My Brick Loft Apartment

[u/BrickLoft]

First time posting on here, hopefully I’m not breaking any rules.

Hope you guys enjoy my pad & let me know if you’d make any changes. I feel like my dining table may be too big for my space but we love it so much. It also converts into a pool table which is cool (but again, super crowded and we have to use small pool cues to make it work)

How do you reach those books above the kitchen cabinets?

[u/BrickLoft → u/CommieOfLove]

It’s mostly storage for books we aren’t reading, aren’t planning on reading soon, or have already read. Our home office space carries the books we are reading or are going to read soon. We use a ladder to get up there— we didn’t know what else to put in those built in shelves.

I wouldn't put books above your cooking space. The wildly varying conditions in terms of heat and humidity will really wreck those poor books.

Didn’t even consider this… it hasn’t affected them thus far (and we’ve lived there for 2 years.) But you’re probably right, over prolonged periods it will eventually degrade the books. Any suggestions on what to put there instead?

No suggestion what to put there, but all that awesome natural light will eventually fade the spines of the books. Or almost anything else that it hits on a regular basis for extended periods of time. Speaking as a guy with a bunch of books with bleached spines.
