With Operation Spending Freeze in full effect, the light at the end of the tunnel {our house!} is what makes this void worthwhile! We had our first meeting with our builder last Saturday--and I am itching to get back his first draft of our humble abode. When we met with him, I printed my dream home and fanciful features pinterest boards to share a little of our taste. The builder picked out one common theme from my pins--my absolute adoration of built-in bookshelves. Here is a collage of my favorites...

Be it in a hallway, staircase, or nook...you name it, I love a good built-in. Though our builder informed us they do take up some square footage, I see them as automatic furniture ;)
Can't wait to see you all back here tomorrow for a spring fever edition of Friday's Fancies--if you want in on the fun, just email me and I'll add you to the list! Enjoy your Thursday, friends!

We has built-ins put in last year! My husband thought it was such a random way to spend money until he saw the final product and realized how much extra storage we have now. Plus they are gorgeous! These photos are a perfect selection.

I loooove built-in bookcases! If it were up to me I think all my walls would have at least one. I'm a total bibliophile.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today! Love your blog. :)
I WANT BUILT INS!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those! I'm kind of obsessed with the locker looking ones and the window seat! My dream house will be absolutely full of window seats!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I love built in bookshelves too, but the real standout in the post is the little note at the bottom... :) Thanks again for hosting this and Local Hem for being so generous! I'm skimming the site now trying to figure out how I'm going to choose!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am dying for some built ins! They would be ideal in our office space but we can't justify the cost just to turn around and sell the place. Those are some great options!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the house talk!

I love built-in bookshelves, but there is nothing like a window seat - or bed! Reminds me of being a little girl and of Jane Eyre :) Your house will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOVE built-in bookshelves!!
ReplyDeleteI love built ins - some of these nooks are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMy husband built our home and did a built in libary wall for me, a china cabinet and our bedroom closet/shelves/drawers.
And he built a captains bed with beautiful drawers for our guest room.
Such a neat way to personalize things and have something unique.
I LOVE built-ins! It is my dream someday, when I own a home, to build shelves into every nook and cranny, haha.
ReplyDeleteThose little nooks with built in bookcases are too cute!!

I LOVE these images so much! You definitely need built-ins, who cares how much sq. footage they take up? They're a necessity! They look so beautiful and classic and just perfect. They're so special because they're custom made, for your home. Are you getting a reading nook as well? That's been a dream of mine forever. So cozy and inviting.
