We’ve reached the last in our ‘One Bookcase, Four ways’ series – which means one more bookcase (naturally), but more importantly it means you have a big vote at the end to choose your favorite. A vote, whose outcome could change lives and shelves. Forever.
Just when I thought I had a favorite, Ginny goes and styles this shelf like a ‘Playful Scholar’. I was the girl in college who was annoyingly attracted to men that had really large, HUGE … vocabularies. It was such a turn on, even though now it’s almost always a sign of total pretentiousness and not intellect. But a playful intellect? Sure. Obviously we make up these characters and it` just helps us tell the story, but I do love this one a lot. It feels the most lived-in in a way.

We really should get busts of ourselves done more often. We don’t get oil paintings done of ourselves, we don’t frame large photos of us in our house and we certainly don’t hire artists to sculpt our likeness in stone nearly enough. I’m serious. Some awesome maker in Portland is bound to be doing this now. I think that generally people find heads in domes as creepy, but not me. I can’t get enough of them.
