Classical book porn, a handmade crib and a menagerie of pets

The Monday Montage is here to start another week at Offbeat Home. Settle in and let’s browse some interesting finds from the Flickr group.

Joker Venom has a super-classy bookshelf arrangement. It catches my eye every time I go through the Flickr pool. And yo! Did you know it’s Library Week across the Offbeat Empire?

The American Library Association recognizes National Library Week April 10-16, 2011. To celebrate, Offbeat Bride, Offbeat Mama and Offbeat Home are bringing literary-related posts every day this week.

Love lalaleahana’s gorge vintage tablecloth. After like ten views during editing this post, I finally saw the hidden kitty.

Ladydavonia communes with her bearded dragon.

Kat-tastrophe’s smoky little cat has a pretty sweet life in a travel trailer. Awesome, dude. (I’m sorry I’m so cat-obsessed. I like dogs, too!)

So, blindcavefish’s Renato made an ultra-mod crib. Just a super-cool piece of baby furniture made with two bare hands. NO BIG.

Let’s hit the Clicky Links:

• Kick off Library Week with an amazeballs alternative bookshelf.
• Cece and Brenda are driving toward sustainability in a green airstream.
• After all our chatter about pallet crafts, here’s a post about a pallet headboard.
• Offbeat Mama posted a tutorial on making freezer paper stencils. This technique is useful for walls or furniture in addition to clothing.
• Tribe Community Manager Ang comes through again with a link to a kickass comic frame — complete with speech bubble stickers.
• Best invention of the month: Split planters for use over wrought-iron railings, like those on front stoops or balconies.
• Thanks to AndraeaLynne for this video of a 90 square foot apartment in Manhattan.
