WHEN YOUR

MOTHER IS

A LIBRARIAN ...

you grow up with a lot

of books. I was set on

keeping up the tradition

by having a little library.

STUDY SPOT

I made a desk from

two file cabinets and

a countertop so my son

can do his homework

while I read.

BOOKSHELVES

I cobbled together

four vintage barrister

cabinets. They were

different depths and

heights, but modification

was pretty simple.

An oak top ties them

together. I spent

about $1,000 on the

bookshelves, about

half the price (and twice

the character) of a

custom piece. n

Next month

We’ll zoom in on

the space between

Rosa’s living room

and sunroom—the

storage-filled

kitchen.
