I am a book lover! I have always been an avid reader and I don't like to throw books away.

I am so inspired! And I can't wait to get started on my book repurposing projects after I get my nightstands done and my duvet cover completed! Oh... and the curtains for all of my windows! LOL In the meantime, check out this lovely little trailer for The Repurposed Library!
