What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Kit Pollard to Buzzword to Watch For: "Heritage"
Books are actually a great way to keep a family history alive - with a little care, they're easy to pass down, and they tell a story of a family's interests and experiences. And that is really at the core of "heritage."
added by Kit Pollard to Trend-Resistant Classics
I couldn't resist including this picture of built-in bookshelves. These shelves are so over the top - it would take years to fill them, but it would be fantastic.
added by Kit Pollard to Just One Wall: When the Accent Wall Works
And here, books are the accent. (By the way, I can't stay away from this photo—ever since I discovered it, I've been coming back for more. I just love it.)
added by Amy Renea to Put Pianos Into Play
Combine hobbies by placing a baby grand in your library. Can't you just picture afternoon hours filled with literature and music?

so we don't have this much music... or maybe we do. Where's it all going to go? The violins and guitars and trombone too? some in the basement space too. piano should be a normal part of the living space. Maybe a theme of music related things in the house but now tmp. Things like a antique piano stools for the kitchen. I don't know what else. Not obvious though. maybe?

3. The Library. Ah, the library. Yes, I know this space is a luxury and that it's not exactly in keeping with the "not so big house" philosophy. I know it's kind of wasteful. I know that kindles and iPads may one day render huge book collections obsolete. But I don't care. I love to read (and, judging by all the book-related ideabooks, so do most of you) and I think the idea of a room dedicated entirely to books sounds incredibly romantic.
