These reminded me of Thera:

The House Made of Books Has No Windows (Youtube)

A children's playhouse

And Livio De Marchi's house, carved out of wood (including the furniture and clothing), made to resemble books (click "next" on that page to see the other photos) I particularly like his table.

That one made of wood is absolutely stunning! I love it.

And there it was, full of everything and overwhelming nothingness.
Leo went on, a false idea resting in a candy wrapper of societal perfection.

He had no idea what it meant to see, what it meant to know.

And there was no way for me to un-know. No way for me to un-see. No way I could ever shield myself in one of those brightly colored candy wrappers of pretend ignorance.

I think I wanted it that way, to be like Leo, but I knew that would never happen.

~A snippet of things to come.

The shelves of carved books, in a house carved to look like a book, is just that little bit beyond cleverness into the over-zealous (but charmingly so) territory ^_^

That's fantastic! Just down the road from me too. Might head out and take a look if it's still there.
