#BookmarkMonday (34): Double duty

Yet another bookcase that doubles as a bookmark! Only problem: it only holds 5 books!

It's the shelf. It's the wall. It's the wall shelf.

Booken (more like quicken ..)

... like my pulse quickening when I saw how gorgeous this looked in the second photo!

#BookmarkMonday (20): Bookmark-Bookshelf

I guess that technically this isn't a bookmark, oh but it is bookshelf, sidetable, and bookmark all in one lovely package. Probably the first bookmark I've seen that's bigger than the book!

... looks like there's lots more where those books came from.

Do you want some wine with that?

I know it's early yet, but what a great way to kick off the weekend :)

These ones are by Roy Mohan Shearer who used Zero Waster's Tengreen design. If you're a DIY-er, check out the instructions for Tengreen here. 

 

Not big on the DIY scene? Paris Flea Market sells these shelves. And you have a choice of the bottles in green, blue or clear!

 Want somewhere to sit after drinking all that wine? Check out fishbol's version of the wine bottle shelf!

Happy Easter (Bookshelf)!

How many books can this wood Chuck chuck?

Chuck is eco-friendly, bendy, and holds quite a surprising number of books.
Go see it at Hafriko Shop

Books waaay up there!

Earflaps bookshelf

"Earflaps" by Russian designers Decor Kuznetsov remind me of little robots!

Booksssssssshelf ....

This bookcase designed by NEL colectivo is inspired by the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, who took the form of a feathered snake.

Tension Bookshelf

This bookshelf is held together by tension. That balances out nicely with tension-reducing books, doesn't it? {Via.}

Hey, sexy!

The bookshelf. What else do you think I was talking about? ;)

Warped bookshelves

... on purpose! How convenient for my Kelly green bag! Definitely a conversation piece in itself. Who needs books if you've got this shelf? (That was a hypothetical question: of course we all need books!)

More pretty shelves from Modcloth!

Remember this pretty shelf called "Make your case?" I thought this was so cute (and quite a few of you did too!), that I decided to prowl around a bit more on Modcloth. Check out a few more pretty retro shelves after the jump and tell me which one is your favourite!

Finders Keepers Shelf reminds me of a library catalogue! Although it's pictured here as being used in the bathroom, I can totally imagine this mounted on the wall with books on the top (and the cubbies for all sorts of knickknacks.)

Shelf Expression's splash of paint really brightens things up! The books are on the desk ... not sure how many would make it on this shelf, which looks like something I would display a bigger coffeetable book, open to a great page, of course!

Crate your experience shelves are just that -- something to create your own little space with. There are tons of possibilities for this one. I rather like the idea of these looking like crates but not quite as modern-looking as a lot of the similar stuff I've seen. 

Knit your own ... bookshelf!

If you're in the mood for some knitting, consider this little project ... {Adrian Clutario}

Stack 'em up bookshelves!

It looks like any old shelf. Right? Wrong. Look closely and you'll see that the books themselves are integral part of the structure! See how it all comes together after the jump!
