books

I have a peculiar manner in arranging my books.  Instead of organizing by subject, author or heighth I arrange by color on the spine.  I have done this since I was a small girl.  Here are some of my favorite cookbooks above my phone and worktop area in my kitchen.  Like a rainbow...
I have been noticing this trend as of late in design magazines.  I was ahead of the trend!  How are your books arranged?

no comments?

I guess I need to learn a lot more about blogging.  Any suggestions?

Happy 2013!

Happy 2013 to you all!  In honor of the new year I am posting one of my all time favorite things, the Linnea Designs poster calendar.  http://www.linneadesign.com/_calendars/hannah_popup_1.php 
This is a combination of two of my requirements in bringing anything into my home:  1.  functional and 2. beautiful!  The illustrations are done by Johanna Riley in simple, yet vivid colors and shapes.  I first received this as a gift almost 15 years ago from my very thoughtful sister-in-law and promptly hung it on my wall.  It has been a constant in my kitchen for that many years.  Pity that I didn't think to save them all as they could be re-used in seven years time.  Hang one or two (like mine) or all 12 at once for an instant gallery wall and glance at the year to come!
