Book face
Monchéri and I were quite happy at the prospect of doing some painting this past week end. But we had an unexpected guest : the rain...again... So, adios limewashing and hello books organizing ! Do you remember this little bookroom I showed you a few months ago ? Well it didn't change much except that I did some book spacing yesterday.
This is before....
And this is after...This is before....
I replaced the white bonbonnières on the folding little tables with two wooden wine crates filled with a few favorite books. I love wooden crates and I cherish my books and the combination looks funny and pleasantly vintage market. Monchéri just objected with a smile that it barely leaves no room for a glass on the coffee tables. Well, but isn't it nice to grab a book while having your coffee too?
So I like to mix objects and books on nearly every surface, in all the rooms.The collage on the left was made by my sister, still waiting to be framed
Here is one of my favorite plays Long day's journey into night placed next to a book of sketches by Garcia Lorca
Music stands are great too for books scaping. These are part of a set of 12 books on history of music. Each cover is beautifully graphic.
Talking about books and scriptures, look at this very pretty cushion which I was very lucky to win some time ago at blogging friend Agneta's give away. It is the creation of Swedish designer Elizabetth Henberg (Design by E). Thank you Elizabetth !
And I got doubly lucky because Agneta sent me another lovely surprise : this adorable mushroom which is now dangling around my neck. It is designed by a Swedish company called Plain Vanilla which creates very pretty things. Thank you Agneta !!

Sounds as though you had a very cozy weekend and maybe it was fun. Love looking at book titles, always!
Ottimo suggerimento!

Anche qui pioggia... Argh!
I vote for the wine crates... .
your touch of the petite herbs is perfection, nestled in the books.
It's so good to visit your parlour
again!
Jjj
The little silver mushroom is wonderful too.
Love how you re-did the coffee tables.
Always nice to get a fresh take on things and inspire others in the process.
And that necklace in just incredibly adorable.
Bravo!!
