Library Reveal
Last Sunday on Mother’s Day I was crowned ‘Queen for the Day’ and my family gave this book loving girl an absolutely fantastic gift!
All day they carried, dusted and sorted the seven thousand books that were scattered throughout the house, into our new library and created our now favourite room.
Without further ado, let’s take a tour..
I’m now most likely to be found in the library soaking in the atmosphere, blessed, so very blessed. There is still book organising to complete, seating to purchase and picture book display shelves to build, small details, I’ll potter along. Simply ecstatic with with our space.
A huge thank you to my family, in particular to my husband who knows the way to his wife’s heart 🙂 xxx

Love it. Plus there is still blank wall space calling for more books ;). Are you going to put some seating under the window? That would make a great reading spot. My eldest took one look at all your books and said I want to go to her house lol. Suzanne

That blank wall is earmarked for picture book display shelves, when PC has half a spare moment. Clever thinking, yep window seating with more shelf space underneath for picture books. You’re all always welcome to come for a visit xx

Best Mother’s Day gift ever. So many readers, some varied tastes in books, hence partially why so many books.

WOOOOW! There are so many books. It looks amazing. Can’t wait to see the finer details as they happen but holy moly, it’s looking pretty good from where I’m sitting. What a great Mother’s Day gift. 🙂
Karen @ Pieces of Contentment
You must be thrilled Erin – and such perfect timing too! I imagine I would feel the same if I had a sewing/craft studio/room.
Sherelle
Congratulations! Now all I’d need is a chair and a cuppa – bliss!

I totally agree with you. I think I would go in there with a cup of coffee and never come out. It’s amazing!

What a wonderful Mother’s Day gift! I’m so happy for you that this project came together (and to have all the kids help out!! Wow!) It looks amazing, the floors are beautiful, the shelves spectacular. And the photo of you is lovely, also! Happy belated Mother’s Day, Erin!
