Inspired Fridays is a weekley meme hosted by us @ Inkk
We love crafting and Pinterest just as much as we love books, so why not combine the two! Take part in our weekly meme and link back to us !
You don't have to actually craft anything "be inspired". Show us something you maybe have done, want to try, or even a cool looking book nook or library, Whatever inspires you! Happy Weekend!
Book Wall
<--check out this cool book wall! can you imagine using books instead of bricks to make a wall ! I found this picture on pinterest, but apparently this is real and is found in the Literati Cafe in CA. I checked it out , it's legit but its not a humongous wall .. more like the size of a window that was covered up.
still its very cool looking.
If you guys love bookish crafts like me, but hate using up perfectly good books, check out your used bookstore. I went to Makay's (which is a HUGE used bookstore / warehouse in TN) and they had hundreds of FREE books outside that i guess they wouldn't take. Granted most of them were encyclopedias and odd books but.. if you ever need book pages for a crafty project.. it's a great place to get some free ones.
Hope you guys are having a great weekend! TGIF
OMG, that is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteIt'd look wonderful as a full wall in a "book Cafe'", where people could sit comfortably in armchairs, drink coffee and talk about their favourite books! Ok, my mind is drifting away...
Great inspiration, Katie! Happy Friday!
yes! and i looked at the cafe online , it looks nice, like a great place to read. thanks for checking it out ! - Katie
Deletemmmm I love books and crafts, but I can't imagine doing that to books. :/ Any book. But maybe that's just me!
ReplyDeleteI know I know.. some people just can't stomach it.. i can totally do it in the name or art.. but it has to be some of those free books from the used book stores.. - Katie
DeleteIt's really beautiful and Franny has a good point, it'd look wonderful in a "book Cafe'". But honestly? I'm with Goldie, I can't imagine doing that to books, new or used. Still, the wall looks pretty gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteI know I know ... not everyone can hack up a book.. but really one book can help you do alot of projects.. and yes this wall is in a bookish cafe.. i just wish it was a bigger wall , it looks so cool. - Katie
DeleteWow that's so cool. I would love to see that in person.
ReplyDeleteMe too. if i ever make it to California i need to check it out! - Katie
DeleteImagine having one of your flat walls like that one! Specially the one right behind your favourite reading spot. It would be amazing! Thanks for sharing this idea, Katie. :)
ReplyDeleteI know it would look awesome as an accent wall , in a study or book nook ! love it! thanks for checking it out! - Katie
