This week's topic is blog and bookish resolutions. I know I don't have ten but I am using this to combine something I've been meaning to do for awhile - a library reveal!
1. Try to get back on a regular blogging schedule. I hope to have Top Ten Tuesdays, Can't Wait Wednesdays, Stacking the Shelves/Update on Sundays, and reviews or tours at least 3 days a week. We'll see.
2. Respond to comments in a timely manner. I was doing well until COVID hit and the world started burning.
3. Use the library as much as possible.
4. Visit my favorite blogs several times a week.
AND FINALLY
5. Read some of my OWN books!
Which leads me to the long awaited library reveal! It's not perfect but it's close to done and I love it. So the remainder of the post is picture heavy. This was about a 6 month process as I did it in steps because I couldn't empty the room and do it all at once.
This is the look when you enter the door. Our house is 121 years old. I repainted the walls and have to admit I love this purple even more than I thought. The giant dog bed has been claimed by Apollo as both dogs love chilling in this room.
This is the corner with our exercise bike and three of my Prince photos.
Another exercise bike shot - one of my anniversary presents.
Two of 6 bookshelves and yep, I got mighty handy with a drill. The books aren't organized but the top of them are dog/animal related, the second and third shelves are horror/mystery and the bottom cubes are a mix of horror/fantasy.
More shelves.
More shelves on the other wall.
A Prince album I had in high school and the shorter shelf is one my Dad built me and I couldn't part with so I painted it white to match.
My "window" seat.
This poster took forever to arrive and the cover of the album I had in high school. I painted the letters and the glasses have lights in them which light up at night.
My desk which will eventually be painted white. My husband salvaged from it when we got married and were living in a tiny upstairs apartment. Something else I can't bear to part with.
Finally a half shelf where I keep my library books and planner supplies/other miscellaneous stuff. The bulletin board also lights up at night.
So there you have it! Yes, I'm a tad Prince obsessed but you can see why I definitely need to read from my own books!
