Makeshift Library

I do not have a dedicated library yet...but maybe I can work something like this out in spare (what?) room.

Seriously, ordering books at the mart might be my most favorite thing ever.

Its an addiction.

Coffee Table Books

Some of my most recent acquisitions...

The inside of this baby is just as gorgeous as the outside.

How could you not be happy when you see this?

The best book about the way people really live in their homes.

Of course.

I couldn't help but smile when I saw Kate Spade's newest book clutch.

A Library in my Dining Room

I have been thinking about taking the painting down in my Dining Room and replacing it with shelving for books.

Here is the thing, I love the painting, BUT I need more room for books! I have so many and I always want more. It's an addiction.

I want to do the ledges below from Pottery Barn and I am going to face the books out so I can see all of the beautiful covers.

If all else fails, I can turn it into a wall of alcohol.

What do you guys think?

In the Stacks

There is nothing prettier or more appealing than a good stack of books.

Heather of Habitually Chics bookcase

On another note, I just wanted to thank both Heather of Habitually Chic and Christian of Maison 21 for a wonderful time at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. What a lovely way to spend a lovely day.

Reading List

I was updating my Amazon Wishlist today and I thought I would share some of my current wants and some of my favorite books with you guys.

Let's face it. We all at one point LOVED the Shabby Chic aesthetic and I am no exception. I still love Rachel Ashwells point of view and this book documents many of her inspirations as well as her Los Angeles home. It is a MUST!

Speaking of personal homes, I am hoping to find this lovely book under the Christmas tree since I feel like I have already been waiting for it all year long! Inside Kellys newest book is not only her recent unpublished projects, but also her Beverly Hills home.

Everyone knows that Jamie Rummerfield and Ron Woodson are beyond fabulous, and let me tell you so is their book! It is not only gorgeous on the inside but the outside is black silk with gold gilding! UH-mazing.

Now for some of my personal favorites...

Pictures of designers Hamptons homes. Need I say more?

The staple for every home.

The gorgeous Tom Ford book. I was beyond excited the day I got this one. Not only are the pictures stunning, but so is Tom!

What are the books that everyone else thinks are must haves?

Want, Need, Must Have

How much do I want to re-create this somewhere?  Of course it would not work in my current abode, but I will constantly have this picture in the back of my head for when the perfect setting presents itself.

Get Lost in a Book

I had a wonderful Easter weekend, and with it being extra long and gorgeous weather it was the perfect time to just lay around reading a good book.  Bookshelves can be just about as beautiful as any art or piece of furniture.  Just take a look...
