Book Cover Inspiration
I get a lot of decorating inspiration from old books, and new books with pretty covers. I laid out a few of my favorites to look at the covers and thought about arrangements, colors, and patterns. I like displaying different ones at different times. For instance, Hamlet is a new find, so I want it to take prominence wherever it’s placed. One of the things I like to do is move my books around so that my eye has a new place to land. It mixes things up and while the books are familiar, they also seem new because of the change. Here are some close-up shots of the books I’ve been finding inspiration from for some time:

I love this post! I get such a kick out of musty old books and their wonderful, colourful covers. I especially like the covers of Nine Stories and Hamlet. Lovely!
