inspiring me now – rainbow bookshelf
Looky what i’ll be setting up in my house for the next 10 years of my life!
i stumbled across this awesomeness on freshome.com while i was browsing some of my favorite Google search terms; unique color, colorful home decor, vibrant decor, colorful home furnishings….. i think maybe it has made the web rounds already? But its beauty is new to me and well worth sharing!
The arrangement was done by flickr user chotda. It is just so stunning that i will now have to make endless dust jackets and start collecting a whole lot more books! i’m imagining i’ll do some solids, some tone-on-tone and some patterns with a dominant color palette that will blend in nicely. Now all i have to do is have my hubby build me a custom bookshelf to house the gorgeousness!
Look for custom dust jackets in my shop soon – haha. i often feel the need to share my obsessions with others.

I never thought of SEWING dust covers… GREAT idea!!!
What about integrating your DVD collection into the shelves? What about cookbooks and photo-albums. I think doing this with any size bookshelf and shelves is calming (I saw something similar in Better Homes and Gardens recently and did it with a tiny shelf in my room.) It is a fun way to organize books.
Thanks for sharing. ;D
I came across this pic on Flickr some time ago and I fell in LOVE with the arrangement! I’ve been trying to replicate a similar look for my fiance’s study (with burgundy walls instead).
hi suzy! i never thought of sewing either! haha! i meant some of my printed (on paper) pattern and such. but some fabric covers thrown in would be lovely! unfortunately for me…..i’m a purger and lender. i don’t have many dvds or books……enough for maybe 2 shelves…but that’s it. i’m working on it! : )
oh my gosh! that is amazing!
