A Home for the Cookbooks

So – for the past several months (ever since we moved the living room bookshelves into the master bedroom) my rather large collection of cookbooks has been hanging out on the floor in the formal living room. Not exactly the most welcoming site. Last weekend we changed all that, and put up new shelving in the dining room.

We purchased the bookshelves and doors at Ikea, which was far less expensive than the other solutions I had looked into. Brandon put them together and I was excited to learn that I may need more cookbooks!! Seriously – I don’t fill up either! I’ve decided not to tell Brandon this little fact, because he seems to think I have too many cookbooks…weird I know.We still plan on adding the Anthropologie hardware, which I think will make them look a little more personalized. Now we just have to figure out a way to make the dining room look a little more warm and inviting since it is one of the first rooms people see when entering the house.
