Floating Bookshelves

By now, the kids have gone back to school and their little noses are in the books, reading away and studying for that first test. I love to read, a good escape is always nice. You don't have to board a plane, to be worlds away with a good book. You can be on the tropical beaches of Hawaii, a few paragraphs in. And I've collected a few good books over the years, "And now, where to store them all?" If you have a empty wall and a bulky bookshelf doesn't seem to be a good solution, floating book shelves can be the answer. It's getting chilly out, get ready to get to cuddle up with a blanket and a good book! Enjoy! :)

I love these floating shelves by Umbra, they are absolutely awesome! They look like they are really floating and the books are kept intact by a little lip, that holds the book securely. The website shows you how it works. You can check it out and buy them at http://www.umbra.com/ustore/product/330638-560.store. They come in two sizes, small and large. But I've found that the small works as well with large books also. The small size fits standard novel size, about 6" across but also fits larger books 9" across, with no problem. You can design your own book shelf this way or with rows across, down, or any way that makes you happy!
