How very clever … a hanging bookcase that has its own bookmarks and can serve as a table if (gasp!) you’re okay with setting items on the book spines. Designed by Raw-Edges Design Studio (I couldn’t find a direct link to this particular project).

This is something I have a hard time with. I love my books, whether they’ve been read or not. Being surrounded by books comforts me and, besides my family, they make my house feel like a home.

[As with many articles, the comments section is just as interesting.]

Industrial Pipe Bookshelf made by DirtyBils on etsy. The Corner Shelf is pretty clever too.

I basically said this to my husband, hoping he would get the hint that I need more bookshelves in the house! He was a decent wood shop student in high school (granted, that was a million years ago) and we still have a bookshelf he built. I want another one just like it. Is that so much to ask for?

Karl Lagerfeld’s books cover every wall of his studio from the ground, up two stories, to the skylights. Plus he owns the bookstore that is right next door.
