Floor-to-Ceiling Breyer Horses | books into a model horse library! 

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much! We got lucky when we bought this (older) house; it has a large living room and my dad is a contractor so I begged for shelves! I've always wanted some like this. ❤

Thank you!

Lol. Yes, here on these shelves are the culture and ways of humanity. 😅 You should try it! I recommend asking for help; I had no idea it was such an undertaking! Haha. The books are all back now, but I'm considering the 50/50 Breyer/books split!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!

We're really lucky to have this home and bright space. We bought an older house, and my dad is a contractor who helped us fix it up. Honestly, the backyard and that wall (where there was once a strange set of doors) is what sold me on the home. I imagined all my books living on that wall, so bookshelves were built. I love it! That's really neat you once worked in a bookstore. That was always a dream of mine. Maybe one day I'll still have a chance to try it. And yes: my family was so great to come and help! I never imagined how much effort it would be until we got started (and tried to stay organized). I might have to go back to the 50/50 books/Breyer split because I liked that too!

Thanks so much! It's so satisfying to see a collection nicely organized. Did your books go off to a new home or just a different place with you?

😊

Thank you! I do plan on doing a collection tour eventually! ❤

Thank you!! My family was so nice to help; I was totally surprised it turned into an all-day thing even with several hands. And I kinda like the look of halvsies too! I may have to put it back to that.. 😊

Oh yay! I'm so happy you noticed!! They're so much easier to admire when you can actually see them. I hear you on "where to put the books" part... mini lived in little towers on the living room carpet until they reclaimed their place on this shelf. I was immediately reverted back to the "now where do I put my horses?!" conundrum. Haha!

Thank you so much! The books actually lived in temporary piles all along the wall behind the camera. Once the models were wrapped back up and put in "storage," the books went back to their shelves. It was much safer that way--for books AND ponies--since I've got two young kids and a big rowdy dog. 😅 Eventually I'll have some shelves where my models can stay all the time!
