Library Love

One of my very favorite things to do is to read - so much so that I have to watch myself and sparse out my books, otherwise I'd never get anything else done. Due to my love of books, and the fact that I don't give my books away, I've amassed quite a collection over the years. Right now we just have large Ikea bookshelves, but one day we plan on having a proper library. Most of my home design pins on Pinterest are of libraries (or lighting, which we all know I love), and I am constantly ripping out magazine pages of libraries to go in our "Future House" file. Here are some of my favorites:

Traditional Media Room design by Toronto Interior Designer Mark Dodge Design

Traditional Family Room design by Boston Design-build ARCHIA HOMES

Contemporary Living Room design by Burlington Architect Smith & Vansant Architects PC

Eclectic Hall design by Los Angeles Design-build HartmanBaldwin Design/Build

I love that the last photo looks like a public library. Now just add some height to it so I would need a ladder, and it would be perfect! Any suggestions of books to add to my collection?

More amazing private libraries and college libraries.
