Pinteresting: Bookshelf Inspiration

I have completely outgrown my current bookshelf (#totalbookworm) and am on the hunt for some ideas for both new bookshelves to invest in as well as ideas on how to decorate it once I pick one out. I also have to be conscious of space because my apartment doesn't have that much room for a major bookshelf installment at the moment. So, I took to Pinterest for some ideas and have shared a few on my favorites below. (PS- you can follow me on Pinterest here)

Let the ideas begin:

I love the wallpaper background on these shelves- think they add such a fun and whimsical touch! I also love the addition of the bright pink baskets and blue bookends used as decorations on the top of the shelf.

I love that this bookshelf is filled with just books! I know that sounds rather silly, but with as many books as I have, it's nice to see that there is a stylish design that is just based on books being books :)

Books in My Basket

If there is anything you never  always wanted to know about me, I bet it's what a bookworm I am! Am I right?! ;) Well it is the truth, I absolutely can't get enough of the book section and spend way too much time at the local library and bookstore. And what better place is there to store your books than a big wicker basket?? :) I'm about to start "Shopaholic to the Stars" but would love to hear if you have any great recommendations! Leave your suggestions/favorite books in the comments below!

Good Reads

Happy Monday Friends! I hope that y'all had the most fabulous of weekends! I spent some time at home to help my little sister get ready for her homecoming dance (I'll be sharing pictures soon!) It was so fun spending some time with my sweet family!

Now onto today's fun look! I'm such a bookworm and there is absolutely no better way to spend a sunny Saturday than enjoying a fun chick lit book (and sipping on some yummy coffee of course)! Fall has 100% hit Florida and it has been SO fabulous! I'm soaking up every minute of this beauty. What's your favorite way to spend a gorgeous weekend?

Saturday Stroll

One of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday is browsing my local bookstore. I love perusing the shelves and discovering what is going to be my new favorite (I re-read my books about 17 times each)! For trolling the shelves I love the combination of a comfy sweater and shorts. Add an oversize tote to haul your finds and you are ready for the day!

Bookworm

I know that Kindles, Nooks, and iPads are all the rage these days for reading, but I am an "old-fashioned" girl when it comes to books- I love 'em bound and in my hand! There is just something about opening a musty book from the library, diving into an enrolling story, and spending your Saturday morning curled up reading cover-to-cover that makes me so very happy!

I spent many an afternoon growing up weaving my way through the shelves of my local library, reading back covers and picking the stories I was going to take home with me. I just love being there! Taking these pictures was like a throwback to my youth and it was so much fun. I think you can tell from my smile that Gentry + Shelves of Books = a happy girl!
