I do need these! I have four sets of built in book cases in my living room and I am filling them with warm, worn "orangey" leather books. I have two filled, two to go...
So fun that you and Mona were thinking antique books! I'm so excited to receive mine so I can get some "history" up on my shelves. Love the post below as well...those light fixtures are the bomb!
Now that is art, my friend. I have my own little collection that I hope my little ones will appreciate one day. Especially since they are taking books out of the schools. And going all web based! The feeling of holding a good, handsome book can never be replaced.
Love the golden glow of the book covers with the soft patina of the gray. The post I just did on my antiqued brass sconces I posted several pictures of gold mixed with the grays and the two colors together are stunning. Kathysue

Those old books are great looking! Have you noticed how well anything brownish goes so well with gray? Thank you for your kind words about my kitchen!
Debra,
love the gray colour.
I've got these coming out my ears ... may sell some soon ...
I love old books! The best are those you want to read as well as have, but having old (beautiful) books that you cannot read is not that bad :)
The atmosphere like at my grandfathers library... fantastic post!

Oh, I love everything about books....old and new.
Aren't they stunning. I can smell their old crumbly leathery goodness from here! That second image is a dream.
You are absolutely right! :)
I've only recently discovered your blog and I love it. If you'd like to exchange links, do let me know!
I do! I do!
