Smacksy Sunday Links



I love books. I love the feel. I love the smell. I love bookstores and libraries. I've long envisioned living in a home with floor to ceiling bookshelves with one of those attached rolling ladders like the one in My Fair Lady. So I adore this site I've just discovered, courtesy of The Diversion Project. It's called Bookshelf P*rn and really it's just that - photo upon photo of lovely bookshelves. It is glorious.

I'm always up for a new simplification method. I'm going to try some of these ideas, just to mix up my mess.

My friend Lora posted a link to this fantastic video last week and made my day.

Happy Sunday.

  1. Eek! and ouch! I've simplified plenty and try never to add stuff. The very thought of getting rid of MORE books, made me shudder out loud.

    I think I peed my pants after watching that video. That was on top of the orgasm I had after browsing through the book shelves. I'm a freakin' mess over here. Um, thanks?

  2. Great video. And please tell Bob I have that lollipop I promised him for wearing a Yankee shirt.

  3. Oh that bookshelf site is to die for!!! I especially love the one with the grand piano and windows on each side - I could spend a long time in that space.

    I also like the phrase "mix up my mess." That sounds so much better then "cleaning"!

  5. Semi-proof I DO have good ideas, but lack the drive, the masters-of-the-universe-osity to strike it rich. Or something. I also invented the internet and diet potato chips.

  6. Sigh. Rushing to post my bookshelves to the ceiling pictures and I neglected to even mention the fact that I was putting up a link because I related to the bookshelf post. I like the shots that are in someone's actual home the best -- sure, a library looks cool, but they always shush me when I turn on Top Chef while curling up to read a new book, and some pissy librarian with a 'tude always smacks my bare feet off the table in front of me. Don't get me started on that time with the s'mores.

  7. that video was wonderful.

    Loved bookshelf porn, I had a friend whose uncle had a library with a rolling ladder like that. It was my favorite room in their house.

  8. I LOVE BOOKSHELF PORN. I have been following for a while now and just can't get enough. My husband isn't a big book fan like myself so he just doesn't get the appeal of this pictures or the smell of a fantastic piece of literature freshly pressed or 20 yrs old. Thanks for sharing the site with all your readers.
