You're attention to detail is astounding, regardless the non-conforming tile ... mistakes like this always happen to me, and, following my own bad advice, I try to fix them anyway resulting in many mini disasters that cause even more work in the long run! A doggie bed should work well ... and what pooch wouldn't feel entirely pampered in a room as lovely as this.Monica Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159484419991416401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198244122082759584.post-45193560580266209252011-12-02T13:01:26.212-08:002011-12-02T13:01:26.212-08:00Hello everyone,
I apologize for not answering your...Hello everyone,<br />I apologize for not answering your comments earlier. t's been a crazy couple of weeks...but then again they always seem to be. Welcme to all my new friends. <br />Thank you all for taking the time to comment on my work. I'm happy the bookcase instructions were helpfull and gave people ideas.<br /><br />I actually bought 2 book kits years ago. The center part is a piece of bassewood you cut to the height of the books, and the exterior is embosses cardboard. They look very realistic...I just wish I could find it for sale again as I'll need more books.<br /><br />I tried to cut out the one tile and replace it, but I'm afraid the cardboard subfloor underneath might rip and bring up the tiles around it...i figured I'd rather not risk making the problem bigger.<br />I have a few ideas for the ladder and might work on that this weekend. My main goal is to finish the Library...deja vu!<br />Have a great weekend and I'll post by Sunday.<br />Best wishes to all,<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198244122082759584.post-59183749857059141172011-11-29T13:30:34.836-08:002011-11-29T13:30:34.836-08:00Hi Giac, what impressive work you make, it looks g...Hi Giac, what impressive work you make, it looks great.<br />I also know the problems with how to spend my time,it always ends in a different way as I plan it.<br />Have a great week.<br /><br />Hugs Mieke xxx*Mieke*Petitevictorianrose*and*PastTimeChildhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859273707768930783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198244122082759584.post-19936630951470970612011-11-27T05:29:18.603-08:002011-11-27T05:29:18.603-08:00I just found, it's amazing what you do and the...I just found, it's amazing what you do and the preparation of the pieces, helps a lot.<br /><br />regards<br />JorgeJorge Cubellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796531992491478170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198244122082759584.post-4722022470066028412011-11-27T05:27:17.313-08:002011-11-27T05:27:17.313-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jorge Cubellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796531992491478170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198244122082759584.post-68439643636982915032011-11-25T22:09:56.474-08:002011-11-25T22:09:56.474-08:00fantastic!!!!!fantastic!!!!!Mondotegolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146321355161289174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198244122082759584.post-34581421512808030422011-11-25T03:34:25.294-08:002011-11-25T03:34:25.294-08:00Hi Giac!

I wonder how you will make the ladders slide along the bar?<br /><br />I feel for you about the tile --that is so something that would happen to me! I'm about to lay down my first wood floor so now I will take extra precaution, thanks to you.<br /><br />You're a nice boy to spend time with your mother and grandmother!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792529272804861727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198244122082759584.post-48294110729142515142011-11-23T11:07:34.131-08:002011-11-23T11:07:34.131-08:00I love your detailed posts on how you created your...I love your detailed posts on how you created your bookcases.

The idea of putting down a dog pillow (with a couple of dogs of course!) is an attractive solution though. <br />The bookcases are beautiful. I love how you repeat the style of the doorframes and the linen fold panels in the bookcases. It brings unity to the house. I also like the fact that they are slightly recessed. <br />And now you have to make hundreds of Victorian books... Quite a job!Josjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587534499301417219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198244122082759584.post-56709289941330749782011-11-20T20:00:22.712-08:002011-11-20T20:00:22.712-08:00Very impressive work!
