What do you think of our Ikea Expedit book shelf? I picked out the book case and Mr. Spice choose the color.
We actually have two, and I love them. They may not be Organic, but they seem pretty well built for Ikea, I can't imagine them not going with a future place we live, and honestly, before we had them, all of our books were on the floor. My parents thought that was pretty pathetic, so they spotted us some cash for Christmas- and voila. A home for our books. {The newspaper basket is from the Container Store and the bottom pillow is also Ikea- the other two pillows are homemade}
Unlike most Ikea purchases, I really do plan on having these for years to come. And thanks to the awesome Bower Power team for helping me figure out how to dress up the top of the shelves.
Can you tell which candle holders are real and which ones are from Goodwill? The lamp is another Ikea purchase from around three years ago. I am amazed that I haven't broken it- yet- knock on wood.
Where do you stash your books?

I love it! That was totally the expedit I wanted for my study, but they didn't have it in white, so I got the regular expedit instead. I love all the funky compartments, and you've done such a great job decorating it.
I have the same shelf! We have ours upright though. I like it on its side how you have it! We are thinking of buying another to place next to it so it looks like larger unit. The shelf is for sure my favorite piece of ikea furniture.
I love the sneal peak. We have Billy bookcases in the office with all our books.
I have an obsession with looking at the books other people have on their shelves. (Actually, I like looking at my own books too, as I often forget which ones I have - an addiction to buying but no time for reading will do that!) I noticed you have one of my favorites: Reading Lolita in Tehran. Loved it :)
