I have O so many books that need to go up there. The DVD's that are currently on this shelf will be re-arranged so that I can fit some of my precious loves on them, Books. <br /><br />I was at the dreaded box store yesterday and walked past a prefabbed book shelf (one of those pressed board junkers) that was approximately the same size as the one we just built only a little narrower and they wanted 80.00 for it! <br /><br />Yay for new followers. I sure hope that I am not talking to myself all the time. :)Crystal Jeffershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618128591306668911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956164737211936000.post-65510265936172096722011-07-27T01:52:07.265-04:002011-07-27T01:52:07.265-04:00You will have your wood bookcase WAY longer than a...You will have your wood bookcase WAY longer than a particleboard knock-together version! I am still using pine book cases my Dad made when I was 6 years old, and let me tell you that's a LONG time ago.<br /><br />You may want to think of putting some sort of cleat under the ends of the shelves -- even 1 x 1 board would work -- for strength. But maybe that's just me because I can't see an empty bookshelf without PILING it with books until it screams for mercy.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting That Old House today! :-) I try and answer readers but sometimes just plain run out of time. <br /><br />I love the blue paint -- what color is it? I chose beachy blues for our family's beach house this spring, so I'm still obsessed with shades of blue!<br /><br />And ... I just became your newest follower. And now I have to go to BED. I stayed up late to fetch my daughter from the local bus depot; she was very late leaving the city tonight.<br /><br />but I'm yawning!<br />Best wishes -- CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956164737211936000.post-11368667814166511272011-07-26T15:00:40.567-04:002011-07-26T15:00:40.567-04:00That bookshelf is fabulous!
