Thank you so much for stopping in and to all of you, my readers.....be sure to stop by Splendid Sass, a chock full of beauty blog that you will be happy to have found just like I was when I did many months ago. So here we go.....


I am so happy to be here with Tina, author of one of my very favorite blogs, as a guest while she continues putting the finishing touches on her new castle home.
My favorite room in the house is the library. It is such private, personal, and warm room, and I can just wrap myself in the cozy decor. ENJOY!

















Thank you, Tina, for inviting me to share with your readers.  I had so much fun visiting!

  2. Congrats to all winners, wish I was one but maybe next time! I was really hoping for that gorgeous rug!
    Love these libraries, really like the first one becuase its a light feeling room but still has the function of a library, I tend to prefer light and airy interiors over stuffy and dark ones, and that one is just about perfect.

  3. I would love to have a room dedicated to books like any of these! Congrats on that response to your fabulous giveaway too!! You rock!

  10. Tina thank you so much for "Very cute tribute to what seems like a great kid...love his name he is adorable! Happy birthday!". made me smile on a day filled with both good & bad.
    Yep you saw me upside down, I feel that way about half the time:)
    ~libraries~ are my fav. all time forever rooms. I love looking a kitchens, cooking nope (too many yrs under my belt)
    Libraries & bedrooms are a few more elixirs in my life. Think you can read in both & get all snugly(did last night with daughter before she heads to NYC for theatre & SHOPPING, ha. Annie & her BF are carrying on our family "tradition") ..........love those things! Adore you blog, one of the few I follow.

  12. I really love libraries too. We have plans for our own but they are in need of execution,easier said than done. They are just so calm and peaceful looking.

  13. Oh, how thrilling to see myself listed as a winner! Now that's a great way to start the day! Thanks Tina. And I love Teresa's bookish post. I'm and avid reader and believe you can't have too many books in a home. These are such beautiful spaces to keep them in!
    Happy Moving, Tina!

  14. Unbelievable libraries, one and all. Great post! I'm so glad Teresa was here - I love her blog, too
    Stayc

  15. So many beautiful libraries! I am going to file some of these away, because a built in bookshelf in our office is a plan for the future, and I am always looking for inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  16. What a perfect post - you girls rock!
    I have a music room that has been 'pinpointed' for probably "mmmmm" years to install library shelving and get all my beautiful books out of boxes... I LOVE this inspirational post - think I should put this on my Resolution List for 2012! (is it too late?)

  17. Congratulations to the winners! Love Teresa's post, we are both book fanatics, having a separate library would be a dream come true.

    Belated Happy Blog Birthday Tina, that is a bunch of posts, all of them delightful.

  20. Congrats to the lucky winners.

    I love the look and feel of libraries and wonder if they will still be around with the loss of so many book stores.

  21. What I love most about these is that there is not a predicatble red mahogany one in the bunch, a nice surprise. I love the lighter fresher feeling libraries and the one that doubles as a dining room is such an incredible room.
    Tina, thanks for always giving me something to ooh and aah over. You never disappoint! Give me room with a lot of books and I am one happy gal.

  22. Oh wow, you have such a lovely blog.
    Gorgeous images.

    Have a great day.

  23. Congrats to all of the winners! Teresa certainly delivered a beautiful post. I wish I had a library in my own home, but sadly, no room for one. Ah, it's good to dream! xo

  24. Hi Tina- happy for your winners but was so hoping to win that beautiful rug, haha.
    Love these libraries, we bought a new house that had a library and we just stipped the color, it was a very dark red which to me appeared very dated, against my husbands wishes, I painted it a dark sand/taupe color and we are BOTH in love with it. Its rich, masculine but still not too heavy. You cannot imagine how many compliments I get on this one room. It is my favorite room in my entire house and everynight after dinner I head in there (alone) with a cup of tea and a book and have one hour all to myself, its bliss.
    Love your blog so much. Thank you for always giving such amazing eye candy and happy to meet your guest blogger too.

  25. Finally moving in!!! Wooohooo! Congratulations!! Cannot wait to see updates. We just moved into our new build - forced our way past builders 2 weeks before my 3rd baby born. I was SO relieved to be in - have definitely been sharing your build pain! Congratulations again!!

  26. What a wonderful post and I'm so dreaming of a space of my own lined with books! Teresa has a great blog and one of my favorite reads.

  30. Have only been coming to your blog for about a month now after a colleague recommended me, but I am hooked. Your posts are so great, informative, interesting and beautiful. Love this, I got some great ideas even for my teeny tiny library in Chicago. Thanks and happy new year to you and good luck with your move! I cannot wait to see your house really come to life once you are living there, what fun that will be!

  40. Yes, Teresa delivers! OH MY, one library is more gorgeous than the other!

    My own dining room is a combined library and formal dining area. There is something sexy about books and candlelight.

    Very nicely put together Teresa! 5 stars.

    Hugs to you both!

  41. Hello Tina,

    I hope that the move is going well, I am sure that even though there is a little stress that the excitement and happiness of moving into your beautiful dream makes it worth it.

    I love your guest post! I will have to go over and check out this blog. Congratulations on the 1 year blog anniversary! So very exciting.

    Thank you for your get well comments the last few days, I think that I am like Anita at Castles, Crowns and Cottages, one step forward, and a few back. Of course it does not help that everyone here is under the weather.

    I am sure that I will be back to myself next week, I am just going to take it easy.

    Take care my friend, thinking about you and wishing you the best for the move. Stay warm and safe.

    Elizabeth

  42. Great post. I am now trying to think of ways to display books in my house, although the space is limited.

    Interestingly, a lot of the libraries have herringbone flooring. So does Tina's. It's just gorgeous, I love it!

  43. I love Teresa and this is a fabulous post. I'm saving half of the images...Wonderful library inspiration!
