What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Margaret Everton to Mimicking Montauk
Even an official library can be laid back, with light wood, a chaise lounge or fainting couch, and an absence of formal "knick-knacks."
added by Margaret Everton to Celebrate the Look of Wear
Older worn pieces like this rug and chaise lounge infuse a refined library with a sense of luxury. It's the kind of room that seems to have been passed down from generation to generation.
added by John Hill to 24 Amazing Walls of Books
This books in the corner of this library extend past the soffit (seen at left) to the underside of the clerestory windows that also wrap the corner; this necessitates a ladder for reaching the higher shelves.

These shelves are not built in - I think they merely fit neatly. This would perhaps be a better option which would allow for relocating if necessary.
