Boxes are being unpacked as time allows. The bookshelves are nearly full! An acrylic swag lamp from the 1960’s now graces the Black Hole. I had hoped to slip an antique desk into the niche, but it was about 1/8″ too wide for the opening and I’m not about to alter the desk top. So, I will learn to embrace the quirky angularity of it. It’s starting to grow on me…
An antique desk illuminated by an acrylic swag lamp gives purpose to the Black Hole.
Hopefully now I’ll be able to find the book I always seem to be looking for. I’ve added vertical shelf supports to hopefully prevent any potential sagging of the shelves. I may have to beef them up a bit in the future.
The vinatage Kik-Step rolling step stool was a lucky find … being vertically challenged, I use it a lot!
Looks great!
Thanks! I’ve still got lots to unpack. And many years of renovations to the rest of the house!
The library stool is pretty sweet.
LOVE the acrylic swag lamp! The perfect spot for it!
It is so nice seeing the bookshelves get filled up! Is there a greater thrill in life?
Suggestion?
I would remove the books between the joists. STAT!!!!!!!! I think this really breaks the line of the horizontal shelves.
I just knew there was something not right about this… thank you for identifying it for me!
