waysideviolet - cozy, lovely things

for book lovers

We have a lot of books, boxes and boxes of them and for some reason we’ve never had enough bookcases, until now!  We picked up a few lovely Billy bookcases from Ikea yesterday and I’ve spent most of the afternoon getting all the books organized on the shelves. And I had to share some gorgeous bookcase inspiration photos…

This one is my absolute favorite! I’d LOVE to organize our books by color someday.  Right now I’m sticking to arranging them by subject. How do you organize your books? By size? Colors? Something different and awesome?

    I love the last picture. I remember the first time I came to your house, you told me about the plan to arrange by color. I arrange in alphabetical order (or numerical…Harry Potter) BUT I start with the Penguin classics first. Then I organize the rest of the books after them.

    That last picture is, indeed, great. I sort of organize by subject; all of my Barnes & Noble Classics are on the same shelf, but then they’re all … sort of the same subject?
