Clouds of white books
Mon, 26 Jan 2015
An oasis of calm after the ceaseless clamour of the day. Respite. Retreat. Classical meets modern. Neutral sophistication. Elegant and urbane with a dash of controversy. White painted books? In this San Francisco Decorator Showcase library interior designer Geoffrey De Sousa explores the role of books and the room that contains them in a world of tablets and the Cloud.

It's all very pretty BUT it must be a nightmare to find a book to read!
Not very practical...Books are pretty as they are. Not need to hide the covers...
Well,if this is a book collection then the books have to be protected, hence the white covers.
Very nice table with collection.
The woodwork is absolutely gorgeous. I suspect the ridiculous white covers hide a massive collation of Danielle Steele and Victoria Holt.
Yes maybe it's not very practical but the visual result is amazing. Just love it.
What is the point of having a vast library and collection, and you spent time looking for the book you wanted to read? Love the library, wish I have such space and such classic set-up. But in all practicality, I have only one question; read much or OCD much?
All of the books from my home library I already read. I buy a book, read it and put it in the library. And sort them alphabetically. My are of course multi colored, but there is a way to find a book also with one colored covers.
