project::office backward books

yesterday i posted about the antique show that my mom and i visited last week,

 and how i gained so much inspiration from this display.

today i am going to show you how one display further helped me decorate the shelves

in hubby's office transformation.  

here i showed you how i initially chose to decorate them,

but the following display motivated me to try something a little reversed...

{i apologize for the glare and bad photos...they were taken with my phone}

i instantly fell in love with those backward books.

it's much more eye-catching than just the usual spine.

and of course i came home and tried it.

turning around a handful of books doesn't make the same impact,

but it does give the shelves more visual interest.

just won't be real helpful when i'm looking for a specific read...
