I love the idea of stacked books on the floor, but I find it difficult to store books that way because I am constantly referencing them.<br /><br />I think your scheme sounds smashing!

When I saw the stacks of books on the floor I too, thought of Keith Irvine's—and Jacques Grange's—book laden rooms that feel welcoming to me. In a discussion with Mr. Worthington I once said how much I loved leopard carpets. He said they were OK as long as they didn't go too tawny. And I said, "Damn! Tawney is the best part!" Oh well, I think this means when my remodeling project is done and the new library/dining room with its leopard carpet, bookcases and books stacked underneath my console will not be up to Mr. Worthington's impeccable style. I already feel my personal FAIL start to come on.

Wasn't there a photo of his books stacked along stairs, too?<br /><br />I understand that if space is lacking, book piles on the floor might be the only way in which to store books. I personally can't do it because I like to be able to easily access books.The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-43227026320634503852013-08-08T10:36:01.963-04:002013-08-08T10:36:01.963-04:00Would it be niggling of me to voice an opinion abo...Would it be niggling of me to voice an opinion about stacks of books piled precariously high on the floors? <br />One saw that sort of thing at Keith Irvine's apartment.

John Cornforth's English Interiors 1790-1840 is a favorite on my own<br />shelf of his excellent books. The illustrations are primarily watercolours of the period covered--in fact I don't recall a single photograph, and that is<br />partly what gives the book its distinction.
