Need something to do this weekend? How about getting a head start on organizing all those intellectually stimulating, or deliciously guilty pleasure books collecting dust in that very nondescript bookcase in the corner? In an age where Kindle's, ipads, and e-books are quickly becoming the go-to information source at a mind-numbing speed, there is something very tangible and nostalgic about getting your information the old fashioned way. But old fashioned does not have to mean, well old fashioned. Here are some ways that your books can take a more creative role in your home's decor.
I'm not a huge fan of faux anything - except faux fur - but I found a fun and quirky use of a faux fireplace at an open house for a Better Shelter home. This could also work nicely for any niche you might have in your walls.
You could also give your books a more decorative role on the wall in place of pictures or mirrors as in the following images.
Or for a more random composition try this bookshelves made of painted steel.
If you're short on space and your furniture needs to do double duty, this wine bar makes curling up on the couch with a glass of wine and a good book even easier!
Here's a great space saving solution for displaying your cook books while keeping them off the counter, and away from potential spills.
For those of us with a little OCD, what could be a better way to spend your weekend?
And if you're looking for a bookcase that says, random is the new square..
