Library spaces….

I’m sooo excited!!! Finally our worldly goods will be here on Tuesday. I’ve been reading so many beautiful blogs lately and am inspired to do so many things around here to make it feel homey. :)

So if you haven’t already guessed this is a post on decorating. One of my favorite subjects.  I’ve always loved, loved, loved the idea of having a library room.  I pictured lots of shelves, window seats, oriental rugs, leather chairs….ect ect.  Well I have found LOTS of pictures to inspire you if you are also wanting to create a library space.  I like that these are functional spaces, completely integrated with other spaces in your house you use every day.

Leave a comment to let me know which is your favorite…and if you have a library space would you so kindly leave me a linky?! ;)

I absolutely LOVE this next space…the architecture, the shelves, blue vases, pedestal table…..

I’m a bit worried I would never get out of bed with a library within arm’s reach!

I adore the chairs and the way the books are displayed…
