I think we may even eat in it more if we were surrounded by the books we love.<br />You did a fantastic job!<br /><br />xo<br />BrookeVelvet and Linenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254920453147895763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-64418600998058088532009-10-23T19:27:43.455-04:002009-10-23T19:27:43.455-04:00hmmm, well...to call a place a library I think you...hmmm, well...to call a place a library I think you have to have wall to ceiling bookcases, lots of soft leather chairs, and a rip roaring fire with some classical music softly playing ....some coffee or tea and oh, yes, some rain.

I decided long ago that the seldom-used d.r. would make a better library. In 4 yrs. time, I think I've cleared the book 3 times to serve guests. I normally use a table in the family room. Your "library look" is great - I love the old world look of it. I may turn my chairs around and stack books in them now! Thanks for the inspiration. laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-2350040225091838542009-10-22T18:37:44.987-04:002009-10-22T18:37:44.987-04:00Hi,

Might I suggest a faster lens or a flash?<br /><br />Anyway, great composition! I just thought I'd give my two cents and point out some areas to you that you might want to take into consideration next time =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-69071434305543872152009-10-22T14:49:05.226-04:002009-10-22T14:49:05.226-04:00Just fabulous!

Thank you for sharing your design ideas with the rest of us out here because I feel that I have entered a designer showroom everytime I open up your blog. It is a feast for the eyes and this dining room has so many great ideas it needs to be studied rather than just viewed.
