We took out a few shelves from the top to leave three squares for large-scale accessories that I am in the process of acquiring:)
A friend sent me a link to this amazing sign from Three Potato Four, and I knew I had to have it. It comes in raw wood.
Without the paint on it:
But I thought it could use a little glitz.
With a quick application of gold metallic spray paint:

Love your library! I have a question though. How are your books organized? We just moved and we have a ton of books and I'm trying to organize them in a way that is functional and pretty. Any ideas? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI feel like that sign deserves a wolf whistle!
ReplyDeleteLove that sign! The gold metallic paint is great!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE GOLD LIBRARY SIGN! I use gold spray paint on just about everything!
ReplyDeleteI just love your library! Wish I had one like it. The sign is great too! I've always dreamed of having one of these. I do have two large book cases now. Come visit us sometime on the web.
ReplyDeleteAmazing...as usual :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome Jessica. How nice to have a library too. Thanks for sharing with the newbie party.
ReplyDeleteI love your library, Jessica. You are so lucky to have one!

Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI really like the rhythm, pattern, and "breathing space" the removal of a couple of shelves created. Having a few larger objects in those spots will be a great counterpoint to the books. Happy "acquiring" of objects :)

I love that sign! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of your library!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a office/library & have been begging my hubby to do built in shelves for all my books! I can't wait to show him this!
And the sign! I've been eyeing that sign forever! Lucky Girl!
Your library is awesome! What a nice touch with the lettering.
ReplyDeleteCame over from the Newbie Party to see a perfectly planned place for perusing books! Love it - even though I am mostly a primitive person, this appeals to me. Must be my love of books!

I think lettering always makes a bookshelf look finished. I like it! And it looks like you've designed a lovely home from the looks of the library. Have fun decorating! I'd love to have you stop and see me at Quirky Vistas some time!

ReplyDeleteVisiting from the newbie party!
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteYour sign is great with it's makeover.....but can we address the bookshelves? Really. *sigh* My house needs to get lessons from yours!
