Books and their homes....

Great thread . Adorefaith I love the images you shared in the beginning. I'm such a book nerd and its the first thing I notice when I walk into someone's home. I can't wait to have my own library one day.

^ Me too! I love that he has books just lying around and stacked everywhere. Looks like he actually reads them, instead of using them as decoration.

I love the design by Rose Tarlow, the bookshelf running along the length of the apartment is perfect and it also blends in nicely. Thanks for the pics

Some may consider this sacrilegious to books..

..but I really like the idea of creating a partition wall inside a room made of old books instead of bricks..

^ it's definitely sacrilegious because if a book cannot be read you've basically killed it.

not that it isn't a cool idea though.

Wow, Karl Lagerfeld's collection is ! I would love to peruse it.
