I'll be back in full swing this weeked but until then here are some ideas for using books in all styles of spaces. We all know how personal and beautiful a space can be when it is filled with books but I continue to be amazed at how versatile they can be. No matter what your design style is or what type of space it is, books just plain "work".
Here are a few rooms that make this point beautifully for some new inspiration, spanning a variety of styles:

Oh là là... that art deco piece, the eccentric intellectual, that's just what I've been looking for. Elegant without being busy. Would you know where I might go about finding it?
