Crate inspiration.

I have been thinking about shelving recently. I usually favour custom built bookshelves but the crate caught my fancy, they are so modular (and if you are lucky free). If you get board just move them about. The wood has texture and a great variation of colour (you can always paint or stain them too). So here are a few to gaze over and gather inspiration.

A little book corner.

So I have discovered reading. As a kid I hated reading. In the past I may have read a book a year but this year I have read 8 books so far and going strong. Ironically for a while now I've had this idea to open up a reading cafe. This is what I would furnish my imaginary cafe with. The Lese+Lebe "portable reading room" comes with built-in lights and neat pull-down tables, perfect for a spot of tea.

One day...
