Bookcases

The problem with having a lot of books is you can't really go and buy eight bookcases if they cost a thousand bucks a piece. I mean, you can if you have tons of money, but...

Anyway, here are some bookcases we've looked at.

The Copenhagen from Room and Board. Super pricey, but lovely. $1099.

The Moda Loft bookcase from Room and Board. It's actually from their kids' collection. Still pricey, though. $799.

If we just wanted to fit as many books as possible, this could be a good option. The 9' Wide Classic Office Shelf from Smart Furniture. I won a gift card from them a long time ago, and I liked their stuff. Might be hard to match wood tones if we buy a desk or other stuff from somewhere else... Anyway, this configuration (they're highly customizable) is $795 with free shipping.

A little more browsing of the Smart Furniture site brought up this beauty. Very expensive, but big enough to fit a lot of books? Maybe not enough... The Lax Series bookshelf. $1980.

The Nornas pine bookcase is from Ikea, so we could afford a ton of them. Also has matching bench and sideboard, which could be useful. Also is real wood (stainable) and fits baskets like the Expedit. $159.

I really like this shelf from Target. The Klyne: $240.

A cool low option from Target. The Mudhut Asmara: $160.

Ooh, mid-century style: $180 from Target.

One more basic one from Target. Comes in multiple finishes. Carson bookcase, $114.

The Oxford bookcase from Home Decorators Collection. Multiple sizes and finishes, this is the largest.  $269.

Apartment indecisiveness

We're moving! Do we replace the sectional? The bed? The desk? The coffee table? Lots of unknowns. But here are some things we've liked in stores. We'll start with sectionals:

The York sectional from Room and Board. Pricey, but lots of seating, and very comfortable. $2997.

The York as a smaller chaise sectional. $1999.

The Davis three-seat lounger from Crate and Barrel (Dave didn't love the fabric). $1999.

Henry sectional from West Elm. We weren't really considering full L sectionals when we were in the store, so we didn't really consider this, but I later found it online, and it's less expensive than the R&B options. $2397 for the cheapest fabric option, up into the $2800 territory for nicer options.

The Peggy from West Elm. We'd looked at the chaise sectional option. This is $2298.

The Ditto sectional from CB2. A little worried about cleaning the cushions, which are tufted. $1899. They don't offer it as a full L.
