Good point about the book cases - I have thought of that in my guest room, with its wall of shelves - that some day for a change I will have to put the bed in front of it! Now I know it is okay! : )<br /><br />Also, I have a similar issue in my living room, which is small. To arrange things nice and symmetrical, it ends up blocking the path to the dining room a bit. But it is worth it to have the living room arranged nicely. David keeps moving the sofa over 1 foot and I keep moving it back. I just walk around the other way to the dining room, which has two entries.<br />:)<br /><br />xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-45097900837406402982011-06-28T04:41:53.245-04:002011-06-28T04:41:53.245-04:00Love this post.

I have four bookcases which, indeed do act like walls. I love having two of antique wicker chairs in here, but I have to tell you if these weren't beloved family pieces, I'd chuck them in for chairs on WHEELS! That is the best way to handle having stuff in front of books that you do want to reach without having to do warm up exercises first!home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-53039135369223042232011-06-27T13:15:31.584-04:002011-06-27T13:15:31.584-04:00Great post!

It has great natural lighting (total of 10 windows) and opens to the long hallway. However, I want to make it a library with some comfortable seating for reading or enjoying a glass of wine. I am having bookshelves made for one side (maybe both) and plan to place a love seat right in front of it. Everyone insists that I need to leave at least 3 feet between the seating and bookcase...thank you for showing that I don't!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542778745166636519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-85903845628111441912011-06-27T11:11:21.967-04:002011-06-27T11:11:21.967-04:00Simply beautiful!
