Adding height with books.

<img height="480" src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxniuj9dUE1qb1fuio1_500.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="640" /> <br />I love this work area featured in the above picture. I grabbed it from my <a href="http://designaddictmom.tumblr.com/">tumblr</a> to share today because it oozes inspiration and creativity.  I love the display board(i’m not sure what material it’s made from though), the whimsical lamp and i adore the rustic element of the table against the ruffles of the fabric. However, what really caught my eye is the use of the books as a stand for the lamp. Doing this not only elevates the lamp to add balance, but it also brings your eyes up. I actually do this all the time in my own home. Books lend themselves to a myriad of uses and they still remain aesthetically pleasing no matter how they’re being used.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbG4yjw4yL9xx2omYIKy4_miJOuTjUVvGAaUoTRzEFjz6QauyzGyHyahpZ33CYjRiR4fvtrExrEOx4UNanAAxAjpZWH537aPv7XulzMNZiCRhd2DezriizxmoeuFGQ48rqdyOBNSxOGB9A/s1600-h/random%20012%5B12%5D.jpg"><img alt="random 012" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI49dInckaBQWsG4KZRx7HzD7aLQBQkG35qt6wKwbiOqXmDo7E_KjuM3sAcqBT_2I5lLt6ydo2T7Tl5QhE2m_aCQr7iReM-73_3YRGMNnCVGMIlPP6hm62TpX_hnU0QNgRQJbAv7btdYJ9/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="random 012" width="644" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBpCWsHjxUzlcoXNpT4XPAf9K0NljvdCwsVzpwQyCbJW_Yae2EWJ_cC9XttmWjOEUSzwzi8B0oIp4XgV7b8xpo52DVEs79LwJmncc9_ByXS12j6ZbnqbOe1NfIwpG-qX9dTSGnfOiF8BEu/s1600-h/random%20008%5B19%5D.jpg"><img alt="random 008" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtA6Z4Jyq3L6SN_9Xi5xuB5F-jjeDTo2OZZLi32tr3AKsH9wbcyz8rX2RRPNqPN0mYAu1O11FKVEcfAPV7iqm3SyIRf4LVbRYuj2u6EFcghcdQPJ6j-eJShhzqw8Nmm22Fk4VMnBJNmznO/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="random 008" width="644" /></a> I probably should have tidied up my area a bit before i took these pictures of my home. The second picture shows my use of magazines as a stand for the lamp in my very small office:-). This is a closet in my home that i converted into an office a few years ago. I will do a separate post about my little office soon… So my friends, do you use books or magazines as a stand for lamps in your own home? Do share.<br /><br />P.S. Thank you all for the warm anniversary wishes and i did speak with dearest husband too! He also read the post and adored it. I’m totally blushing now:-). Muah to all of you!

It blends seamlessly into its environment. Also, who wouldn’t love the gorgeous, almost seductive landscape with its sinewy lines. It just beckons you in to come and enjoy all that it has to offer. I can imagine that it’s the quintessential entertaining hotspot too. Although the interior of the house is too pristine for my taste, i love the architectural details of each space and how almost every room has a view to the fantastic outdoors. Thanks to the wall of windows everywhere! Did you see that bathtub? One could soak for days in that thing!
