Of course when I think of it logically I think, it can be done anyway you want.<br /><br />I'm not sure what I would do because it depends on the resale value of the house. It seems that most don't appreciate reading anymore. I'm so indecisive *sigh*<br /><br />I'm going to say "both" and "it depends."Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745513625965620545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357429589208132.post-13917261678120565922011-03-24T16:44:33.777-04:002011-03-24T16:44:33.777-04:00I LOVE built-ins.

I have several pics saved for when we build our next house, we will have a dedicated library and I could not be giddier. <br /><br />While some bookcases are pretty, I think on the whole built-ins always look nicer.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135614217977576904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357429589208132.post-32062951570066692532011-03-24T11:41:10.848-04:002011-03-24T11:41:10.848-04:00What a great post.

If I intended to stay in my house for many years, then heck with resale - I'll build the built ins.Annette Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850197520930988077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357429589208132.post-87316655348091021782011-03-24T10:00:10.101-04:002011-03-24T10:00:10.101-04:00I like both, really.

I'd love to live in a place that had built-in bookshelves, but knowing the way I collect books, I think I'd have to have an entire room with built-in bookshelves to hold everything without me needed to get some standalones anyway! They each have their conveniences!Bibliotropichttp://bibliotropic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357429589208132.post-46813684457248999802011-03-24T09:58:04.148-04:002011-03-24T09:58:04.148-04:00My husband and I are getting ready to decide on ou...My husband and I are getting ready to decide on our floor plans.

Plus they have some great designs.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549790893415179900noreply@blogger.com
