Super Stylish Organized Spaces

fyngyrz's comments: "The building, an old church, had 14' ceilings, and so splitting that into two equal spaces minus the floor thickness results in each floor having about 6' 7" of headroom. This puts the base of the joists at a convenient height for retrieving paperback books.

"When we're done, there will be about 363 linear feet of bookshelves in the room. This isn't enough for all of our books, but some sections, such as the music and martial arts sections, can go to the spaces devoted to those pursuits. If there is overflow after that, the joists over the entryway may be called into service. You simply can't have too many bookshelves, or books, as far as we're concerned."
