Ooh, and look at all of them!! I'd be like a kid in a candy store. Our walls are lined with books too, and the attic, and under the beds....lol I like your red carpet on the stairs
I do so agree, loads of books and pictures on the wall make the home, not to worried about the furniture! I always hang pictures as soon as we move house, before unpacking anything else, it makes me feel "at home"
Love all your books. I'm with you because I don't know what I would do without books. I have to admit though that I am reading more and more ebooks. They are easier to read, but can't fill a bookshelf.
