Great Reading Area Under the Stairs
Isn't this a clever use for an entrance hall. I love the bookshelves going up the twisting stairs and on the landing. More interior photos of this 18th century farmhouse here.

Perfect Way to Spend a Sunday Afternoon
I adore this photograph. It captures the perfect nap surrounded by a Duke's favorite things.

Such A Lovely Library and Print Room
This is fabulous. Teleport me there now! I think I will need a more comfortable chair, please, if it's not too much trouble. via

Globes and Libraries = Perfect Together
I am a terrible map reader and am so thankful for the GPS turn by turn voice directions on my phone. For some reason I've always loved globes and old maps. They look so nice in a library. via

Book Borrower Warning
Black is the Raven, Black is the rook, But Blacker is the rougue who returns not this book.
A wonderful warning written around 1839 in the front of an 1810 copy of Robinson Crusoe.
Have you ever loaned a book that was never returned? via

The Life of George Eliot - A Most Dangerous Woman
Looking forward to seeing this play next week at the Shakespeare Theatre of NJ. I photographed this wonderful graphic ad in a restaurant last week.
"This world premiere explores the extraordinary life of Mary Ann Evans — better known by her pen name George Eliot. An outcast living a socially unconventional life, Evans was forced to write under an assumed name, not only to escape having her work judged by virtue of her gender, but to avoid having it judged by virtue of her scandalous life. Ironically, her success as George Eliot only led her deeper and deeper into a world of secrets and deception."

The Reading Room
I would have to sit in this unusual chair first before giving it my leal of approval. I would probably trade it for a comfy armchair and ottoman. via Amanda Patterson

Secret Window
Bifold raised-panel shutters not only make a handsome frame for the window, as in this Georgian-era library, but they also help keep drafts at bay. If you look closely, you will see the hinges for the bottom shutters. When they are open the room must be twice as wonderful with such a large window to frame the view and let in more natural light. via
