My Bookshelf Tour and Home Library + the books that made me who I am
Please share with me what you are currently reading! Today I am re-making my home library! I made a home library video about 6 months ago, but since then my husband has made me some custom bookshelves, made with raw wood edges and handcrafted pine. It smells lovely and I am so excited to organize my shelves and give you a bookshelf tour, sharing a bit of my collection. I have a mixture of fiction, fantasy, graphic novels, spiritual books, history books, and classics. I have a collection of poetry and literature from my academic days, but decided that that could make a separate video someday. I hope you enjoy it! Sending much love, Paola

your husband making you the most beautiful shelves ive ever seen is THE DEFINITION of “if he wanted to, he would” you’re lucky to have found each other

@CameoFarmer Год назад

Oh thank you for this. My family is fighting tonight and this is just what I need to check out and not listen to them.

After a long, busy night shift on a cancer ward, this was the breath of fresh air that I needed to quiet my soul. I love absolutely love my nursing career. Some shifts are truly heartbreaking, but strangely, always uplifting and inspiring too in its own way. Much 💗 from Australia 🇦🇺 😌

I love how Luke is holding a space and combining his creative energy with yours . It's like beautiful filigree around a softly glowing moonstone.

@amandamagni1606 Год назад

Love you so much. However, it broke my heart to see what seems to be the Bible being the only book turned backwards… 💔 I understand and maybe you only keep it for sentimental reasons but that’s still something to embrace. I hope I’m wrong about this but I just couldn’t help but share..

@MsScuppers Год назад

I absolutely love the new book shelves that Luke made for you. Beautiful!! As a retired teacher-librarian your love of books since childhood warms my heart. I too believe that books discovered and loved as a child can work their magic throughout one's life. Sending you much love from Victoria, B.C. Canada.

When I was a child I lived in my world of books. Then I became an adult and lived in the “regular” world. Now I am relearning how to live in my amazing, calm book world.

@kimpeasester Год назад

YOU KNOW WHAT I NOTICED?? WHAT?WHAT? Thru all your fantastic videos, I just finally realized that everything about "Books" has gotten you the most talkative and excited!! So if you are in a slump, pondering over what kind of video to make, whip out a book or two and take us all on a journey. Yes, books are magical and probably the best gift to give alongside a vigorous growing plant.

Your bookshelves are so beautiful. Your husband is very talented and has the vision to see the beauty hiding within those pieces of wood. Once you moved your books and plants etc. into the space, it looked like it had been that way forever. I love books and I love those shelves.

@LouiseAdie-zm2jf Год назад

Luke's vision is so married to yours. He understands, he gets it. You are so lucky to have found each other. His use of live-edge wood for the bookshelves makes it so magical. You're right, it's like a fairy library and the way you have it organized and arranged does indeed make it feel like it's always been there. Comfort in books is so important. Mavi made me crack up. I strained my eyes and craned my neck to see where Beatrix Potter's books ended up. Very honored company, indeed. Thank you for your soft and light energy, it's just what I needed this morning. Blessings on your and your little family.

At some point I stopped thinking about "becoming my best self", a version of me that was always somewhere in a land far away that I would never get to, and just started honoring myself, whoever that was/is at that moment in time. No one is static and "best selves" are illusions to keep us chasing things that often end up hollowing out our actual selves. The great thing about children's books is that they, in my opinion, really celebrate the little imperfect asynchronies in ourselves and our lives.

Luke is so Amazing to make your vision and dreams of the perfect Bookshelf’s 📚 come true ….Luke is a Great carpenter indeed ….I adore your new magical bookshelf’s so earthy and natural

@sharonbrown2352 Год назад

Those bookshelves are so beautiful! Luke did an amazing job.

@kristydavies1665 Год назад

For gardeners I was gifted a book called The Well Gardened Mind. It was very impactful and moving. The writer is a psychiatrist who came to gardening through raising her family. The author Sue Stuart-Smith works with veterans with PTSD and other presentations as well as communities. It’s sounds dry but at times I was moved to tears with the beauty and honesty of her writing.

@rhondabeaman1 Год назад

I love the unique look of your new library as well as the help and supervision of Mavi! It was so sweet of Luke to work with your vision and create with you! Oh how I love your expressive and artistic videos!❤

@user-hf1ys4rr5h Год назад

Luke did an exceptional job with your new bookcase. The bark edge is exquisite, your cat has a lovely fluffy tail and your dog looks at you with those soft intelligent, understanding eyes that know more about you than you even know. You are indeed very much cared for and that is a tremendous blessing.

@Kate42 Год назад

Your husband did an amazing job on your bookshelf! It does have a very natural and fairy-like presence to it. I love it! It fits your home so perfectly!🌹🌹🥀🌺🌻🌷

@kimmberlie573 Год назад

Stunning. The bookshelf couldn’t be more beautiful. What a great job Luke did. Enjoy.

"Cottage Fairy Companion," by my favorite fairy. "The Meadow," James Galvin (from the library). "All Creatures Great and Small," James Herriot (wedding present from my husband 35.5 years ago ♥️, reading the series again). My favorite books as a kid were all the Black Stallion and Island Stallion books. Your live edge shelves are gorgeous!
