own house," but remember the lyric
"these are a few of my favorite things."
The idea is not to fill all the shelves at
once with books in rows–that's called a
library–but rather to create a gameplan
for presenting your authentic style, color
loves, and personal vibe. It should never
feel finished and it will organically
change over time. Clump your books
in loose color groups, sort by size, and
remove dust jackets if too worn. Don't
worry about having enough books. It is
better to be spare and collect books in
real time. Big coffee table books are a
treat and older books can be found at flea
markets and tag sales. An insider tip:
buy gently used books at a fraction of the
cost on
amazon.com.
