"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles." --Audrey Hepburn

Bookcases



For as long as I can remember, I have always loved curling up with a good book in a comfy armchair and spending hours enraptured by a moving plot and engaging characters. Of course, as a girl who is also obsessed with anything fashion and design related, this "hobby" logically led to an admiration for beautiful places devoted to reading. Case in point, I was amazed by the gorgeous library in the castle in Beauty and the Beast! Fast forward to today, and I think these two spaces represent a modern take on the traditional, dark wood library (complete with a ladder to reach the top shelves, of course).

I hadn't watched that movie:(, but anyway, those two spaces are really lovely, I'd mix the first library with the second pic sofa.

Beautiful book cases! I wish I had enough book cases for all of my books. So many of them are relagated to boxes. Sad!

Tessa a dit…

awesome... a must-have for my future house is a wall covered with books (and some good comfy nooks to snuggle up & read in).
