Help, too many windows and where to put bookshelves? New construction

Jeff Smith
6 years ago

As you can see from attached images there's almost no wall space, so where can we put our hundreds of beloved books? Also might like some kind of cozy reading nook in LR, and we sort of forgot about that, too.


This floor plan picture shows the LR (great room), which has a shed roof, which has taller end near bank of sliding doors (with windows above in yellow). That wall faces the view, but has no room for bookshelves. The ceiling has exposed wood beams and a big i-beam going the other way, as shown. The fireplace is 11 ft at base and slopes up and is stone.


The wall at top of picture is a possible location but the barn door burns up 4' 6" of wall to the right.

House is currently being framed so we have time to plan for built-in bookshelves or portable shelves.

As you can see the kitchen is adjacent to LR and with no walls in-between. At lower right is a second main-level bedroom & powder. The DR has no wall, except about 3 feet.



Ideas welcome!! Thanks
