study stacks

While at Macy's on the weekend {for Clinique bonus time of course}, I found myself going up to the furniture department. Macy's furniture is one of my favorite secret places. You can find Arhaus, Crate & Barrel, Room and Board, and yes...even PB styles there but for far less. Trust me...I am a researcher -- this is what I was do best.

As I was walking about dreaming in delight with all the possibilities, I came across this wall art and fell in love. Maybe I have been studying too much, but something about this wall made me stop and figure out how to take a picture with my phone.


I even found myself becoming a CIA agent as I spied on how the books were installed...and yes, I think I figured it out without being escorted out of Macy's by security.

What do you think? Have I completely lost my mind? I think it is a tres chic & a tres cheap way of adding interest with a collection. I have a wall in mind....we shall see.

Cheers~

    I love it! But, what books would you use? I think I am too attached to all of mine.

    everything.beautiful ~ great question....they used super glue to attach some nails and then hammered into that wall. The pages were glued to the specific pages they wanted open. It was so simple and so easy looking but definitely did the job.

    Christine ~ I would probably go find a few at Goodwill...b/c like you..I could never use from my own collection. I am sure I could find a few spectacular ones here and there along the way.

    Gosh...I wish I had my own office. This wall decor would be perfect for that. :)

    Cheers~

    Oh I love it!! What a great use for some of those Pharm books that you will never read again but can't bring yourself to get rid of because you sacrificed a weeks worth of groceries to afford! Oh yes, I do love some re-purposed text books!! I covered a few in paper with Mod Podge and use them to boost up a lamp in my living room!

    **It's a do!!!!!!**
