Booked

For Christmas I didn't receive any clothes (shocking, I know) because my parents find it way to difficult to go shopping for me. Instead, on top of gift cards and some jewelry,  I received about 8 different books- and a Kindle Fire! Let's just say one of my new resolutions is to read more after those gifts. This is just a small taste:



Now that my book collection is rapidly growing, I was curious to see how different people style books within their homes.



Emily styled her cookbooks for all to see along with her cake stands & stemware.

Color coordinated bookshelves can turn into the main focal point of a room via Mimi + Meg Blog.

While some may see this as a little too much clutter, I think it is a truly chic way to showcase books (and just about everything else) via Dannijo Tumblr.


Do you showcase your books in a special way? Please share any tips & tricks you may have!

  1. The Domino book is one of my favorites!

    We are going to build bookshelves in our new home and I definitely want to try to color coordinate them. I love that look!
