room by room - living room boxes

so a majority of the boxes in my living room were filled with books. this was no surprise. what came as a surprise is how much shelf space all of this would take. i didn’t know what else to do with the books as i was unpacking them so i just lined them up (as i currently have no shelf space).

this is what it turned out to be. eleven feet and 3 inches of books. i can’t believe i have to buy that much shelving. and that’s just the regular reading books, and does not include sketchbooks, oversized art books, magazines, notebooks, cookbooks, and school binders. not to mention all the knickknacks that always find their way onto bookshelves. i’m thinking i’ll just double the length for good measure; at the very least it’ll provide additional space for buying additional books. heehee…
