I love our book case. The colours, the diversity, the amount of books and the inspiration. (We have no room for more, a problem that quickly needs addressing since I have my eyes on at least 3 books!) I've been looking at some of the books I got in Japan today, they're so beautiful. I feel very inspired! Just wanted to show you some photos!
Mat's books! I love how tidy they look, and the mix of black and colour. Ahh lovely.
You may already realise, but this shelf is also full of Mat's books. I love the variety we have!
One of my favourite and most inspirational books is Wall Paper. It has some beautiful designs, including the ones below.
 |
| The first is by Rachel Kelly. I love the use of colour - the subtle against the vibrant. It works so well and really drew me in. |
 |
| This one is by Florence Manlik. I love the different tones and the extremely fine lines. So intricate and detailed. |

| I was drawn to this piece by Destroy Rockcity because of the colours (I love the limited palette) and the boldness. |
And here are a few books I am lusting after at the moment. As soon as I have more pennies, these will be mine, I promise.
Below are some of the pages from Print & Pattern 2. They look stunning, I can't wait to see the rest! Hurry up pay day!!
And I NEED this series of Penguin Cassics, illustrated by Coralie Bickford-Smith. I've had my eyes on them since I first saw them the year before last. My needs are getting greater. They are just stunning. Not only are the books themselves wonderful, but I think I'd feel so happy having these on my shelves and holding them in my hands. WISH LIST!
Lovely blog post Abby :) I'm in love with all of the classics with their super pretty covers! The Japanese books are so cute! I love them! You've got such a gorgeous collection! My bookshelf deserves a mention but it's rather messy! xx
ReplyDeleteDid I see the Big Book of Illustration Ideas in there? One of my personal favourites, there's such diversity in the illustrations! And I'm in agreement about the Penguin Classics - if I had the money I'd buy the full set!! x
ReplyDeleteLovely bookcase mine has load of book as well but is a bit messy at the moment. I got naive book and it's so inspirational :) Great post!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you bookshelf when it's tidied Natasha, hehe! :)
ReplyDeleteYes! It certainly is Abi, it's beautiful isn't it? I could loo through these books for hours, they make me want to try so many things! I'm going to try and buy one a month from here on.. :)
Oh that's good, so you would recommend it then, Maria? Can't wait to get my hands it!
:) thank you ladies! xx
