We're undergoing a massive weeding process now (deciding which books stay after seven years of no checkouts, and which go), and it's just heartbreaking, because as a packrat, I want to keep them all! I wonder why they got rid of your books even though they were still seeing circulation!

The design theme that you mentioned of sort of quaint "colonial-style" stuff juxtaposed with modern furniture has always sort of puzzled me, too...but I like it.Lauren Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627148276337482413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-64721174334341282682013-09-10T13:54:22.394-05:002013-09-10T13:54:22.394-05:00Cute!

I'm guessing it's partly because that time was such a booming time for these parts?Sarah W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03345906191451341411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-60222606131271640932013-09-10T12:52:23.985-05:002013-09-10T12:52:23.985-05:00I would love to move right into picture #2-that wi...I would love to move right into picture #2-that window seat!! I see your point about the library, but unfortunately mine seems to be in the process of getting rid of books that I love! Case in point, I love D.E. Stevenson, and would take out all the books out once a year, and read them again. I also wanted to make sure they saw they were still in circulation. When I went in a month ago-they were all gone, taken off the shelves. So sad!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066711967134481582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-12256004063535920742013-09-10T11:23:06.141-05:002013-09-10T11:23:06.141-05:00You dig up the best stuff on the interwebs!

I hope you don't mind that I pin some of the images you find for inspiration when we buy/decorate a house. I always include a source notation and link back to your blog! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232951532779670875noreply@blogger.com
