I moved recently... tracking away from a home on the lake with fabulous views to a home in town. There's a lot to be said about moving into town - my husband and I'll be spending much less time maintaining out outside space since the lot size is of course, town-size. We've been under extreme renovations since the move in August and now the main floor is complete.
My favourite room in the house is the library. Do I spend tons of time there? Not quite as much as I'd like. Based on the Feng Shui bagua, my library is in the area of my house that would be about health, family and community. So it's appropriate within that space that I have a massage chair which certainly focuses on the health of my body (and my husband's), and a number of pictures of family members who I don't see very often. Probably one of my favourite things also about this room is the colour - it's a very dark, warm brown - accented by white shelving. There's a healthy plant under the window, in the fame, reputation & social life part of the bagua, plus appropriate other items which highlight what I want highlighted in my life.
So far, my books are higgly piggly all over the place. I've not yet had the time to organize them as I like, which is alphabetically by author. No... I'm not anal... I just like finding what I like to find without wasting time. I'm pretty careful with my books - if they've been read and I'll either read them again or would like to keep them for someone else to read, I'll keep them. If they've been read and I'll never read them again, they go to the local library fundraiser sale. Of course, I'm looking forward to a new e-reader from my honey (he has no secrets LOL).
Love, love, love my library.
