That's what all our books are desperately in need of! Currently, the contents of our small, but eclectic library are stacked on the floor of our office - generally taking abuse and serving as a sitting platform for one unnamed 16-month-old...
So, this weekend, I'm begging the hubby to take me to the "furniture fair" here in Brasilia. From what I've observed (at a distance) it's a cross between a flea market and a handful of furniture "dealers." I doubt we'll buy anything to house our books, but I'd like to browse a bit, and maybe do some snooping around for possible furniture makers.
Thinking of books makes me dream of one of my all-time favorite design elements: library ladders. Aren't they just so clever? Have you seen them used in kitchens - now that always strikes me as especially sublime - to have a kitchen so grand you need a rolling ladder to reach everything - whew!
Oh well....dream on, I will....and will most definitely keep these in mind this weekend!

As Avery would say..."Ooooh-wee!!"
Maybe I can find a talented furniture maker, and have one of these babies made...That would definitely constitute a successful weekend for me!! What are your plans?Happy Weekend, Ya'll!!
