Review:

The group is settling in and they celebrate Halloween where the kids are able to put on costumes. As well, everyone is getting job assignments and beginning to get accustomed. However, Carl feels that this community is fake and it is a game of pretend, and Andrea agrees with this sentiment as well because it’s hard to remember what it was like.

Welcome to Feature Friday!

This bookcase is so fascinating. It is built directly into the wall, and it appears to have it pulling apart. I'm not sure if I would want it in that permanent position, and I would definitely have to incorporate it if I were having it customized specifically for myself, but I think it is conceptually so unique and would be a statement piece for any visitor to the house.

Welcome to Feature Friday!

This isn't a bookshelf, but I think that it would be beautiful for a three piece shelving unit to store books and have these painted on the doors. I think that would be a gorgeous concept to add to the room.

Dale had been bitten by a zombie and was going off to die alone. However, the people who took him and cut his leg and ate it consumed "tainted meat" and Dale laughs hysterically at the idiocy of what they did. However, there is risk and the effect of this is unknown. They took Dale back and Glenn ended up getting shot in the leg. They are still watching the group, and now Rick is planning on retaliation.

Welcome to Feature Friday!

I really like this. I could see it being used as a way to add partial separation between rooms in an open concept design room. I think it is conceptually intriguing and adds an element of design to spice up a room.

Welcome to Feature Friday!

I really like the simplicity of this shelving unit. I don't necessarily like exposed metal shelving, but the brick background definitely compliments this. I think it would fit well to store classic books, especially special editions that were bought for old covers.
