take that dream off the shelf

I've never been completey satisfied with the shelving situation in my home. The lad and I both owned a lot of books, but we had very different dreams about how those books should be displayed. Hardly a shocking revelation. Needless to say, the solution we did decide upon was practical and affordable, but although not displeasing aesthetically it only just fit our book collection (when they were doubled up and very tightly packed). Now the shelves are not so tightly packed and I continue to dream about the day when I can afford to redo that part of the house. Add a little colourful and eclectic flair to an otherwise cold space.
