and i got the bright idea (pun not intended, ha) to organize my books by 'red shelf, orange shelf, yellow shelf, green shelf, blue shelf purple shelf'.
it worked out that i had more of some colors than others, and i wanted my baskets strewn throughout, so i graded each color and blended them between shelves..... today, i'm crosseyed!
my reading nook:
neutrals and yellow-to-oranges:
oranges and red-to-violets (several orange books had blue on the spines also, so they are all over the right side next to the 'blue' shelf'), black books below:
'rainbow' (multicolor) books, then green-t0-bluegreen:
blues and purples, and a whole shelf for my concordance and a few black/grey extras:
here is the flow of colors:
think it shows some of my OCD tendencies? :P
Looks awesome! I love rainbow's too...I think it was a great idea...and had nothing to do with OCD!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe OCD tendencies, but a very creative idea. I like it!
ReplyDeleteI *love* that... that is the most calming, comfortable thing to look at. Most book shelves can be a bit overwhelming, but that makes it look less like a work, and more like art itself.
ReplyDeleteIts *perfect*
thanks, gals!
ReplyDeletenicole, you blessed me, cuz that's just what i was hoping to avoid - an overwhelming bookcase. i guess i succeeded!
What a totally awesome idea! I might have to do this with ours...I was already planning to arrange from biggest to smallest, but I like this idea better! :) Well done!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, your shelves look great! Very pretty.... I feel inspired.
ReplyDeleteps - word verification = subpare. Describes my own bookshelves very well. :)
