RALPH LAUREN, EAT YOUR HEART OUT........
I LOVE OLD BOOKS! TODAY I DECIDED TO PUT ALL THE GRUNGIEST ONES TOGETHER ON THE SHOP'S MANTEL SO THAT THEY COULD MAKE A STATEMENT. THEY ARE STAINED, TORN, WORN ,HAVE LOTS OF FOXING AND ARE BEAUTIFUL! THE ONE STANDING UP IS A GIANT DICTIONARY, VERY, VERY OLD WITH AN ABUSED LEATHER COVER. TWO OF THE STACKED ONES ALSO HAVE LEATHER COVERS AND THE BOTTOM ONE HAS NO COVER AT ALL. LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

I am in love with the little wooden trim turned picture frame! How ingenious!! Just goes to show that a simple little nothing can easily be turned into something wonderful and useful once again, with a bit of imagination! Thanks for sharing your lovely photos and ideas with all.
Love it all!!! I love old books even when they are worn and tattered-a sign that they were well used and loved:) I absolutely love what you did with the architectural piece-how clever!
The more worn they are the more loved they have been! Pristine books mean that nobody read them!
I am sooooo jealous!!! One of my fav collections....old books! Love this post...and also, thanks for stoppin' by the yaya. Hummm...wouldn't those look great in my new studio look? :)
Have a beautiful & creative day! xo...deb
