This is one of the joys and complexities of living with lots of books: It seems there's never enough space to store them. So every nook in our house doubles as a bookshelf.
Old stools find new life as tuffets and paperback props.
(I should probably paint this one below, but I sort of like its rustic, workbench look)

Lovely little spaces! :)
that is one of my favorite book quotes! here is another one!
"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers." -Charles W. Eliot
I wondered if that's what your title meant...looks like my apt. I have a very elastic notion of what can be a "bookcase." Old dining room chairs serve well, too. Being sturdy & all. xo
looove this so much
Oh, wonderful! I especially love the paint splattered bench and the lovely, vibrant pillow. And yes, I agree wholeheartedly with that quote.
H.H.
My book collection is definitely in need of a bigger home! Aside from 3 full bookcases in my living room, I also have about 10 boxes of books stashed in closets. That's not counting the boxes of books I'm storing at my parents' place!
that is my house too, exactly.
to avoid having a house "cluttered" with books i have to keep getting rid of them. it goes in cycles :) now i try to limit myself to using the library when i feel like a good read.
I love a ceramic bust. Reminds me of SNL.
oh, this is tough. we have books everywhere, too. but we're getting a lot of things electronically now. it's tough. i lost my Kindle [it's so great at the gym and for travel] so i'm putting an iPad on my wish list. i find that i love the smell of books more [does an iPad have a smell?] and i also can't read online magazines easily - i get impatient.
i think my next step is to have a wall of shelves built just for the books - i can't see them now with all the vintage wares crammed in.
I certainly agree with Cicero, and I love all your little stacks and shelves! I have many, myself...
I'm simply charmed by the arrangements darling!
You can be a stylist or display merchandiser~

I love how you've got books all over the place! Such cute and quirky storing places you've got!
It's a nice feeling to never be far from a book
What a cute quote! I just told my mom it. I have too many books & SOOOOooo not enough space to put them.

I love your little nooks and crannies where you keep your books. My house is exactly like that. Books piled into corners here and there - I think it gives rooms a unique look. :)
