The book shelves in our new home library. The shelves are Billy from Ikea. Now I'm just looking for the right armchair and carpet... :)
Hard covers to the left. Paperback to the right. Cookbooks and non fiction in the middle.

What an interesting way to shelf books! If only public libraries could be so creative. It must be easy to find it's home spot when returning the book?

It actually feels a lot more fun to have the books sorted this way. I'm finding books that I have "forgotten about" and because I have a pretty good picture memory I know how most of my books look and what color they are. :)
