greenbacks


My favorite nook in my currently color-coded book cubby is the green one. Heaven bless Penguin for sticking with sea green for so many years. And yes, I did take an entire class on Graham Greene. And no, I can't get those "Used Saves" stickers off for the life of me.

I love that photo. Willa Cather and David Sedaris are two of my favorite authors.

I love how that looks! I have been thinking about color-coding my books for a while now, but haven't quite dared to do it.

Was your Graham Green class by Dr. Miller? I took an entire class on Willa Cather and loved it.

Books are such a comforting sight.
Color-coding is a cute idea. You would think of that.

my favorite section in my bookcase is the red section and how it slowly sneaks into the orange realm without a notice.

I love how you find the beauty in the simplest things. It's very inspiring.

(And I like the "Used Saves" stickers, by the way. They add character.)

Ali - Yay I just added a button. I love both of your sites, you are one hip chick, funny too I might add.

There is something so organizationally soothing about sorthing things accoring to color. This looks relaxing and lovely to me.

What a beautiful photograph, love the colour coordinated books. By the way, what are 'Used Saves'?

Love this idea. We just moved and organized our book shelves and I may just have to reorganize. What a 'colorful' idea.
