I love Pinterest. It's a cool way to tag interesting photo finds on the web and organize them by subject on a 'board'.
Growing up I was always surrounded by books so they have a special place in my heart. I have a small home library and I get my kicks finding new creative ways to display books.
These are some of the pins on my Pinterest Home Library Board.
Since my home library has a limited amount of space I'm forced to donate books every once in awhile to make room on the shelves for new ones. As a lover of books I could never throw them away. As a creative and lover of books I've found some interesting ways of re-purposing books.
Here a few examples from my Recycled Books Board on Pinterest.

The bookshelves are so fun! They kind of make me think of Beauty and the Beast for some reason!
these are so cool
These are total eye-candy for a book lover, Letty. My favorite is the shelf with the colorful books and white sofa. Reminds me a little of a painter's studio. Thank you for sharing these. I'm going to check out Pinterest ; D
