Musings & Wants: The King of Bookcases

the maharaja bookcase from wisteria - $1500 of exquisite decor

It's the Auntie Mame of bookcases. One of those things I'm not even pretending might ever be mine. There are just too many other things to do with the money. But, if wishes were horses and money no object... This bookcase would be a central part of my very own, super-sacred reading nook. Stacked top to bottom with only the most re-readable books - and magazines - I own. All within arm's reach of a wonderful sloping chair-and-a-half draped in saris and kilims...

The Lord of the Rings, The Lords of Discipline, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Islanders, It, The Thief of Always, Beloved, The Virgin Suicides, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Son of a Witch, The Time-Traveller's Wife, Cloud Atlas, Intensity, Tuck Everlasting, The Road, Fall on Your Knees, My Dream of You...
