I have a request: Show me your favorite little free library type structures. I've seen the Adult Bookstore one, which is awesome, but I think not quite the vibe of our house. There are a bunch of examples of off-square kid-themed libraries, but we don't pass on a ton of kids books. Thinking like Japanese temple architecture, maybe, I like whimsy, but... not kid-themed in this case. I'm trying to figure out how to do like a Bombay chest side without spending a gazillion dollars on lumber (gluing up 3/4" ipe chunks, which I have, into a curve sounds like a huge challenge). Just: inspiration on something for the front walk!

[edit history]
I have been pondering building a LFL, but as our neighborhood HOA only allows buildings in three styles
( pueblo revival, territorial
revival and ranch
style ), I’ve been looking into one of the first
two. Though I may go full pueblo deco too.
We
also have about two gallons of elastomeric stucco left over from when they restuccoed our house, I’ll probably use that for a
finish.
Anyway, I don’t have any examples to show you, but I’ve been working on a floor plan for
my LFL (most
houses here are single-story and spread out, while a LFL likely wants to be a two-story affair), and this
might be the summer I build it.
I’m any case, I was hoping to see some responses to this, too.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
