One of the joys of my childhood was the bookmobile! The other was the ice cream truck.

Black and White (and a bit in between) by Celerie Kemble
I am a firm believer in the use of black in design, I am sure we all know that. I think it gives that classic clean edge that every space needs. I put this book on my Christmas list this year (I am a design book junkie) and I completely LOVE it! I am amazed by how many of the photos in the book I have used here on the blog.
Celerie Kemble did a great job in bringing some great interiors together and she even has a chapter devoted to my sweet grey!! So I have still got to read more of it but I thought I would let you all know that it is a great hard copy of some really great design photos out there with some great content on design itself brought to you in a very down to earth way.
Also, I added a little design library link on the bottom of the blog if you are looking for some great inspiration in hard copy most of my favorites are there!

Grey Library..
Oh my goodness can you imagine the hours you could spend here, just reading and browsing..
I think there should be an extremely comfortable lounge some where just across from this to use as needed!

A Royal Nap
Are you smiling yet? I can't tell you how much I love this photo of 'The 11th Duke of Devonshire taking a nap in the Lower Library of Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, circa 1995' Shot by Christopher Sykes. I love peeking into the private lives of English Royalty. via

grey in the library..
Can you imagine reading the day away on this yummy sofa with all of these amazing books.. I just need a fire and a tall glass of water to make it all complete. I hope your week is moving along nicely!

House Tour: A Copenhagen Beauty
Love this space
The color of the china cabinet is perfect to add some interest to the space.
Two images above show the entryway. The owners have used mismatched chairs in lieu of a console.
Great idea to remember - oversized prints hanging side by side in the hall
Perfect desk - plenty of surface area to spread out inspiration
LoVe that chair and the gorgeous view!
I don't think I could ever do orange in my bedroom, but this wallpaper is beautiful. I could do it in my home office I think - as orange is supposed to boost creativity.
I am a magazine hoarder, because I've found that sometimes I'll flip through a magazine from a year ago and something will catch my eye that didn't the first time I looked through it. So perusing last summer's magazine is sometimes like opening a brand new magazine. This bookshelf has the perfect sized cubbies to store mags.
