Bookshelf Idea's



My biggest obsession is collecting books, from old vintage books to new, cook-books, home and Interior books so in other words I need a huge bookcase to hold them all, so any of the above would be great :) don't you just love bookcases that go over doorways I think they look amazing!

Lily - I love bookcases full stop. I have one lounge wall lined with built in bookshelves. Your post is lovely - all great examples of why a home isn't complete without a bookcase (and books to fill the shelves too of course). Thanks for the gorgeous post.

Sometimes it is really difficult to know what style of shelving you want.

Hi Lily-
My favorite thing....a shelf of books.
Not only do I crave my own library in my house with the cool ladder and the beautiful wood and a cozy chair the lighting just right and shelves filled with fantastic books. I often catch myself checking out other bookshevles like in my favorite movie "You've got mail". Kathleens apartment is so cute and she has great bookcases. Also in my second fav. "The Holiday" in Mill house and in Rose Hill both houses have great bookcases. Wonderful post.

I have a slight obsession with books too. As soon as we get a new bookshelf it is full and often double stacked. I can't wait to own my own house and build in shelves to hold the lot! I too love the ones that go over doors.

I finally gave in and built a library a couple of years ago. It was the best thing we ever did!! Of course, it is rapidly filling up!

I love these examples you've posted.

I do love when book cases go over the door way.
Great images, Judy.
