Books

Room with Finn Juhl furniture and lots and lots of books. It’s worth reprinting this Anna Quindlen quote on books:

“I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.”
~Anna Quindlen, “Enough Bookshelves,” New York Times, 7 August 1991.

Photo via Kelly Lynn Waters’ blog  Halcyon Days, where I also first saw a photo of this book-filled bedroom.

And while on the topic of books, I can’t even explain why I love the etching below so much, but every house should have a copy. Even if it is, like mine, a xerox on newsprint found in thrift and posted on the fridge.

One problem with ebooks is no more owls on books on donkeys.
