I love books and have amassed quite a collection of them. They seem to be creeping into every room of our house. I love stacking them and using them as display surfaces of sorts for pretty objects. My latest book has a beautiful raw silk, peacock blue hardcover and is about the life and work of the painter Raphael.
Admittedly, I am a much bigger fan of the book itself than I am of Raphael's work. But I just couldn't pass up the pretty cover. :)
The other books in this series are gorgeous as well. Look at these colors!
So often, book covers are beautiful, but their spines are nothing all that special. In that case, I love a display like this. So dramatic and full of color. And even if the cover isn't great, you could open it to your favorite spread and enjoy it that way.
Do you decorate with books in your home? What are some of your favorites? I can never get enough!
