Matthew finished up the built-in bookshelves and now I get to decorate. 

My sweet husband and father both offered me boxes of books to help fill up the space.
{Jill, should that say "sweet husband, and father"?  I'm not actually married to my Dad and I always eff up on the comma thing.}

Well anyway, "fill 'er up" we won't.

I did compromise with Matthew that at least a few of his books could make it to the shelves he so laboriously built.

I'm looking forward to pretty-ing them up with the contents of the storage boxes now residing in our sitting room.
