We purchased our current home over two years ago. Since we moved in almost 12 months ago, there are still a few side projects that have never been completed (you know the ones)! These projects include a library, our sun room and finishing off the landscaping. Instead we have a huge backyard filled with dirt and no grass (our dog Luca loves it), an empty space where the library should be and a sun room with some sad looking greenery. Currently we are both so busy that these projects have been put on hold for a little longer. With summer just around the corner I am yearning for my day bed in the sun room as a place to curl up with a good book and many interior magazines for inspiration. I am also looking forward to having a library and shelves to store all of my books and magazines (honestly, I have so many I could almost open my own book store)! I have been scouring the net and magazines for the right type of shelving that will suit the look and feel of our house.
This quaint living room looks like the perfect place to unwind with a cup of tea after a hard days work. The ladder adds to the library feel and the green velvet curtain transforms the space when a more formal look is required.
A corner book case, white wall and a collection of eclectic art - what's not to love here?
I have seen this image numerous times and each time I think 'what a stunning and vivid arrangement'. The use of colour blocking the books together with the bright blue rug and vibrant cushions provides a great contrast to the heavy timber furniture in the room.
Diagonal shelves are fast becoming a trend. The use of diagonal shelving provides strong impact on a feature wall such as the one above.
A classic combination of white shelving, white washed timer flooring and a lovely upholstered armchair.
