I love rooms with tons of books like that- I think it makes the room look really cozy and lived-in. I also love the little snowflakes that you have falling on the page- that is so cute!!

I agree, a study that is this well decorated will probably compel me to spend many afternoons in there with a book. I just love that first picture.

I'm not a voracious reader, but I do like to pick up a good book everyone once and awhile. The third and fourth photos are my fave.

There's a coffee shop in NYC called DESPRESSO with a bookshelf you might like. It looks really surreal because it extends all the way around the ceiling!

Karen said...

Thanks for including my bookshelves (and linking to my site The Art of Doing Stuff)

My foyer is the first picture in your series. The one with the furry chair.

I waited for years before I finally did a wall of bookshelves (Ikea Billy bookcases) and I LOVE them. :)

All the pictures are fantastic. Great inspiration photos! Thanks again - karen

Jessica said...

Love this! It makes me think of this built-in bookshelf in an exposed brick wall at my parents house.

ggoodrich said...

Your apartment is already great. No need to organize it. It looks awesome as it is now. I remember my collection of black suits, it's really messy compared to your apartment. xoxo :x

escapistmusings said...

actually, this makes me want to buy more coffee table books and just spend the entire afternoon or weekend browsing through them...

Chickey Designs said...

These rooms are incredible. Love the heavy leather sofas against the colors of the faded books. The antlers in the top bookshelf are also incredible for the decor.
