I am in desperate need of bookshelves. My daughter and I have stacks of books everywhere. You can’t pass through the house with your arms full because you are guaranteed to fall over a stack of books. (Of course, if you did, you would at least have something to read while you waited for the ambulance.)
I have been searching for bookshelves I like AND can afford. This is the real challenge, since I have very expensive taste. I came across these images of color sorted bookshelves and love them.

Artist Chris Cobb and helpers reshelved all the books in the San Francisco shop Adobe Books according to color for his work “There is Nothing Wrong in this Whole Wide World”. |

Maybe I could start by color sorting the piles in my house?

IKEA! I have my library set up with everything from there. Very inexpensive and awesome different shapes and sizes! Sometimes shipping can be pricey though so I always check for specials on the internet first!
Why didn’t I think of Ikea. My search continues…thanks for the idea.
Ha! Philip just photographed a family that has an entire wall of bookshelves, with books organized by color. As soon as the images are ready to view, I’ll show you. These were custom shelves, but the concept is exactly the same. Love it!
Thanks Rachel, I would love to see the images. I am having serious commitment issues about the shelves I need.
way cool. i think i might have to build some book shelves when i land in a place to live.
