Bookish decorations or I'm finally unpacking

Boyfriend and I are finally getting around to unpacking. We got all of the big things unpacked, but the little things and the decorations has just sat in boxes. A lot of them are still sitting in boxes but we did manage to get some work done this weekend. Including, most importantly, getting my Gatsby poster up!

Best decoration? Yup. Actually we didn't get any pictures hung up until this one.

I also got the books unpacked! Well some of them. How have I managed NOT having my books out? Mostly by buying new ones. Because I'm a responsible adult like that. Also, I'm pretty sure the books multiplied while they were in boxes because I have several boxes of books left (and 1 giant suitcase), yet I'm out of bookcase space. Whoops.

Nothing makes a house a home like bookshelves. Bookshelves filled with books.

Thank ya! I was so excited when I got the poster and then it sat in the container for a couple months till we finally got around to getting a frame and then actually putting it up. But I love it!

When I was writing this I was like "I wonder if people are like wtf are you doing? Why do I care?" but I posted anyway (obv) because I really wanted to share my excitement for that poster. And then I was overly proud of myself for actually unpacking books/cleaning up the new books that were strewn on every flat surface.

I am always out of bookshelf space. When we moved a year ago I had three shelves spare (which felt good), but of course I had to fill them and then some!

Love the poster :)

Thank ya! There was a very brief period a few years ago where I was good on bookshelf space, but I messed that up pretty quickly. I'm sure once we get some new ones I'll quickly fill them as well.

We got that same poster for my brother-in-law. I love it.

Amazon or someone needs to start selling e-Book and Real Book bundles so I can read something on my Kindle but still have an awesome book shelf. It's only common courtesy!

I would LOVE bundled books. Because I love having books on my shelves but I also like being able to read books on my Kindle. So far I've only bought 1 book on both Kindle and real book. Couldn't be helped

"Nothing makes a house a home like bookshelves. Bookshelves filled with books." Couldn't agree more!!

I really think bookshelves filled with books make some of the best decorations.

Yayyyy pictures!! Although I'm gonna need some close-ups of those shelves, madam. How else am I to scrutinize your books?

Maybe once I get them organized I'll take some closer pictures. So far it was just Get out of the box! Get onto the shelf! Go Go Go!!

Also in the picture with the green wall, the books in the left shelf are Boyfriend's. His are mixed in elsewhere as well, but that shelf is all his. Hence the ESPN books.
