Consider that if your shelves are not all packed when you want to buy another book no one can say "but where will you put it?"
You see? This is a good one.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough. -
On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.With some digging I found some good "book advice"
1. Most ready-made book shelves are too dinky and small. If you have books you need floor to ceiling shelves. Replace short bookshelves.
2. Never fill the shelf all the way. This means you need more shelves AND bookends, but it makes everything look less congested and is worth it.
3. Get deep enough shelves so you can do the spines in a line like the library.
4. Your large format books need a home. A coffee table with two levels can help. -

For example I don't think I'm that strange or remarkable for owning about 800 books. I know a lot of people with more. (I have SOME restraint) But if you look for design ideas for books it's not like "here is where you can put all those books" it's more like "get these fake books for this look" --or it's "design a home library." my brother in Christ WHERE.

None of the kitchens in the "small kitchens design ideas" are as small as my kitchen.Interior Designer: "Consider your color pallet"
Me: "OK I've got my color pallet right here and I'm considering it."
"Really?"
"Oh yeah. Color pallet. I'm on it. Have one."
"Can I see it?"
"No."
"That's just a color wheel."
"AND?" -

My kitchen is pretty luxurious. It has a high ceiling and a sky light. Built-in original cabinets to the ceiling. It's also basically a short hall way with a sink, stove and fridge.
In a suburban home it'd be called a "kitchenette" or something like that.
Island? What is that?
"statement piece" brother we have no room for "statements" in this hall. -
"The Bruce" is a remarkable little Natural History and Art museum in Greenwich, CT.I know this sounds tame, but it was not. It was total chaos in there and I will need to think about this the next time I'm in my kayak.

"The Bruce" is a remarkable little Natural History and Art museum in Greenwich, CT.I should say more about the "fish" ...
They had a "Long Island Sound" fish tank, it was huge with circulating water and it was full of the most wacky fishes I've ever seen.
I had NO IDEA there were goofballs like this in long island sound:
The tank was very active and the fish would LOOK AT YOU.

"The Bruce" is a remarkable little Natural History and Art museum in Greenwich, CT.Don't miss it! There were so many amazing (and very accurate) models. I thought at first "why do I need to see a model when I've seen a thousand photos of these ants?" But you get a whole new perspective.
Get to Greenwich by May or you'll miss it! You will miss "Hormiga Balrog"

RE: https://social.linux.pizza/@detondev/115562214306078271I assume I would hear a cat pounding on the door and meowing mournfully since I have gone in The Water and will probably die and not be able to feed her because of it.
I don't think a #PicaTheCat proof door or type of insulation exists.

"The Bruce" is a remarkable little Natural History and Art museum in Greenwich, CT.There were many large format photos by @alexwild I wonder if they will send this on tour to other Natural History museums.
Getting to see the nest models in person was the highlight for me. I've only seen photos of them in books.
And of course the giant ants.

"The Bruce" is a remarkable little Natural History and Art museum in Greenwich, CT.The one that looks like pancakes? That's Pogonomyrmex badius, FL harvester ants. They have massive nests. That's not even a big one...

"The Bruce" is a remarkable little Natural History and Art museum in Greenwich, CT.That said, since the nests weren't labeled I enjoyed working out which species went with each nest, maybe it could be a kind of game.
Put a button by each species card and the correct nest lights up!
