... No cliff notes needed...
just an open mind

"A room without books, is like a body without soul." - Cicerro
Book worms. I believe can come in all forms.
Whether it is a design, lifestyle, or cook book, those are the ones I love & collect. With these books, you don't need cliff notes & you get inspiration in all forms!
While some get lost in novels, I get lost on the pages in my coffee table books. You just never know what you may find! SO many ideas, recipes, and inspiration are in these books. Just like novels, you can get lost...

The thing I love about these books is that they serve more than one purpose. You can enjoy the information between the pages (I used the ones above for tonight's menu... let's hope he likes it!) & use them to decorate!
Stack them up whenever you please & topped them off with an indoor plant (cheap ones at Walmart!). It adds that little extra something you are looking for in a space! My eyes tend to flock towards those that have a pop of color, its eye catching in a room...

I have even taken this look into my office. Keep your eyes open! I found these gems (if you are into the material handling & supply chain type stuff) while we were cleaning out our old library here at work. They were going to be thrown away... so, one man's trash is another man's treasure!
OK, so I probably won't read these, but they were fitting for the office environment.
Go pick up a book and see where it takes you. A home cooked meal or new look to a room, and anything in between!
... oh Tuesday...
...a couple more pages... I said two hours ago...
