fleaIf money were no object, and in fact aesthetics was the major object, what sort of bookcases would you have in your house? Ideally, give me a link where I can drool over pictures, but feel free to describe your custom-built ones (real or imaginary).
See, I'm a believer in furniture porn, but I rarely see bookcases I admire. And I own almost exclusively cheap melamine and cheap foldable wood ones, of course. Thomas Moser uses gorgeous wood, but their styling is very, um, practical. It is not to drool, IMO. (http://www.thomasmoser.com/residential/res.products.browse.cat.php?cat_id=13). Levenger is not doing much for me, either. Whatcha got?
Me, I think I'd want built-ins, mostly.

Date: 2006-06-12 08:43 pm (UTC)I want the adjustability and practicality of IKEA, without the ugly sameness and plastic-lookingness of IKEA. Actually, right now what I want is bookcases with tops, so that I actually have 4 shelves if I use the top as an extra shelf.
In my perfect universe, all of my study-room furniture is red oak.
