Books everywhere!

I loved the fact that in the movie Caché (starring Juliette Binoche), the dining room walls were covered with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.

Like you're eating in the library! I think books really add character and warmth to a space. Plus, it'd be easy to just reach over, pull a book off the shelf, and strike up a conversation about it!


This photo reminded me of that movie:


I also love the kitchen in this very same home. "Organized clutter."

(Last two photos from a house tour on the Poppytalk blog.)

Actually, while on the topic of books in the dining room, I've had this photo bookmarked for a while now. (Not sure of the source.)
