Helloo !
As you should have noticed with the title, it’s yet again the time for our biweekly international meme ! 😄 This prompt shall be quite interresting to read all the other’s as it is what our dream library would be like !
What is it exactly ?
- We have a discord group of internationnal bloggers; all of us being, you would guess it, in other places in the world other than US. (let me know if you wanna join, i’ll point you to the person to contact)
- Ayla, from Books and Babbles, decided upon creating a meme for us to participate in and see our point of view for each prompt that you can check on her blog following the link I included.
- Point to this is to support fellow internationnal bloggers, like us, and she will link each of our post in her original post under the right prompt so it’s all in one place and easy to track !
rather than going for library as in terms of “public space”, i’m gonna talk about it as a private library kind of thing in my own house; as honestly I always dreamt of that one and .. I haven’t really thought of what I would like for a public space, to be honest with you.
That being said, here’s what i’d want if I could get a “big enough house” all to myself in the future;
✮ Of course, i’d like a whole room dedicated to my beloved books. Shelves on all walls except one; as it would had one of thoses big windows that have a kind of bench you can sit on “inside” ? I still don’t know how thoses are supposed to be called.. *aherm* hopefully you’ll get what I mean.
✮ As my heart belong to the sea, the view’s from that window will be looking from a cliff to the sea, maybe a waterfall or something alike. I haven’t thought of what precisely, but something ocean-related; as I wanna open my window a tad to sea air and seagull flying. Everything just seems better when I am surrounded by ocean air.
✮ Aside from the windowsil’s bench, which will be covered by blankets and pillows so I can get comfortable, My room will also have a seat hooked from the ceiling that I can rock in with a good old footlamp beside it so I can read comfy when the sun ain’t out anymore. As you know how I love reading in the middle of the night. heheh.
✮ Plants !! Okay, I don’t have much of thoses for now .. but I do wanna have plants hooked from the ceilings, somes on the floor, decorative flowers on the shelves… souvenirs/pictures on some of the shelves aswell … Just some things for my room to feel cosy, peaceful and welcoming. Probably having a “fake” electric fireplace somewhere, nothing that could set my books on fire, dear god, but something to keep myself lit & heated. (im cold pretty often .. which oppose my love of the sea air, eh ? xD )
✮ Finally, i’d like my desk to be inside aswell. a “blogging corner” with my computer, another tiny lamp, stationnaries (Bujo included, pens ..) and a comfortable seat for me to sit while bloghopping, write posts or reviews.. etc. and just because I want that to be MY heaven room, no one can really enter apart of the weeins heheh .. sure you can come browse and pick something off my shelves to borrow (english and french books would be displayed) or read/chill with me if you like; but as I need quiet, you will be kicked off if you try to speak to me too much while trying to read 😂
Hopefully you’ll get a nice image of what I was trying to imagine, as I know this isn’t one of my strenght there .. ahah I’m struggling with the “image” of where everything would be precisely but I have a few criterias I would love to have, as you can see.
What do you think of my room ? Anything you would like to add ?
What would yours look like if you had the chance to ?
What a great meme. I love the sound of your library, a window seat with cosy cushions sounds perfect. I would choose a personal library instead of a public one too, if I can describe anything I want. I would add a fridge and a few cats! 😉
Amanda. xx
OH, yes, good thinking ! no need to drive away from books when needing to eat, heheh ..
I can see it, cats monopolising the shelves !! hopefully they wouldnt knock everything down ahah, I’ll stick to wiener dogs.. 😘
I would really like to join your international bloggers group if possible 🙊
I love window seats! I would love mine with a bay window. Your room sounds pretty perfect. Maybe a library ladder that slides around the room….
yeeees indeed ! gotta reach the top shelves somehow, heheh
That is literally my dream!
I think most readers have a thing about window seats!
yeps, looks like we do ! ahah I have seen it from a few others before !
Sounds awesome! In my flat i currently rent, i have a whole wall that is a window. It looks to a ratty lil’ garden tho… 😂
I’m a known plant killer, so probably need to get fake ones…
ahaha uhoh .. surely there should be some kind of plant you can have, like a cacti or something alike ? or just go fake, that works aswell ahaha I have one too in my room xD too dark to keep anything living in there ..
Back in the day i was known to kill a cactus… 😀 it literally dried out, the poor thing. Others got overwatered… * sigh *
oh no… well, I killed a bonsai … so eeeeh… I shouldnt laugh too much xD
Your library dreams are really tempting 😋 I would love to have an ocean view.
Also, I would like yo have special editions in my library.. with beautiful collectors ❤️
oooh yees.. plenty of beautiful covers on display
Oh I just love this meme. I was talking to my dad today about how much I would love a personal library for myself as well. Shelves upon shelves of books. Like you, I think I would like some plants in there too. That view you would choose would be breath taking to look outside of while you’re reading 😀
My recent post: http://oliviascatastrophe.com/2018/04/sunflowers-in-february-book-review/
yes !! Either that or a nicely done garden with a pergola, bird bath, etc..
Your home library sounds amazing. Home library with an amazing view is my dream too. <3
Bujos are the best! Ah!
Yes!! Im so glad I decided to take the plunge
