Jewish Latin Princess

Pretty and Prominent Library Spaces || Bibliotecas preciosas y prominentes

December 30, 2014 by Yael Leave a Comment

B”H

We surely need a beautiful space to put our collection of Jewish books, right? Jewish books are in and of themselves beautiful obviously, so why not choose to display them in a space that suits them.

Necesitamos un espacio hermoso en el cual exhibir nuestra colección de libros judíos, ¿cierto? Los Seforim (libros judíos sagrados) son obviamente hermosos por si mismos, así que por que no exhibirlos en un espacio que le haga justicia a la belleza que estos poseén.

According to my calendar, I was supposed to finish my bookcases by last week, because I was supposed to post about them. It didn’t happen. They have been a DIY in progress/stalled since… oy vey! I can’t tell you, let’s just say a pretty long time. Ok some of the painting part of the DIY is done, woodwork and other details…not so much… planning stages take long my friends, yes? Incomplete projects seem to be all too common around here. So since I have nothing to show for myself, but unfinished bookcases, and an embarrassing post that might push me to actually finish said bookcases, I’m going to bring you some wonderful eye candy from my library inspiration files. (More inspiration on my Pinterest, so follow me if you don’t do so yet).

Según mi calendario, estaba supuesta a haber terminado mis libreros la semana pasada, por que estaba supuesta a tomar las fotos y hacer un post sobre estos. Claro que lo que no saben es que los libreros son un DIY que lleva en trámite desde… no les puedo ni decir… muchísimo tiempo. Parte de la pintura esta hecha pero toda la parte de añadir molduras y eso… no. La etapa de planeación como que toma mucho tiempo y los proyectos incompletos parecen ser muy comunes por estos lados. Así es que como no tengo nada que enseñarles mas que un vergonzoso post sobre como no terminé los libreros – el cual en efecto me debería a empujar a terminarlos- las voy a deleitar hoy con maravillosas imagines de mis files de inspiración de bibliotecas de mi Pinterest. (Para mas inspiración, me pueden seguir aquí.)

We are lucky to have a separate library in our house, but after having books hiding there for way too long, we eventually decided to display the books in the living room, and hence the DIY saga began. Now I’m really going to finish these. Anyhow, ideally one should display the Sephorim (Holy Jewish books) prominently in the home, thus showing their importance and the value the family places on Jewish wisdom. So, lets look at some pretty and prominent looking spaces, shall we?

Tenemos la suerte en mi familia de tener una biblioteca hermosa y separada, la cual funciona como el cuarto donde terminan todos los cachivaches mi oficina. Después de haber tenido todos los libros ahí escondidos por mucho tiempo, decidimos que sería mejor exhibirlos en la sala y por ende comenzó la saga del DIY de los libreros. ¡Ahora si que los voy a terminar! Bueno, el caso es que idealmente uno debería exhibir los Seforim en un espacio prominente en el hogar, mostrando su importancia y el valor que la familia le pone a la sabiduría judía y de la Torá. Así es que deleitémonos e inspiremosnos con imágenes de bibliotecas preciosas y prominentes.

Too bold? Wait till you see this. I don’t usually decorate with red but this goes to show that red can be done right.

¿Muy llamativos? ¡Espérense a que vean esto! Yo usualmente no decoro con rojo, pero hay veces que el rojo si se puede usar muy bien.

Any favorites? Would you dare go bold with your library space or are you more of a classic person?

¿Algún favorito? ¿Se atreverían tener una biblioteca audaz y llamativa o prefieren algo mas clásico?Here’s a great clip on the importance of not just the Jewish books, but their display, as well as the woman’s role in making this space happen. I smiled the whole way through!

Aquí hay un clip muy bueno sobre la importancia no sólo de los libros judíos, pero de como son exhibidos y el rol de la mujer en crear este espacio. ¡Me sonreí de principio a fin!Have a great week!

¡Que tengan una linda semana!

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.
