Give me a book!

I would love to have more design-books than I have right now (the colorful spines would really come in handy for my color coded library plans you could see here), so I keep a few on my wishlist for inspiration at all times! Here are just a smattering of those with the most inspiring images inside, funniest writing, or the best covers to judge them by. They are presented in no order, & I obviously, cannot begin to cover all the wonderful books out there..I can only add to this yummy batch of books!



Interior designer Kelly Wearstler is always a few steps ahead in her designs.



 

I would love any of Tricia Guild's books for color inspiration, with the vivd, bright bursts of color!

 

Any Jonathon Adler book would be a great inspiration with all of the bright colors & great pieces!


  

I think this must be the number-one stylist's prop book. It's everywhere. It's simple black and white. It's oversized. It's all about Tom Ford in his Gucci days, and the pictures are sexy as all get-out

 

These gorgeous colors make it easy to leave the dictionary within reach in a prime spot



What are some of your favorite coffee table books? Have you all found any really inspiring design books recently? Please share your treats!

Would You Judge My Books???

So when I was looking around for books by the foot (for a project at work), I spotted these pictures & thought that is a fantastic idea. I am obsessed with color & color coordinating things. I’ve debated on whether I should color code my closet but I have so many clothes I might just drown in clothes if I attempt that!

It makes me chuckle a little when I showed my boyfriend, James, pictures of the idea and he just couldn’t bare to have his books mixed up like that. He wanted it by category, not by color. Our ways of sorting books are a definite way of how we are…I am more of the artistic type & him, well, he is the philosopher (as he likes to put it).

However, I just can’t resist color coordinating my books one day, when I have enough books. Hopefully, I will win him over by then!

I found this picture awhile ago it was my first inspiration

Picture from Reiko-This was another photo I was inspired by..I want that chair too!

Having your books displayed by color really can create a whole other piece of artwork in your room. It creates a focal point & in turn draws you in to read a pretty little book.

What is your opinion in this debate? Are you a person who likes your clothes by season or by color? Your books by category, author, or what shade they are?

peace & love,
