Before and After: Bookcase

The bookcase before:
Then I grouped the books by color, got rid of some, and added a piece of artwork.
I think the pops of color add a fun dimension to my studio. And apparently I remember books better by their color so it's easier to find what I'm looking for.

If any of you give this a try, I'd love to see pictures.

    It's nice that you incorporated your own artwork onto these creative shelves, which can be more than bookshelves. They're art shelves, showcasing many arts :)

    I've never heard of someone grouping books by color, but it's great. And, of course, it makes sense that an artist who loves words would group her books that way. I might try it!

    I think I need to clean out my bookcase. Yours is making me want to step into my computer and get a closer look.

    Well done and a great idea! I've enjoyed looking through your previous posts too! The story you wrote was sweet...I can think of many elderly people who would say holding a baby was the highlight of their month!

    Merry Christmas!

    Looks lovely! I'll have to remember this - I was just putting away books this afternoon and inwardly moaning that I have no organizational strategy!

    Your picture is what REALLY makes the bookshelf pop, though. :)
