I have longed admired the look of books in a dining room. The library/dining room combination is certainly nothing new, but I think it's a great way to create warmth in a dining room. On the flip side, it gives the book lover an additional room in which to store books. This room multi-functionality is perfect for apartment dwellers and for those with small homes. If you own a large home with a formal dining room, why not take a small den, turn it into a library, and then use it for informal or small dinner parties?

ReplyDeleteLove it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the look of pictures hanging from the book shelves.
ReplyDeleteI have that Eliza dining room in my file too :) Love those lacquered bookcases!! But the second pic was new to me -- great find!
ReplyDeleteNice post! I am a total Book fanatic, and would have them in every room, but I think in a Dining Room, they are reall quite special. Take a look at my last post on Bookshelves, that is a Dining Room too, you may llike that.
