I Heart Bookshelves

I heart bookshelves, yes I do!
…and usually the more book cluttered the home library looks the more I love it!

So in honour of that, today we are looking at inspiring images of bookshelves as the main living room feature in the home in thier many and varied forms.

Gypsy Styled Chic

From Maison Cote Est (Nov issue 2008) I though I would add this beautiful editorial featuring Gypsy Chic ( or boho chic, modern bohemian etc). This style is highly personal and very reflective of a persons personality. Combining all colors and styles, different patterns and textures, everything at once, complete harmony amid chaos!

Ever wondered what is would be like to live in a chic and colorful gypsy trailer? well now you can find out!

Modern Art Apartment

This is the apartment of psychiatrist and socialite Samantha Boardman. Lot’s of color, modern art, and suprising hijinks wherever you look! This is a very cool home that is just as arty as the art that resides within it!

The grand staircase with Warhol’s Del Monte and Campbell’s-soup boxes stacked to the left.

The long hallway from the front door leads into the dining room and is lined with Andy Warhol’s portraits of drag queens.

In the dining room, blue velvet Marc Newson chairs circle the table, and a glass-enclosed biosphere by artist Paula Hayes functions as the centerpiece. On the left wall hangs a William de Kooning painting, flanked by two Richard Prince paintings.

The library is very exciting along with man books you will see a plesiosaur skeleton that the Boardman’s bought at Bonham’s auction house hangs from the ceiling, along with an oversize chandelier found in a store in Palm Beach.

Nestled in the bookshelves in the library are penguin dioramas from John Norwood Antiques and skulls sculpted by Damien Hirst (silver) and Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof (pink).

A quiet cozy corner of the room.

The home study with its black walls and red desk. Pieces of note: On the mantel, there are glass flowers by artist Alessandro Pianon, and the fire-red lips hanging above are the work of artist Tom Wesselmann.

The ceiling in the more formal living room had to be reinforced to support the weight of the Jeff Koons dog hanging from the ceiling. To the right of the couch hangs a vibrant Cy Twombly painting.

I just can’t get enough of Nama Rococo and you will see what I mean when you see how pure art can become wallpaper and wallpaper pure art. This design is wonderfully chic, eccentric and so happy. I love everything about it!

The wallpaper design on canvas and repeated to create this grand statement of swirls and colors.
