I just had to jump on the rainbow-ordered bookshelves bandwagon.

Your books look so happy this way! Lovely.

I love this. I'm going to copy this idea - Someday.

excellent...i'm a little worried this would send me into a buying books spree (hmm, i need more shades of purple, and some deeper and more varied greens)
Katey Nicosia (59 months ago | reply)
celestialspirit13 - I was actually thinking the same thing. I definitely need more greens and pinks. Too many whites!

I LOVE it!! A favourite for me. I do it with my clothes and kitchen stuff but hadn't thought to do it with my books.
jelene (59 months ago | reply)
this is really cool!! i would love to do this, but with my obsessive tendencies it would bother me because i like to have all similar subject books together :-\
morningk (59 months ago | reply)
Yay! This just seems like such the right way to have them!

What a cool way to organize books -- I never would have thought to arrange them by color. Very cool.
Atzimba (59 months ago | reply)
this is great, I've never tried to arrange my books like this :D
Ivan Makarov (59 months ago | reply)
Wow .. I wish I had patience to do this. Looks great.

I love this. If I had the books, the bookcase or the room, I'd do it! HAHA I even tore a page out of a magazine not too long ago doing this same type of thing, but not necessarily with books, just whatever objects grouping them according to color. It looks amazing! :)

Very nice! So creative and vibrant--so much for those who say books ae dull! However, like jelene, I have to organize by topic. I then go by author's name and title. How's that for obsessed? :- P

It`s Really Fantastic!

That's cool I have done that with my dvd collection but I need more dvds to make the transition smoother. From what I read it encourages you to pick up books you don't read as often. Too many times we have titles we go back to again and again while other sit on the shelf for ages forgotten. Not to mention it looks sweet.

i set this image as my desktop background, and then rearranged my icons according to color on top of it!

CaptiveInnocencePhotography (59 months ago | reply)
Awesome idea! I would join in but my books/dvds/videos/cds/files (everything!) is alphabetized to perfection.. colours would be a whole new ball game! :P
It does look really effective though :]
And congrats on explore front page :p

What is your favorite book? Chihuahuas For Dummies?
Katey Nicosia (59 months ago | reply)
Haha no, not my favorite book. I love too many books to pick a favorite but to name the first one that comes to mind, I'd say Providence of a Sparrow by Chris Chester.

i've been trying to figure out a system for organizing my books - by author? subject? title? too many options and variables. i like this - organize them by colour.
sudergal (59 months ago | reply)
Very unique!
