Bedrooms & Bookshelves

There are many things I would do if I was still single and living in a warehouse or loft would be one of them.  Not sure I could sleep with a taxidermied (is that even a word?) animal that close though.  This person obviously has no intention of being anything other than single if the single bed is any indication.

I know I post way too many pictures of bookshelves but I can't help myself - they are my favourite part of any home and considering the amount of books I own, they are going to need to be a major part of our renovation. 

Shop Love - well bar actually

The Wellesbourne in Los Angeles has me all in a dither.  I want to slide into one of those booths with my well worn copy of .... well anything really..  and wile away the hours reading, drinking tea and hopefully being served by a 'Jess Mariano'. 

Surprisingly there seems to be a trend in LA at the moment for 'Literary Bars' and I'm hoping the trend finds it's way to Melbourne very soon!  If crass, brash LA can do it then what on earth is to stop cultured, thoughtful Melbourne from doing it even better?

Bookshelves

Anyone who has been to my house will know that my favourite part of the house is the bookshelves.  My wall of books was one of the first things that Surfer Boy built for me when we bought the house.  Unfortunately he has refused to continue it on to another wall even though I have begged and pleaded.  Therefore when I get my studio/office upstairs I will be taking the opportunity to seriously expand.  I found these fabulous bookshelves here and they remind me a little of mine.
