Books glorious Books~

" Great quote Uncle Karl! "
(errr...you know Karl Lagerfeld is my imaginary biological uncle, right?!)
Certainly an EXTRA-ordinary private library he has!
Don't we just lurrrve...the look of books in our living space?
.
~Well, for those who still don't have stacks & stacks & stacks of book collection
like my Uncle Karl, nor space for any of them,,,perhaps the 'Books Wallpaper' 
by Tracey Kendall or Y&B design would just do the trick. (shop HERE)

  12. That first picture - wow!

    I am the happy victim of books because of Kindle. Yes I'm a happy convert.

    p.s. If you ever try clay pot rice in Singapore, I tried Geylang clay pot and it's pretty good!

  17. I love books and love spending time at my favorite bookstores. I buy them when I find them interesting. It's so good to see the books sit in my shelves. I just need more time to read. Do you use iPad to read books? I don't. I enjoy touching paper pages and flipping one after another. I love the smell of books and love to feel its weight on my hands as well.

  20. What a shame to have to settle for the wall paper would be.

  21. I love books and it's by far the best way to decorate as well in my opinion :)
    Have a lovely Thursday!

  22. Unfortunately, I'm rather conservative and borrow most of the books I read from the library. I have a collection of leather-bound classics that I adore.

    I fear that soon, the printing of
    books will become a rarity due to the electronic age. I'm still being stubborn about that.

  23. Ok, I want book wallpaper!!

  24. I love this post Lenore! I hope someday to have a lovely little reading corner to disappear into! I love that first picture and the spiral staircase. Libraries and spiral staircases seem to go hand in hand, huh! Love the wallpaper idea!!! Thx hon!

  25. I adore books and I can't think of a better way to decorate. Not just the look and smell, but the tactile feel of plucking any one of hundreds of volumes off shelves...can't do that with a kindle! :)

  26. Thumbs down to kindle~
    Thank you everyone!

  29. I would love to steal Karl's home -- what an amazing collection of books! And I adore that they're stacked differently than most libraries.

  30. Karl! What a guy - how wonderful is his library! I bet he designed the interior himself. Books make the best furnishings I agree!

  31. oh goodness. I want. that first picture is like, exactly everything I would want in a home. right now I have a large bookcase totally full of books and a growing stack next to it. the stack is a couple feet high at this point.
