DINE-IN LIBRARIES

LA SALLE A MANGER BIBLIOTEQUE

I have a small library and a dining room with original glazed corner cabinets so a dine-in library is not in the cards this time around. Too bad. I am in love with them. What could be better? A room with a table that is used only at mealtimes, which can serve as a reading/consulting/note writing table all the other times. All this and a good number of books at your hand. So clever. 
On the purely decorative side, a library is such a very cozy place, full of neat horizontal and vertical lines, color and great texture. The bookcases themselves can disappear under a coordinating coat of paint or scream "look at me" thanks to brilliant color, fine detailing and the careful arrangement not only of books but of art and treasured objects.
