What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Becky Harris to Houzz Interview: Rebekah's Weekend Farmhouse Retreat

It's so important to have a lot of fun books and games around in a weekend house.

added by Lisa Frederick to Sweater Chic Warms Up Fall Interiors

Sweater pillows make this daybed so inviting that I'd have a hard time not grabbing a book and curling up on the spot.

added by Alison Hodgson to 'Not My Precious Books!' — Pain-Free Ways to Declutter Your Library

Here the books aren't rigidly placed, but because there are only books, the feeling isn't messy — it's merely relaxed, which is perfectly suited for this weekend retreat.If your home doesn't have built-in bookcases, you can create attractive shelves relatively inexpensively with wood boards and simple brackets.

I like this use of loose books on shelves for avid readers who do not like structure. I also like the idea of using formerly used sweaters and shirts to make comfy throw pillows.
