As a teacher my classroom library is my ultimate passion and I spent WAY too much money buying light wood children’s bookshelves for my classroom and filling them with 2,000 children’s books to recreate exactly the cozy feeling I had as a child for my students. I even catalogued every single book online and taught my kids how to be the weekly librarian and help their classmates check out books with a functional scanner. I probably need to get a life.

The darker wood was 100% the right call! I feel like the wood tone really helps make whole space feel sophisticated and calm no matter what color is going on with the books themselves. I hope you can continue to feel more settled about it, because it was the perfect choice. If I can make a few suggestions (which are probably already on your list anyway) that will help with your desire to make it feel cohesive - This space is calling out for a rug. Or even consider one rug peaking out from the bed and a smaller (even circular?) rug to help define the reading space once you do get the elusive chair. It will really help to define the zones and make that large of a room feel connected. Secondly, don't underestimate the power of white linen curtains. Even if you don't need them practically, which that many hard angular surfaces going on, curtains just make the whole space feel softer in ways that defy logic. Also, I'm assuming that they reason you have the bed + stands shifted that far over instead of centered on the wall is because of the door, but it looks like there is still a bit more room to shift them over? The closer you can move it to center on that wall will give more room for the desk and help it not feel so tight. I'm sure you've already thought about this stuff, but just thought I'd mention it in case. At any rate, this is looking GORGEOUS, and I'm so excited to see it keep going! Please do more home content as you're getting settled, even if it's not directly book-related!

I hope you'll be able to make it happen one day. Would creating your own miniature doll house/library bring you any joy or comfort? Cat/dog-sized version? I don't want to rub it in, so I'm sorry if I have. I've just noticed that when I come up with a smaller scale project that is within my reach, I feel a bit better, no matter how remote it is from the original dream version. Can't make my own furniture, for instance, but I've just sawn all the bits for my own knife organiser. Is that furniture? Nope, but do I feel better. It's like I've been able to scratch the itch finally. Best of luck to you!

Welcome Boots! We love you already! The shelf extenders will not only provide more space but will also help the wardrobe feel more intentional. The space above the dresser is also screaming for a shelf for Boots so they can enjoy the sunshine in the window. Those windows make this whole room work. Without the daylight it would be too dark but the light and the plant… it works so well! If you don’t do a shelf over the dresser, please add a mirror or piece of art. I’d also recommend an area rug. It’ll be cozy on your feet at night and it’ll help soften sound.

Yes, move the bed to between the windows. Put nightstands on either side and if you’re allowed to hang some drapes. Move the cabinet case to the right side of the wall the bed used to be on, and put the desk next to that. Move the bookcase behind the door over into the cabinet case’s spot and leave the dresser/credenza where you have it. Get some rugs in there too and some appropriate art over the bed, dresser, and desk. You could even mount a mirror on the wall space behind the door but make sure to put in a stop so that door doesn’t open up all the way and smash it or the edge of the bookcase. Looks like you have a fantastic view and a beautiful space to live in. ❤ Also, if you’re allowed to paint, do the wall space above the rail and ceiling slightly darker in shade than the walls, this will help the ceiling feel closer but not closed in.

I would just switch around the desk and the dresser (or whatever you call that bit of furniture with the typewriter on it). That way you have more room behind you to get in and out of your desk chair without hitting the bed behind you. And if the desk is where the dresser is, the window would be to your left, and your bookshelves to your right. That way you get a view of the outside world, plus a view of the bookshelves (rather than having your back to the lovely bookshelves). Then you also get better natural lighting for when you're writing at your desk if the window is to the side rather than in front, so you don't get that blinding contrast.

