My Bookshelf

July 13th, 2009

This weekend my husband took me on a book shopping spree for my birthday (more on that tomorrow), so I then treated us to a nice new bookshelf.  We still don’t have a dining room table, but we have four bookshelves in the living room alone.  It’s obvious where my family’s priorities lie!  For your viewing pleasure (note brown chaise of awesomeness):

My bookshelves are arranged by category (children’s books, adult fiction, nonfiction, travel, etc.) and then by color.  I love the result as a design choice, and grouping by cover helps add splashes of color to the room.  The only problem comes when I get new books and need to rearrange…

    How do you manage to do this?! I can never sort mine by colour and topic at the same time! Do you paint them somehow when you need the colour to match particular category? :)

    Gorgeous! Put me in the green section – I’m envious!

    Haha, the key is when the books don’t fit the space right, get a new shelf! Also, certain sections grow seem to grow faster than others, so I’m able to move things around to prioritize.
