Check out this swoonworthy photo from a decor blog that I ran across while participating in a photo meme linky party with my other blog, Dusty Us Diaries.
The theme of the entire post was pillows...

Pillows? What pillows? Do you see any pillows?
****************************************
Okay, so I did see the pillows after awhile and they are lovely pillows but that amazing bookcase... Wow!
As a Test of Bookishness, I asked my family what they noticed first about the photo...
My six year old said: Pretty couch! Oh well, he is still a bookworm in training.
Hub said: Built ins! That's my bookish man!
Just how bookish are you? What did you notice first about the photo?
Run your own Test of Bookishness experiment with your family/friends and report back... I'd love to hear the results.
I have always thought beauty and function can live together in harmony, so I loved the feeling of order mixed with color. The bookshelves stood out first, tho -- someday I'll have my book nook.
ReplyDeleteI noticed: Bookshelves, lamps, pillows, couch. I guess it says something that I looked to the pillows before the couch, but that could be because you mentioned pillows!
ReplyDeleteThe books, but at the same time the orange. I am in an orange mode lately and loving that shade on the pillows. Didn't notice pillows, per se, but that warm cozy reading-y orange.
ReplyDeleteHaha I am guilty of actually looking at the photo first before what you wrote, so I was immediately like, "Wow, books!" and started drooling.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this was an actual "test" ;) Well then there goes my answer.
Actually I'm in the process of planning and designing a book nook for us so I see bookshelves everywhere. That's definitely the first thing I saw in this photo.
ReplyDeleteYay! But I suspected all of you would see the bookcase first.
ReplyDeleteI just showed my non-bookish mom this photo and asked what she noticed first-- yep, she said: 'Sofa-- I love pillows!'
The pillows are nice- but the bookcases are amazing!
