Library room

 

The top image is a corner of my favourite library, the Wren library at Trinity College, Cambridge (image from idlethink ) - wouldn't you want to waste some time there?  I am enamoured with books and if I had the space for a library room, it would be stacked floor to ceiling with the written word like that.

All the library finds are from lovely Etsy sellers - check them out - I am especially hankering after a vintage library catalog drawer, it would be great for keeping all my vintage cotton bobbins, trimmings, zips and samples, neat and organised.

And some day, I would like to put some written word of my own into a beautiful artisan handbound book : )

  1. Love this post! My grandmother and great-grandmother were librarians -- and I'm married to a retired librarian.

    I can see why you love the Wren library.

  3. I love the look of library rooms!! It always reminds me of Beauty and the Beast (my favorite Disney Movie ever, of course). Love that library catalog file:)

  6. YES. I really want a library/reading room when we move. And it MUST have a card catalogue, even if I use it to hold other stuff. :-)
