Just a few detail shot of the center bookshelf. The books are organized by topic, then arranged how they look best. My favorite are the birds. I thought they deserved a shelf all their own.
i have not re-painted billy bookcases, though know it's kind of a pain. if you have the time and patience i guess it would be fine, but for the cost of getting white ones (either new or thru craisglist) it's probably not worth the trouble...
I'm a professional organizer who lives and works with a 'living better with less' philosophy. I'm not a minimalist but believe you should only take things into your life that you love. That your home should not only support your functional needs but be beautiful as well.

The birds are my absolute favorite as well!
Btw, are those ikea billy book shelves without the backing?
I have two of them in birch colour and I'm thinking of repainting them white. Do you have any experience in that?

they actually custom built-ins.

Thanks Laura!
I agree, could probably use craig's like to get rid of my old ones :)
