I’ve been trying to find time to knock together these rickety-assed shelves for weeks, and finally managed it last weekend. I opted to use a couple of shelf brackets to stabilize them, instead of plywood backs or swaybars. Eventually, they’ll get a coat of paint and proper backs, but for now, they’re functional. Hallelujah! I was sick and tired of piles of boxes of books everywhere.
Our lovely spokesmodel is Pandora, who, with the perversity inherent in all cats, chose to take a bath while I was taking the first photo. Pandora has perfected the art of being exactly where you don’t want her, at the precise moment when you least want her there. She also has a death wish, in which she indulges by way of flopping around on top of the dog’s bones and chewy toys. Harriet isn’t the most patient or tolerant of dogs, so I think she deserves some sort of medal for not putting the smackdown on Pandora.
(And, yes, I do have lots of kiddie books.)
