Bibliophile Style: Bookshelves for EVERYONE!

Bookshelves!  For math nerds!  

Bookshelves!  For running enthusiasts!

Bookshelves!  For people who like sitting on hard surfaces!

Bookshelves! For people who lean against brick walls!

Bookshelves!  For people who like their books warm & damp!  

OR for people doing hard time and really have no other choice!

Bibliophile Style: Desk envy...

A few more inspirational work spaces...

A mixed media wall, gorgeous wallpaper AND built in bookshelves?  Yes please!

Yellow chair!!  Love a strong pop of color!

 The chairs are visually stunning, but I can't imagine they're super comfortable...

What a great use of the abundance of wall space!  And such clever & stylish storage solutions!

Bibliophile Style: Library Lust

Your weekly dose of library porn...

This library belongs to Karl Lagerfeld.  I would expect no less from the genius at the helm of Chanel.

 That bed looks so big and cozy! But what's with the sink in the wall?  I hope those pillows aren't blocking a toilet from view!

 This space combines two of the three dream library essentials:  floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and floor-to-ceiling windows.  Now if there were only a big comfy couch...

 Great use of space!  And the chandelier is a cute touch!

I swear my to be read pile looks like this from time to time...ooops...

Bibliophile Style: Bachelorette Weekend

I'm sorry I've been a bit negligent with my posting this past week, but I was helping to throw a bachelorette weekend for my dear friend R.  

I've known her since college and she is one of the warmest, kindest, most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and the privilege of calling my friend.  And the man she's marrying is pretty spectacular as well!  If soul mates exist, he's hers.  They just FIT and compliment each other so well!  The highlight of the bachelorette party last night was the game with the questionnaire:  the groom to be is given a list of questions, and he answers them as the bride would answer them.  At the party, she's asked the same set of questions and she has to answer how she thinks he'd answer them as her.  Still with me?  Most questions are sweet, like "What was the most romantic date you've been on?"  or "When did he first tell you he loved you?"  It was eerie but incredibly heartwarming to see R answer each question with such accuracy!!!  They are absolutely meant to be together and I'm so excited to play a small part in the start of their life together.


Now, A is the supremely talented legit event planner of the group, and after she threw a gorgeous shower, the less talented of us took over for the bachelorette. I was assigned "decor," and since R is classic, I went for all white decor (white table cloth, plates, napkins, etc) with candles floating in wine glasses, Christmas lights, white paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling, and fresh mums, white with vibrant pops of purple (the bride's colors are purple and white).  I'd post pictures, but what happens at the bachelorette party stays at the bachelorette party...so you'll just have to make due with my inspiration board...





Book related posting resumes tomorrow!  Cross my heart!


XOXO,


Jack

Bibliophile Style: The Giving Tree Mani

Oh man.  I do not have the talent to try this myself, and I have mixed feelings about the book (the tree gives, and she gives, and she gives, but gets nothing in return!), but still:  HOW COOL IS THIS?????  

Bibliophile Style: Desk envy...

These stylish work spaces inspire me to clean...and do some major damage at the container store ;)

Fuzzy chair!

The bowl of fresh flowers:  a bit impractical, but very sweet!

What a great use of a small space!

Loving the vintage whitewash on the desk!

Bibliophile Style: Library Lust

A few more lust-worthy libraries...

Gah!  The view!  I love floor to ceiling windows and all the natural light...

What a great use of space...though with my fear of heights, any books on the top shelf would probably never be read...

Loving the vintage-inspired wall paper....too bad I rent!

Controlled chaos.  I just want to curl up on that couch and read for hours...

Bibliophile Style: Desk Envy

I *wish* my work space was half this stylish...

Brooke Shields' desk.  Loving the black and white photographs.

I love lamp.  The chair looks super comfy, too.

Awesome inspiration boards!

Bibliophile Style: Thank You Notes

I am big fan of the Thank You note!  A "thank you" email or Facebook post does the same job, but there's something about nice stationary...

Bibliophile Style: Library Lust

Check out these stylish personal libraries...

I am absolutely the type to put a library in a dining room...

I love classic white floor to ceiling bookshelves.  So crisp and so clean!  And the chandelier!!  LOVE.

GAH!  This reading nook would be AMAZING!
