you sure are surrounded by some beautiful nature
as for the bookshelves there is what we call a students book shelve as an cheap option, you just need some bricks or concrete blocks and sheets of wood for the shelves, LO kind of tacky but cheap and would allow you to unpack the bookes till you find a resonably priced bookshelve
Hahaha, over here they use empty 5 liter cans and planks JJ.
Would not look too great when we have visitors.
On a serious not, I am thinking about making my own.
Will wait and see what happens!
Blessings!
Making your own is a good option I am nit crafty that way so it would not be an option for me lol
