Books as Decor

I'm all about decorating within color schemes and adding pops of color to my home.  One of my favorite ways to do that is through books.  Books you may ask...yes books!  Everyone owns a bunch of books (some of us may own way more than they would care to admit...guilty) and they are often just sitting on a shelf...collecting dust.  Well, not my books, okay not the color coordinated ones.  I love to take books in a certain color scheme and use them to decorate my home.

I've used them to add color my hutch and height to a lamp.



To lean up against necessary objects on my nightstand....


...and to tie the color from our bed spread into the nightstand.  


Books are such a simple way to add color, interest and not spend any money!  I love repurposing common items for decoration!
