Darlings! What is up? Did you all have a wonderful and merry weekend? Are we all wishing for an additional day? Don't look at me. I am apolitical, but if someone decided to run that believed in implementing the reoccurring three day weekend, I would probably vote for them. And despite what all of their other policies may be. Honest. So if you are interested in running for this cause, call me up. I will be your campaign manager. After all, I have a great track record. Just ask the President of my former elementary school. I got her elected in the 5th grade, all the while having strep throat. I am a shark.
I have always been quite fond of copious amounts of books lining shelves in every way imaginable. Vertical, horizontal, stacked, not stacked, color coded, not color coded, adorned with accessories...You get my drift. There is nothing more stately and stylish than an extensive book collection. Better yet, a well styled book collection. That is, until now. Sometimes bookshelves can be slightly boring as they are just wood shelving. Right? Wrong. Absolutely wrong. Enter frames on shelves. What, you say? Hanging artwork on the front of the bookshelf will change our lives forever. Just you wait and see.

Bam. Can you disagree? I love the collected feel it brings to an already charming space. Not only will you appear to be brilliant from your large reading collection, but you will also be regarded as an art connoisseur. Change your ways now and thank me later. XOXO
I know this is about art on the bookshelves, but what about those camel sofas in 7 & 8.....love them!!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these! Especially the first picture. I've been dying for some bookshelves for this very reason. Looks like a project is on my to do list!!
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me sad because I have no bookshelves. Really it is a tragedy there are no built ins in our house and I want some so bad! I did just find a sick bookcase for kitchen so I can style that when the rents bring it down next week. Love all the images, books make me happy- I am a nerd at heart!
ReplyDeleteSomething about bookshelves ... yes, they bring Art, but mostly they bring warmth!! I love 'em all!! xo
ReplyDeleteI am totally doing this when our library is finished. My husband will hate it and be all, "How am I supposed to get the books behind the picture!?" I'm sure it will just take the right stink eye from me for him to see the light.
ReplyDeleteI second your 3 day weekend motion!
ReplyDeleteThree days off....count me in!! bout school would still have to be in session thatthird day....Beautifully styled bokshelves... every single one of them.
ReplyDeleteThe first paragraph alone has made this rainy Monday morning even better. I'd also get behind that candidate. Whoever decided on a 2 day weekend was out of their minds. Since I'm a huge book nerd I'm obsessed with having tons of books around.
ReplyDeleteI just hung art on my bookcase very recently...I love the look, don't know why I took so long to do it!!
ReplyDeleteI love this look! Something I've yet to try, but I definitely will when I have the space! Also...the opening to this post was hilarious. xo
ReplyDeleteThe more books (and accessories to go with) the better I say!
ReplyDeleteIt's on my list ~ perfect Monday inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love this look! I cannot wait for the day I have an "adult house" with built ins :)
ReplyDeleteI need to do this in our family room. I have art on the shelves, but I need to hang something. These pics are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool idea -- never would think it would work, but the pics you posted prove me wrong!
ReplyDeleteI have been really wanting to do this! We have a whole wall of built-ins in our office and I am dying to put some art on the shelves!! I love all of your inspiration pictures!!! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteXoXo
Oh yeeeeeesssss honey.

I love this look. I just need to find the perfect prints and take the plunge and do this on my own built ins.
ReplyDeleteThis look has been growing on me more and more! These images just show how beautiful it can be!

I'm obsessed! I don't have a full book shelf but I do have a space that I'm thinking I could make this work. Loving it - as usual! I missed your posts last week while I was away - must get caught up today!! I'm off to stalk!
ReplyDeleteSo I have this massive bookshelf from Ikea that I am about to re-style so I am so happy to see this post!!! IF I were to have a set of built in's, I'd love to hang a picture like this! It looks so cool! xo
ReplyDeleteArt on shelves is so much cooler than elf on a shelf, foooshoo.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of, I wish they would come up with a version of elf on a shelf for husbands. Now THAT would make millions. Hmmm, if only we could get them to believe in elves.
