bookshelves

these are our bookshelves, the first furniture the hippie and i ever bought together, one whole wall of our living room. i LOVE them. EVERYONE loves them! there's a ladder, the books go all the way to the ceiling, and they are beautiful to look upon. there's not much more you can really ask for in a set of shelves. plus, as an added bonus, they are from utterly modular, and we can customize them or add onto them no matter where we live or what configuration we put them in. or so we thought. this morning i was catching up on releighing.com, and learned from them that the purveyor of my beloved shelving solution, storehouse is going out of business. my secret plan of getting more CD shelves, maybe a couple more general shelves, and wrapping these babies around a corner is blown all to hell. i am overcome with sadness! here we are on the eve of a renewed house hunt, and now we won't be able to get shelving EVER AGAIN. this weekend, i will go and see what's still available, but i gotta tell you--i'm not hopeful. stupid chapter 11 businesses. blah.
