I especially loved this one from the second link above. The caption reads....
Vintage Shelf is an original shelf created by Jaren Goh Design for Munkii. A reminiscence of the classic design, embodied within a modern contemporary form. It brings back the classic design and fits it seamlessly into the modern homes of today. A unison of the past and the present.

I love the stair bookcase and the ceiling book case. While lots of the designs were clever, those two could be easily incorporated into a house and hold lots of books.

LOL, all I could think of while looking at some of those was..."wow, imagine having to move all those books and dust the shelves!"

It is more important to book lovers to have shelves full of books than to think about dusting the shelves!

OMG I don't remove all the books to dust! I use a 360swiffer on the front, tops and around the books on the shelves.

That would be a major undertaking if I had to remove them.

BTW...look at that wall panel in the first photo...now tell me how to dust THAT! LOL!

Maybe a leaf blower? Razz
