Words are nice,
but sometimes, what's called for is pretty and that needs no words:

I would take the book stairs...
ReplyDeleteme too.. hands down.
ReplyDeleteLove those stairs!! I absolutely would never make it up or down!!!
ReplyDeleteor up!!
ReplyDeleteMan I WANT that staircase!
ReplyDeleteCan't do that with a Kindle!
ReplyDeleteIndeed. There are sacrifices to be made for convenience. Beauty is often one of those sacrifices.
ReplyDeleteI love decorating books too.

ReplyDeleteAlthough I am fascinated by "rainbow" bookshelves, I could never do that with my own books! If I did, I'd never be able to find anything! And really, what would I do with series books, if they came in different colours?
I remember reading about one of those home makeover shows in which a designer declutters and improves a hapless--but hopeful--person's home. There was a book-loving homeowner who liked to buy hardbacks. The designer ended up discarding all the dust jackets and arranging the books by colour. LOL!!!
Since I didn't see the show myself, I don't know the homeowner's reaction, but the person who wrote about it swore he'd never let a designer loose in his library.
yikes... I might seriously think about suing if they didn't ask first, and I can't imagine a book lover giving anyone permission to do that. I'm astounded.
ReplyDeleteLove all the ideas! (some seem to be a little OCD, tho :) I intend to have a "library" soon -- nothing this fancy, but the thought of a little sanctuary is so appealing.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted these two decorating books for a few years now. I am always looking at ways to incorporate my collection of books into my home. I love the idea of walls of bookshelves, the stairs would be nice too.
ReplyDeleteKim: Ditto. I do appreciate other people sharing their neurosis with us in a constructive way so we don't have to express ours in that particular way.
ReplyDeleteSari:Aren't they beautiful. Crave crave.
