Tiny Home Library : It's Possible!
Think your home is too small to have a library? I just might prove you wrong! Plus, I did it in a small 1,500 foot rental home! This means I had to get extra creative. It’s just Roy and I, but I managed to fit a music studio for Roy, an office for me, a photography studio area, an exercise area, a craft room and a library all into the 1,400 square feet. My library nook is the one I’m most proud of.
The key? Standing bookshelves used as walls. I converted a dining room into a library on one side and craft room on the other by utilizing tall cheaper bookshelves as room dividers. Though the library portion is fairly tiny (I refer to it as my library "nook") it’s still large enough to fit in an awesome old wood chair my daughter made over for me and a lamp to read by. I added some really fun decor items and all my shelves are labeled by categories using gold labels.

Have a question about this project?
What did you do to keep them from toppling over? I know we should always secure them to walls, so did you secure them to the floor??
