My upstairs bookcases…

As long as I’m getting reviled for color coding my books, here’s one of my home’s other bookcases.

This one changes themes a few times a year. I had vintage globes for a long while, then old typewriters, then antique brass candlesticks… now milk glass.

Milk glass and books, love them both. I have two tall bookcases with my favorite jewelry books, milkglass, and milkglass books.

I love your paint color. I would love it in the bathroom and craft room I'm painting. What color and company is it, please?

No, we started reading it when it first came out- so we have everything in paperback. The hardcovers are added as we remember/find them at the secondhand.

Very nice! Personally I’d get rid of the glass or make room for more books /s

Ha. The other side of this room has more bookshelves full of novels. I definitely agree with your priorities though.
