Pottery Barn
All my decorating books are still packed up from when we were getting our house ready to put on the market last year {we’re off the market now}, and I have no bookshelves to put them on at the moment. Until I can find something suitable for my living room, I found some inspiration in these pictures.

And why not? I have my large square coffee table {that I had painted black this past winter}; plenty of room for some books. So I went in search of the boxes containing my books and using these inspiration pictures came up with this.
Here is the coffee table “before”, but after I had painted it black.
Here’s the “after” with the books. A small change but one that makes a difference for me, because now I can have my decorating books out and available.
I added some of the accessories I had on the table back in and included that little decorating book in the center.
I tried to keep like shapes together and kept the stacks equal heights.
This will do for now. I have my books easily at hand, they are neatly arranged, and because of the space they take up, think of how much dusting I’ll cut down on.
Notice that screen in the background of the last picture? I have a short post coming up about that soon, and how it actually worked out for me when I did a “let me just keep it here for now” placement.
