A Bookseller’s Bookshelf. Part 3: The Built-in

At the beginning of last year, I moved back to Tartu. I bought an apartment that I renovated over 10 months. And part of that was the shelf I dreamt about before building the last one. For my second shelf, I took my time, saved money, and did some digging to find the right building blocks. Sadly, I don’t yet have the space and tools to build one from scratch. So I did some IKEA hacks and a lot of painting.

A Bookseller’s Bookshelf. Part 2: A Colourful Wall

After years of Pinterest boards, I have finally built my dream home library. It is not perfect – the next one will be. But it’s a good reason to show anyone interested in what the bookshelf of a bookseller and book layout artist looks like and how I got here. But before we get to my new creation, let’s take a look back at the shelf in my last apartment.

Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary

Some time ago I stumbled upon a book called Top Ten: The Best Books According to 125 Writers. As the name suggests, it listed the top 10 books of 125 authors and from that created the ultimate top 10 list. I thought it would be good reading inspiration, mostly for classics. And so in September, I started from the top – with Anna Karenina and from there to Madame Bovary.
