belle maison is french for "beautiful home." as an interior designer, i started this blog to catalog my finds, hoping to inspire others by sharing fabulous resources, articles and photographs. enjoy and please visit again! xo - julie thigpen
I agree with Billy!
ReplyDeleteoh, I so agree and i love them stacked right from the floor like they are in the 2nd from the last photo. maybe not that high :) but stacked just the same. with sculpture or anything else on top. books are warm and they add interest. happy monday!
ReplyDeleteI love books!
ReplyDeleteI believe the 2nd photo from Architectural Digest is of Diane Keaton's home/art. It reminds me of Union Station in downtown Los Angeles.
I love books too, so I agree with all of you.
ReplyDeleteTeri's right, it's Diane Keaton's library! It's a very inspiring home even if she's got a tad more money than most of us...
ReplyDeleteI love books, but making them look good on shelves is quite a decorating challenge! These photos provide both inspiration and hope for my own shelves =)
Love the picture of you and your hubby, btw. You look so gorgeous and happy!
i hope that quote isn't from the ACTOR billy baldwin! a c k! but even if it was, i'll get over it. i am crazy for books! and they look great in these pics!
ReplyDeleteI super heart books, and hate that all the HGTV shows say you have to hide them -- So i super love your finds (and wholeheartedly agree with the quote)!!
