I would really, really, really, ridiculously LOVE a big Library…. oh yes I would. Just like one of these places above and below.

I was rearranging a few things in our apartment the other day, and I realised that we actually have lots of books and magazines. There’s all sorts of stuff there – from general interest, educational, fiction, design and architecture related, handbooks from university days (but why?), millions of magazines. And we even threw a lot out when we last moved, plus I still have quite a few books stored in my parent’s garage.

Anyway, enough about my problems.

Back to eye candy.

Paris Library. Oh my, I think I’ve just died and gone to heaven! {via sweethomestyle.tumblr.com}

I know, I know… The last one may be slightly unrealistic for my place, but a girl can at least dream, right!?

    Love, love this post. A room for books like Karl Lagerfeld – that’s a luxury.
