I think we are finally going to take the step and build a built in bookcase in our dining area one of our first projects of the year. We are going to use it as a room divider and I am excited because it's actually going to give me a bit of studio/office space on our main floor in our little house. I've been looking around for ideas and these were a few I just loved on Pinterest. I was going to buy bookshelves to use, but I think it would be much cheaper to build them ourselves, and we can really make them fit our space the way we need. Mine won't be as elaborate as any of these, but they are great for inspiration!
Now we just have to work up the guts to start it :)

So many beautiful samples. I have no doubt what you choose will be amazing and suit you and your home perfectly. Sending you BIG design vibes and positive thoughts for this project to go smoothly and turn out just as you wish it to be.
Love these examples! Living in a 1940s house means we have next to no storage, but we did build in some bookcases in our kitchen extension. Good luck!
We're doing the same thing. After the major gut job on our new place last spring/summer, I couldn't begin to think about having bookshelves installed. Now that the dust has settled and we are in, I can deal with it. I have been pinning some ideas, too.
I love all those samples and I can't wait to see what you choose! Good luck!
these are so pretty jen. i saw the ones you pinned too. love them. i think that is an awesome idea for that room. very exciting.
Wow those are just awesome ideas!! What a fun project!!
Love all of these beautiful shelving units! I'm sure you two will make yours just as perfect :) Can't wait to see all that you do in 2012. Always inspiring :)
I love the pictures you chose! I have wanted to do this in my living room since we moved into our house 7 years ago. Maybe you are just the inspiration I needed to do it1 :)
Happy New Year!
Beautiful inspiration. I love built ins, I would love a wall of books. Hugs and Happy New Year wishes!
Nice pics. Go for it,I always wanted them too but our house is too small! Can;t wait to see them...so hurry up! x0x0
These are beautiful images...love them all. What a great first project of 2012!

Love these images. Can't wait to see what you do.
Sounds like a great idea! My daughter's hubby is just finishing up building a bookcase for their playroom. They needed a larger one. It is nice to have a handy hubby!
Great idea! I'm so thankful that I had the forsight to ask for built ins when we remodeled. They MAKE the room. I had no idea I had so many books until I started to fill them up.
Happy New Year, Jen! I love all of these built-ins. Good luck with your big project - I'm sure you will be happy when all the work is over. p.s. I wore your black rosary necklace on my trip in NYC the whole time (not that I needed much protection as there were police officers absolutely everywhere!)
Those are beautiful!
Gorgeous, pinspirational (smile) examples. I want some built ins that are substantial and truly look built in. Not just like a bookshelf that I built by hand. We are slowly but surely getting there in out home office. These examples might get us a little closer.
