I'm lovin'....
Thu, 8 Jan 2009Ok, I'm still thinking about bookshelves and this room certainly isn't lacking in the bookshelf department. I adore this space. So light and airy and the furniture is so plush you would just sink into it after grabbing a book from the shelves. What a smart idea to break it up a bit with a space for a tall mirror. And don't even get me started on that light fixture...

I just discovered your blog last week and I'm already addicted. I love your eye! Keep posting!
this is one of my favorite images from the first design file book I made. i LOVE this room!
I need more books. Thankfully the Lifeline Bookfest starts next week. Now I just need a huge wall of shelves like this.
Welcome Veronica!
i've been thinking of wall to wall, floor to ceiling bookshelves as well, this is such a great image of one done really well.
It's lovely!
Too white for me, but I love the bookshelf
Hi, I love this room!. Believe me or not, but I am preparing a post about austrian designer Emil Stejnar and his fabulous vintage chandeliers like the one in the picture...
That is one fabulous room!
Charles Dillon was a friend of mine and he was an illustrator for Chanel ... he had one of the most wonderfully decorated homes ever... his rule of thumb was that no room was complete without books
I too love that light fixture. Swoon. I'm also eyeballing my bookcases speculatively...
I have thought it was a doorway before reading "a tall mirror" mentioned in your post. Does it not show that the aim has been reached?
I would rather fill the shelves with more and more books and I doubt if I could take my eyes off the books, even with a favourate one in my hands, if I were in that lovely, cosy room.
Regards.
