Maybe in my dreams... there's major drama in these bookshelves set back behind archways. From Elle Decor.A place for everything, and everything in its place. There's really no excuse for having books strewn about your home when they (who "they" is, I don't know, but I thank "them") long ago created a piece of furniture with the sole purpose of holding... your books! Bookshelves can be small or large, simple or ornate, minimal or jam-packed. You can have just books, add knick knacks, show off art, or display your drool-worthy Jimmy Choo collection. Make them as stylish as they are practical. They don't even have to be expensive. Try Ikea shelves with invisible brackets topped with a few coffee table books and cool souveniers from your far-flung travels for a minimal, modern look. Spring is upon us (at least in the South it is) and it's time to get to cleaning! Start with something easy and get your books in one place. These pictures will help you along your way.
