Art and...Books?

I hope each of you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend.  How did you spend it? 


What does art and...books have in common?  Not a lot but they sure can look good together.  Are you wondering what in the world I mean by this?  Take a look...

I just adore hanging artwork to the front of bookcases like this.  It sort of makes the books fade into the background a bit all while giving the bookcases a real focal point.

Even a mirror will work.  I really like this round one since all the bookcase cubbies are square.

Even more interesting using art along with a bookcase that is wallpapered in the back.  Lovely!

Pretty snazzy too adding art to a painted bookcase back...love these bold colors (and notice the artwork doesn't even have bright colors).

So...what's the verdict?  Do YOU like using artwork on the front of bookcases?  Share your thoughts if you'd like...we'd love to know.

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!
