering you keep say you have to many books which is a good thing, but I was wondering are you going to have anymore giveaway contest?.

I don’t really have another plan for a giveaway contest right now. It took me some time to pile up the manga I gave away the last time.
