Do you love books (like I do)? Do you have a million of them all over your house (like I do)?

I’ve always liked the idea of having a library for all of my books:

When we moved into our house, I planned on using one of our spare rooms for one. But as I was shifting all my books around, I realized it wasn’t the most practical idea.

For example, when I’m in my office working on a blog post and I want to reference something in one of my design books, I want those within easy reach.

So what I ended up doing was categorizing my books and disbursing them throughout the house: art/photography and travel in the family room, interior design in my office, cooking in the kitchen and novels/misc. in the upstairs hallway. So far, that’s working for me.

I’d love to know what everyone else does with their books. Where do you keep yours? How are they organized?

Have a good weekend, all! See you Monday!

I have always wanted a library. It’s one of those things I thought I’d have in my grown up house. I don’t have an entire room to turn into a library but maybe it’s time to carve out a space for one somewhere.

I’ve seen a lot of dining rooms doubling as libraries and I really like that idea. But even just a corner with a big comfy chair would be nice.

Or maybe in my studio?

 

Do any of you have a library? If you do, does it have another function or are you lucky to have a dedicated room? If not, where do you keep all your books?
