truth be told-- i am a book hoarder.
nick and i have about four book shelves and innumerable stacks of books piled up
in our tiny three-room apartment. and even when it appears that there is no room
for another book, or any need for that matter, i manage to come home from
the goodwill every other weekend or so with another pile.
the mere sight of books in every nook brings me happiness beyond word.
one thing i have yet to do, is sort my books by color.
i tried to once, but it took way too much effort and took away from the
haphazard, hodge-podginess of it all, (which is my favorite part!)
but if you are one of those people who aspire to this:
and this:
then, may i suggest etsy shop, jaysworld, where you can buy
an instant collection of color-blocked vintage books,
with very minimal effort ;)
ps. thank you to jaimee, for alerting me of this shop ♥
That first picture is amazing, I would love to have that in my house!
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about buying books is you can think to yourself 'I might not read this for a year, but I'll be grateful for it if I'm ever so poor I can't afford to buy more books!' that's how I justify my hoarding anyway :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! I also have wayyy too many books but I love it :))
