Whatever home my husband & I end up settling in will have to have some serious built-in bookshelves given our love of books, and coffee table books for me especially. Actually, as long as I am going down daydream lane…a library would be even better. Here are some book storage ideas collected with the help of Pinterest.

Some books I would like to be leafing through right now. Clockwise L-R Library Lamp | Leo Fuchs: Special Photographer from the Golden Age of Hollywood | A Perfectly Kept House is the Sign of a Misspent Life | The Private World of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge | Encyclopedia of the Exquisite | Gecko magnifying glass | Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People {one of my favorite wedding gifts I received} | DIY Tassel bookmarks and Penguin Classics books | Vintage Cocktails | Agate Bookends | American Fashion Designers at Home | Etc | Cecil Beaton: The Art of the Scrapbook | Library Books mug | Engraved Book plates | Red reading glasses
Two of my favorite places in New York city to browse coffee table books are Clic Bookstore & Gallery by former Calypso owner Christiane Celle and Assouline, located inside the Plaza hotel’s mezzanine {images via Luxist}
