The Latest Bookcase Is A Do It Yourself Bookshelf

Would you like to know some more about the leaning ladder bookshelf? If so, in this article we are going to take a look at what happened before they were invented and a bit about books and bookcases in general. We will then find out when and where they were first used and then move on to some special types of bookcase and on to where we see the future taking us.

Black Ladder Bookshelves

Some form of system of writing things down has been happening for perhaps as long as 10,000 years. Of course they were not books as we know them then, they were just engraved on anything at all such as the bark of trees, tablets of stone or simply clay.

Black Ladder Bookshelves

It was not until around 3500 BC that the Egyptians started using paper or papyrus as it was known then.

Books in a form similar to today were first scribed by hand on parchment paper and then bound together. They were written in small amounts and normally related to religion in some way or other. Thus they were kept by the clergy and stored in cupboards or on shelves, usually made of a hard wood such as oak. They were maybe even just like type of ladder bookshelves that we see nowadays.

The earliest recorded bookcases date from about the very late 1500s and they were more just ordinary rooms with shelves where books were kept.

There have been various styles of bookcase through the ages. Sheraton and Chippendale who were famous wood furniture designers in England made them very ornate with glass doors so that the owner could see what books were inside. They were the first people to turn a humble bookshelf into a piece of desirable furniture. Before that they were purely functional.

In the public libraries that emerged the shelves and stanchions were often made of iron as it was felt that they would last longer in that material and the fashion was not too relevant.
In the economy of the world as we know it today people often like DIY "do it yourself" and the building of bookshelves is an ideal way to save money.

It does not take a lot of woodworking knowledge to get some plywood, cut it into the lengths you require and fit it all together. I think this is the future way as it is certainly a lot cheaper to build a leaning ladder bookshelf in this way than to pay a lot of money from the stores.

Know What Different Upholstery Fillings Are Available and Their Qualities - So You Don't Get Stuffed

When a customer take a piece of furniture to be re-upholstered they often don't ask about what stuffing, or filling, materials will be used. I'm sure this is due partly to most people being unaware that different types of stuffing are available and partly because they are unsure of the differences between the stuffings.

Black Ladder Bookshelves

As a customer though you have a right to know what will be used in the re-upholstery. In essence, you have a right to know what you are paying for. There are many different stuffing materials available on the market and they are not all of the same quality nor the same cost. However all the fillings satisfy Schedule 2 Part 1 of the Furniture & Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 relating to non-foam filling materials singly.

Black Ladder Bookshelves

Two low cost natural fillings are ginger coir (coconut) fibre and black coir (coconut) fibre. These are inexpensive stuffings but they do not have very much spring so the end result on furniture is rather hard with not much give.

Moving up the quality ladder the next filling on the rung is 50/50 hair and fibre. This is about twice the price of the coir fibres and has a little more give and softness because of the presence of the hair.

For quality re-upholstery natural teased hair should be used. Hair is an intrinsically fire retardant material. In the natural hair category the first option is 80/20 hog hair/horse mane & cow tail. This is priced at the lower end of the natural hairs but is considerably more expensive than the fibre fillings discussed above. However the quality, spring, softness and comfort of this 80/20 hair is head and shoulders above that of coir fibres. I use a lot of this type of stuffing in my work and am very pleased with the results.

Moving higher up the ladder there is Chinese horse hair which is just a little more expensive than the 80/20 hair followed by super horse tail (100%). Horse tail is a lovely product with long hair strands which give great spring and therefore comfort. However, it is double the price of the 80/20 hair.

The very best stuffing is white cattle tail. This is available in two standards, grade b and grade a. These are superb stuffings which give first class results. However they are very expensive, often have to be ordered in advance and I think are best suited for the very best quality furniture.

Other options available are rubberised hair, hair pads and ginger coir fibre on polypropylene. Rubberised hair is hair and/or fibre which has been glued together and pressed into a sheet or roll. It is available as hog hair with coir fibre or 100% hog hair. It is often used on chair backs and arms or over sprung units as it is quick to use. Hair pads are often goats hair which has been needled on to hessian. This is also used for chair backs or arms and is quick to use. The ginger coir fibre on polypropylene is similar to the hair pad but uses coir in place of hair. All of these three options are at the lower end of the cost of all fillings.

I hope this gives you a better understanding of stuffings. Please ask what will be used on your furniture and make sure you are happy. While it's always necessary to work within your budget I think it is good advice to use the best quality materials that you can afford.

Unique Nursery Themes For Boys

So you're adding a little boy to the family. What fun! When it comes to decorating the nursery and coordinating the crib bedding, there are many options. How about picking a theme to make it easier to make selections from all the fabulous offerings you find?

Black Ladder Bookshelves

It seems like everyone uses sports for a little boy's nursery. Perhaps you might want something unique, or more expressive of your family's decorating style.

Black Ladder Bookshelves

Doggy Theme

Have you thought about a dog theme? There are many baby bedding packages with this motif. To make it more personal, create artwork using your actual dog. Create a paint paw print (Better do it outside!) and frame it along with a picture of your pet. Copy the print and make a stencil to add a border to the room.

Doggy Accessories

Add an assortment of adorable puppy stuffed animals to shelving or bookcases, and add dog-type seats or pillows to chairs. This is a fun motif sure to last all through childhood. The same sort of thing can be done for cats or birds or fish.

Dominoes Theme

Another excellent nursery decorating scheme is the game of Dominoes. Black and white is known to visually stimulate infants, so the room is educational as well as tasteful! Get black and white crib bedding, or white with black polka dots.

The walls can be painted white. Accent one wall with black polka dots to continue this theme.

Dominoes Accessories

Look around at garage sales, thrift stores and on the Internet for vintage domino sets. Cut the cover out and frame it. It's also fun to create paper dominoes and use them as matting for a framed print of your family.

Pillows can be all black and white, or polka dots. Throw in some bright red if you want additional color in the room.

You can also adapt this for your favorite game. Think checkers or chess or Monopoly or Chutes and Ladders and you have the start of a fun nursery.

Jungle Theme

How about a jungle theme? Paint the walls in green tones, using curving stripes if you feel creative. Frame pictures of wild animals from National Geographic or travel magazines. Baby bedding of animal prints and the addition of stuffed giraffes, chimps and lions create an easy-to-do, exotic look for the nursery.

Farm Theme

Perhaps your little boy would like a farm theme in his nursery. Paint one wall barn red, using white for the trim. Crib bedding can be tractors or animals or just a simple golden hay color. Add a painted fence to one wall, and frame a collage of farm tools or barnyard animals with your child's picture in the center. Add a few horses and cows - stuffed, of course - and your little one is enjoying the old-fashioned country life.

If you'd like to decorate on only one wall, consider painting the silhouette of a big, strong tree. Make it a family tree, with a branch for each part of your family. Add pictures in frames, all alike or of different green colors like leaves or one uniform bright color like a fruit or a blossom. What a nice way to display pictures of all your loved ones in the baby nursery! And crib bedding can pick up the colors of the "leaves" or "blossoms" for a unified look. Add throw pillows of matching colors, and paint the trim to match.

Remember, your baby boy will be too young for many years to appreciate what decorating theme is used for his nursery or crib bedding. You might as well make it just what you and your family would most enjoy. Use your imagination, have a little fun, enjoy the colors and let the creative energy flow. But most of all, enjoy the room with your new baby boy!
