book shelves...

I don't think I have ever shared

the book shelf in the formal living room...

So, I thought I would share it today...

it is a bit different than most

book shelves you see...

all the books are facing the wrong way...

some even have the covers pulled off...

or have been folded into a set of bookends
or in decorative loops and laid in an old European dough bowl...

and if you know me,
then you know I had to doll it up a bit more than just books turned backwards. 
 So, an old, old Bible lays open on the shelf...

and the irony of a book folded into a set of bookends...

some coral and some white china...

and finally a few family photos...

wal-law...book shelves, my style.