I'm a German so imma complain! - The shelves need to be attached to the wall asap. That's a literal ton of books waiting to fall onto you and crush you when A) you reach for them B) run walk against the shelf at night C) an earthquake happens. England is mostly earthquake free, but some areas like London do have moderate risk. - The now inaccessible extension chord behind those shelves will definitely become a fire hazard over the next years of poor ventilation and especially because you're gonna pull on it every now and then. Cutting a hole in the back of the shelf for access to the socket is the usual MO. - Books in the bedroom are a risk for the books. You breathe and sweat and that's moist. You're asking for mold. - The windows are gonna bleach your spines. - Books in the bedroom are a health risk. Once they get moldy on the wall-facing side, you won't notice for years. But you'll breathe the spores. - If heaven forbid there's ever a fire in your building while you're in that library, you. are. dead. Of course, consciously ignoring any or all of these risks is your good right 👍🏻 Just making sure it is a conscious decision

The room as it looks like right now is very similar (though about twice as big) to the room I grew up in back home. Yes, the power sockets were behind the bookshelves full of pretty old books. Yes, there most likely was mold. Yes, the bookshelves were not attached to the wall, and also full of books and almost ceiling high. That was the room I stayed in as a toddler (basically since I was born, until I moved out at 18)... I think I wasted all my survival skills in my early childhood, that's why I'm such a hazard to myself now. No other possible explanation.

Wait, so where are people who live in apartments supposed to keep their books? I have *always* kept all my books in my bedroom, as that's the only space I've ever had for them. I don't have as many books as Jack, but I do have a few shelves full. I have never gotten mold in my books, either, and have never once thought that could be a thing. I know the UK does have a general damp/mold problem though so that's probably more a possibility here than it is for me. Just kind of blown away that books in a bedroom is seen as such a health and safety hazard when I have never once considered it.

Love the tall ceiling, the huge windows, the natural lighting, and all the new bookshelves. What a cozy room and you have nice furniture! I hope you anchor the bookshelves to the wall, to be safe, so that you don't accidentally get murdered by books if one topples over.

Looks absolutely amazing. I suggest getting some sort of UV filter on your windows to protect the books and shelves. Not sure what is available to you there, but could be worth it.

Omg i think the bed would look so much better against the window wall!!!! It would make the room so much more symmetrical, and would make it a center piece to accentuate the beautiful bed. Ur furniture is gorgeous

Anchor those bad girls to the walls, Sir!! 😂 Really love how this turned out, it’s absolutely stunning and I love the colours!! 🖤👻💖

I love the vibe of your bed-library!! I think the idea to switch the bed and desk is very good, because currently the bed is standing right where you’d walk through the room to the window, and it’s blocking the natural pathways in the room. If it was inbetween the windows the desk would have more space to sit at and the bed would seperate the reading corner and the desk space a bit!

23:08 about the reshuffle, I was gonna mention it but until this minute on the video you didn't ask SO: basically, if you put the bed between the windows and the table on the other wall, you will always have a view of the door, which not only feng shui endorses, but also makes the room feel more flowy and less "blocky", you can pretty much access anywhere without having to walk sideways or anything my room has a similar layout and I was very hesitant to make a similar change and oh boy did it change my life, hope you try it out, if it doesn't work, at least you can move it back! Also, happy to see you happy

there's nothing more satisfying to me than a freshly organized bookshelf ✨ I just assembled my first bookcase this past week to hold my entire book collection (125 books & growing!) and I'm so obsessed with it, I just sit in front of it every day and admire my teeny tiny lil library 📚

All my favorite KZbinrs posted about moving and the stress and dread it causes. In the midst of my own move, the shared experience was so comforting! I thought the same thing about my next hobbies…because books and crafts are TOO heavy! 🤣 Loved this video so much. The new library looks amazing.

I, too, made my apartment into a book sanctuary. People walk in and comment on it every time, and I'm just here living the dream. (Also, please attach the shelves, I don't want to read about you being injured by a falling booshelf!)

I like the color of the bookshelves. I would suggest getting the bookshelf you want now while the color is still available, but also so that when the sun fades them a bit they'll match. I like the idea of matching the door one on the other side. Esp. since you have the room.

Yes!! Headboard moved to the middle with the bedside tables on either side. I vote curtains too (it will tie everything together so nicely!) I also vote to put the desk where the bed is but feel much less strongly on that. (I feel very strongly about the bed)

Love the colours of the wood and furnishings. Just need a nice rug or two, some curtains or blinds, and some pictures (maybe above the bed and the typewriter). A shelf in a matching wood colour above the desk to display your award as a final touch. Remember not to leave your magnifying glass near the windows or direct sunlight. Have a great week. 🙂
