For me all bookshelves (especially messy ones) are simply wonderful and each time I visit friends I love browsing though their collections and getting to know them more through what they read. Finally, last night I reorganized one of our book-corners and colour-coordinated all the books. Instantly the room transformed! I love how fresh and fun those book-arrangements look. Have you ever colour-coordinated your bookcase? xoxo

I think it looks very pretty but is it easy to find the book you are looking for?
Rali, I think with smaller size bookshelves it's not a problem.
I did it with mine last year, it looks much more organized and calm now, but now I always have to remember the colour of the book to be able to find it quickly :)
I love books and bookshelves too. I have mine organized by tone too, but only fiction. I like to to have everything organized by category first!
I'd be in heaven if I had this!
I've seen this look in a few places -- it's so much fun! Your bookshelf becomes a work of art instantly!
suuuuuuuuuuuper!!!!!!!!!!
have a great sunny day sweetie!
ugh i need to get a book case. my books are all in piles in our guest bedroom. i am hoping to find one thrifted and then refinish it.

My closet, yes..my bookcase, not really. I put the beiges, grays, blacks and whites as neutrals along with other colors so it's not too coordinated. Hmm.. maybe I should try it.
What fabulous inspiration! I actually need to reorganize my bookshelves. I'm getting rid of a lot of old books. Will definitely be color coordinating :)
Have a great weekend, sweetie! xoxo
Ive seen a few of these book shelfs before and I love them. They are so bright and fun and would just make any room pop! I hope you have a lovely weekend!
Thanks for the much needed inspiration. I need to rearrange my book shelf NOW! :)
Love that last photo!
Happy weekend doll!

i do this in my kids room and it makes me feel so good, even when there are toys ALL OVER THE PLACE!
happy friday!
our books are arranged by colours too... so fun!
happy week end love!
This looks so neat but I don't have enough colorful books to do this! Hope you have a lovely weekend!
p.s. I received my necklace from Ruche yesterday and I love it! Thanks so much!
colored coded bookcases that's a great idea.
Aww..so happy you got it, Staley:)
That is a great idea, Kristina. Thanks!
i looove it :)
Aww! We need more books to color coordinate but would if we could!
I like browsing messy bookshelves but keep my own fairly tidy. Those flowers in the last photo are beautiful. Must bring some home today :)
Gosh, that is such a cute idea - who knew it would change up a room! Great idea!
I love books, great and very interesting idea dear Diane!
Kisses and happy weekend.
I love this but it would never work for me - I have too many books and they're all academic monographs that I have organized by subject!

I tried to do this with my own bookshelves, but it just doesn't look as good. Oh, well. Have a lovely weekend, sweetie!
I have tried this with my books... I need more colorful ones! ha ha. I love that last book shelf though, looks retro.

i love this idea! right now we have our large bookshelf organized by type (fiction, non, art, cookbooks, h's medical/econonmic/nerdy books) but this would be fun to try! xoxo jcd:: cornflake dreams
I believe in the power of a beautiful color-coordinated bookshelf, too!
I even color coordinate mine and my fiance's closets. :)
