Get Excited

Preface: You have no idea how many extremely inappropriate titles I came up with for this post. Why I'm choosing today to attempt censoring is lost on me.

Anyway, I found a neat site on Tumblr called Bookshelf Porn that showcases amazing bookshelves from around the world (some are real, some have been imagined, and some are videos too- oh yea, baby, get excited, if you know what I mean, wink, wink, nudge, nudge. By the way, porn makes me laugh).

Sorry if you misunderstood- we're talking about actual pieces of furniture and how they hold things, not bookshelf porn as in the scene where Tom Cruise and Kelly Preston are going to town against theirs in Jerry Maguire.

Anyway, I could spend hours on this site- I find it fascinating how people organize their books and appreciate how books and their shelves can become the focal point of a room. Bookshelves can be modern, minimalistic, ornate, or antiquated depending on their owner.

Here's their current homepage (it changes as they add new posts):



My favorite include January 21st, January 4th, December 29th, and December 23rd (and that's just in the last few months).

My dream home would include a library with vaulted ceilings, built-in shelves along all walls top to bottom, and a rolling ladder. Not to mention a wet bar, fire place, and "no kids allowed" sign (for future issues... I mean offspring).

I'm finished. Was it good for you? [insert winking smiley face here..]

  1. Whoa there Tiger! lol You're so funny.
    I love the look of a whole wall of books and a cute little ladder. You didn't mention the fake book that opens the secret passage way to your bat cave.

  6. Wait... So, I'm not the only one that fantasizes about this...???

    I guess I don't know enough book-lovers personally, because I felt completely alone in this sentiment. Ahhh. You're my new friend.
