Getting a new bookcase!

I don't know about you but I really need a new bookcase. My house is relatively small and filled with mostly hand-me-down furniture. And since most of the people I know are not big readers, no one is handing me down any bookcases.

My sister promised to give me the beautiful barrister bookcases she had in her house and I was so excited about that. Then she decided to move them to her basement instead. Oh, the horror!

My uncle gave me a lovely small china closet a few years back. Books would fit in beautifully, but of course my china is in there - and I DO so love my china!

I also have a small rolling file cabinet that I got from work when we moved offices. I use as an end table in my living room - it is completely filled with books both inside and on top.

All of Kiddo's books are on a big, white bookcase in my living room. Why is it that HE gets the good space?! Well, that's because kids books are notoriously hard to stack ... unlike my own books, which stack perfectly well.

So you can imagine my excitement when I was offered a brand new bookcase - of my own choosing - for free!!! Oh the joy!!!

CSN Office Furniture is looking to expand their customer base and they reached out to bloggers to help do that. Kudos to them for seeing the potential in blogs! I was really excited to browse their site and see if there was anything that would work for me.

Can I tell you that I'm completely impressed?! My wish list for office furniture is about a mile long now. If they gave me an unlimited budget for this promotion, here are the things I might want to order:




Of course that is not to be because we are NOT dreaming. :) Getting back to reality ...


I chose a very reasonably priced bookshelf that will go perfectly in my living room. I can't wait for it to arrive! My new treasure stands 5' tall and will give me almost 200" of additional shelf space - woohoo!

You can bet that I'll be putting it together as soon as it arrives. I'll try to remember to take pictures of the putting-together process for you but there's no guarantees there - I might be too excited. I will DEFINITELY take a picture of it when it is loaded up with books though!


If you are considering a new bookshelf, entertainment center, or office furniture of any type, I encourage you to check out CSN Office Furniture. Their website is easy to navigate, their products are gorgeous, they offer free shipping on most items, and they have lots of items on sale (and SALE is always a good word). Plus they are blogger-friendly and we should definitely thank them for that!
