"Well-Ordered Perfection . . . "


Greetings,

Just feeling like I'm needing to organize.  Put away.  Place everything back in its appropriate place.  Put things where they go.  Straighten.  Catalogue.  Maybe this weekend I'll finally attack the bookcases in my library.  They could use a few hours of love and attention.

Beautiful!

While it may sound silly, my life changed after putting up 9 foot tall bookshelves on either side of the fireplace in our modest co-op here in Manhattan. There really is something about order and symmetry that makes the heart sing.
Thank you. I love that "love and attention." Applicable to so many areas of our lives besides organizing.coc

Scot: That first library that you showed - where is it?
I loved the round'ish "L" section's little jib door.
All the other pictures of the other libraries are just as wonderful, but that first picture is such an attention-grabber.
Best wishes to you.
Linda.
Karen, Enchanted, and Linda Ann -

That first image has been in my inspirational for ever - not sure where it was resourced from. Sorry!
