Books do Furnish a Room

Just in case you haven’t got enough books already, you can buy these murals from John Lewis.

Well I suppose it's marginally more honest than buying up books you never intend to read just to make it look like a library. I do love the colour coded look. I used to have my shelves arranged like that but then I moved and everything's a bit more mixed up again.

Yes, I'm always shocked when people offer books for sale 'to complete your vintage decor'.
I suppose colour coding is as good a way of arranging books as any other and looks pretty.

Of course you'd run the risk of there being some books on those 'shelves' you wouldn't want to be caught dead with.

Heh!

pretty, but it looks very much like the large-print Mills and Boon section at our library!

Not for your walls, then!

There's a pub in Winchester with book-lined walls. Got me very excited until I realised they had CUT the books off leaving the spine and about 2" of book, and glued them on to the shelves! Never been back there. (I didn't dare look too closely in case I spotted something I desperately wanted - would have been too upsetting!)

Aargh! There's one near here, too, but I think they are real books.
