Lovely Little Shelf

Bookish News: My Beautiful Shelves!

I don’t even know how to intro this except to say that I have found  myself, over the last few days, just sitting and staring at my shelves. I think I’m obsessed.

ColorfulBookshelfI thought that 3 five-shelve bookshelves, would be enough, but as you can tell, I had to start an “overflow” shelf on the top.  Eek.  The bad thing is, having such pretty shelves makes me want MORE books.  Target, you may have  a returning customer soon!

This really is all due to Shaun. All I did was provide the vision.  He carried it all up the steps, put the shelves together, figured out the “perfect” order for color organizing, and even took this picture.  He’s a pretty great guy.

And yes, we have an orange corduroy couch.

    Again, I love it! Honestly, I think the orange couch makes it look even better.

    I would never have thought to organize my books by color. This is inspiring!

    I LLLLOOOOVVVVEEEE your book shelves and if I had those shelves filled with beautiful books I would sit and stare at them all day too!!!! I have my books color coded like that but sadly I live in a VERY VERY small space so I have to sell most of my books after I finish with them. I keep my favorites but they have to fit in one small 5 shelf book case. One day I dream of having a room that I can turn into a library!! (in my dream it has one of those awesome sliding ladders) (:
