HOW I STYLE MY HOME WITH BOOKS

Do you have a design element that you repeat throughout your house?  For me, it's books.  Books, both vintage and new, appear in every room in my home.  They're one of the ways I style my space.  Let's take a tour.

I have a large vintage cupboard in my kitchen.  You can see how I mixed books with architectural fragments and vintage collectibles.

Here's a close-up of one of the shelves.

In the foyer, I used some books as risers and topped them with another architectural fragment.  Of course this arrangement has been changed.  To see the new look, go here.

On a smaller scale, books appear again on this vintage french desk.

In the newly-styled foyer,  I placed one of my Santos atop some vintage books and a huge ledger.  Below them all is a column base.

I have a pair of bookshelves in my family room.  

They're filled with books and nature-related treasures.

How unusual for me!  Books actually displayed between bookends.

Iron spheres can be bookends too.

I had to add a seasonal image.  I stacked some mini leather books under a cloche and added some velvet pumpkins to my Fall mantel.

Of course books always work on coffee tables.

I cheated.  I used some Hermes scarf boxes as books.

I even have books in my pantry.  I covered the books with white paper and decoupaged images of architectural prints onto them.  To see the tutorial for this, go here.
