Style Inspiration: Bookshelves

images via pinterist

I love the idea of having a library full of books and treasures. I am not personally a big fan of the color coordinated organization method, but I think books always make a home feel lived in. As it is now I only have enough books and treasures to fill a bookcase, but I am well on my way I think.

Office Envy

I stumbled upon this image and I love the storage wall and open shelving. I am completely envious of all that organization.

Clever Shoe Storage

A while back I posted about shoe storage ideas as part of my ever growing fondness for amazing closets. One of the ideas was to hang shoes on chair molding. Martha ('s staff) had a similar idea using plate rails painted out the same color as the wall. I love the subtlety of the look all the while still displaying all of those pretty shoes. I think the styling of the photo was nice as well with the chair and outfit hung for the next days attire. Martha certainly has a great staff.
