I still can't accept that there are that many pink books out there. Are you sure you're not dying them?

hi drifter! the room is really small (there's only room for the sofa and nothing else), but it doubles as a guest room--the sofa's also a bed.
hi bunchofpants and rakka--i would *love* more pink books, especially if they are read-worthy. let me know if you hear of/see anything!
hi abbyladybug--i'm happy it's finally done..
hi karlcow--not exactly--adobe bookshop's project was considerably more awe-inspiring. if i had a bookshop, it would be like that everyday :)

hi candy! i bought it in manila, it reminded me of the sofa in my grandparents' old house.
hi sugarfreak! i love it, i keep staring at it. maybe i should turn the sofa around :)
hi maomau! the room is so small, so dark, and doesn't have any free wall space, so i knew i had to do something with the books to add any sort of decoration to the room. i used to go for very subdued palettes but i guess i just said sod it. might as well go for broke :)

Hey, I tried organizing our CDs like you did:
It's harder than I thought! Also, too many white and black CDs.

wa-owww, sugarfreak--that is so cool. if i hadn't already taken out most of my cds from their jewel cases and moved them into binders, i'd probably do this as well. i ended up moving all my black and white spined books to the one shelf facing the sofa, i had a lot less than i thought i did, but i imagine i have a ton of cds with black or white spines.

belliebottom, you can do this in the smallest of spaces. i do hope you will and don't forget to show us what it looks like!
hello JůVěŊTįŊå--it was fun to do as well.
hi arimoore! i thought it would be, but it's turning out to be surprisingly easy. since i've read the majority of them, i tend to remember the general cover/colour, so that helps. i find i have a much more difficult time looking through the black+white shelves.

thanks to this photo I have finally sorted my bookshelf out- I only have four pink books though...I think if I combined all my books it might be different but i've got 'reading' books and 'looking' books in two different places. Anyway- thanks for the inspiration- now onto the cds.

Wonderful!! And I have to say...I don't have that many pink books either -unfortunately. Lots of blues and blacks (and even worse..beige). I have wanted to do this for a long time, however, my boyfriend and I are both librarians, and I'm afraid he feels it's not quite the best way to organize books :-(

hi cteresa! the whole room is lined with shelves. i have the black and white books on the other side.
hi ex-londoner! it was fun to do.
hi hanoian! i used to cover all my books with white paper and write the titles in black pen to make them all uniform. then i could afford more books, so this is the new solution :) hope you have fun with your project!
