library lust



I was inspired by this photo of Nigella Lawson’s library (posted by Ms. Katie of The Neo-Traditionalist) to create a round-up post of book collections that I adore. I truly can’t decide whose assortment of books I like best.
I applaud you if you can pick a favorite-- they're all so lovely!


Mr. Ryan Korban's books; photos care of the Wall Street Journal.

Tori Mellott in her New York City apartment, as photographed for Domino.

The home office space of Charlotte Moss. Obsessed with those lipstick red leather-bound Vogues.

j'adore Michelle Adams' bookshelves.

an array of books on Jess Nell Graves' coffee table.

How could I not include Hervé Pierre and his yummy stacks of
Schiaparelli hat boxes + design books? Perfection.

Ms. Katie Armour's lucite coffee table + book collection are swoon-worthy!

The office of The Rug Company's Suzanne Sharp. Love those bold colors + artwork!

I'm definitely lusting with you. Nigella's library makes me weak in the knees, and Katie's book collection is just gorgeous too!

Each one is better than the last, although it's hard to resist leather bound lipstick colored Vogues!

Mrs. Katie Armour's coffee table is dream-worthy! She's always talking about how it's a mess but from the looks of these photos her apartment must be stunning.

Oh dear. Nigella's looks very familiar to me! Especially those untidy stacks!
