I just saw this clever tree in the Rochester Anthropologie store:
Old books stacked high to create a tree shape, with large lights.
I want this - in my Library - that I don't have - too bad I get rid of my books after I read them - this sounds like a new project for me, which of course would require an addition on the house, gorgeous built-in shelves, red leather chairs with ottomans, a fireplace, braided rugs, and maybe even a small dog - maybe next year??
Oh I am so glad that you shared this. I agree it would be cool to do but just think, you can do it...just use the small old books and make a small tabletop version. I am going to do it next year and just saved this to my pinterest! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I just posted my tutorial on my MC ornament balls. I will show you my MC tree tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling idea! Who has this many books and that much room? LOL
ReplyDeletePatti,
ReplyDeleteyour library sounds just like mine! Well, the one I want, LOL! Very cute idea!
Will work on it for next year!

And be sure to add in an extra red leather chair and ottoman so your knitter friend can come see you (and I will need a side table to set my chart keeper on). That book tree is something even I could get into! Have a great weekend, Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI would be hitting up some Goodwill stores and garage sales and make one!
ReplyDeleteI just saw a similar tree in our library. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a small world we live in....I was looking on the internet to see if I could find the tree with ribbons the had at the Rochester eastview store and I stumbled across your blog. Very funny and my daughter pointed this book tree out to me when we were shopping. I have to thank you for bringing it back to my thoughts of how cute it was. I got busy thinking of buying gifts to realize that it IS adorable. I think the side table version would be perfect. Thanks again. Suzanne

ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful, I think I can do a Christmas this year, I hope the kids like！Like quickly ah, do not hesitate the most fun game on [url=http://www.diablo4shop.com/]Diablo 3 Gold[/url]Diablo 3 Gold！！！
ReplyDeleteSplendid in it's raw simplicity! It could be made with a hollow center to use less books, yes?
ReplyDeleteOh, that would be so great to have a "library" at home with comfy chairs and a clever tree of books. Anthropologie has the most fun displays!
