Reader’s Choice
When I designed The Coop’s library wall, I knew I wanted something simple, strong and utilitarian – like the shelving from a century-old general store – and something large enough to house our ever-growing book collection.
Built floor to ceiling, the height of the shelves are spaced far enough apart to accommodate large-scale tomes, and the addition of a vintage ladder makes accessing the upper shelves a cinch. The placement of two, deep, wingback chairs and a just-big-enough table, creates a cozy retreat for settling in with a cup of tea and good book.

Happy decorating!
Love, Nora
Everything you do is magic!
adore this space…
It’s beautiful! Wou don’t see a whole lot of bookshelves in decorating anymore.
we have an antique one with glass doors that houses my husbands antique collection of books
and bibles and hymn books. I love it and can’t part with it. I also love, love, LOVE the trunks
at the foot of your bed…how wonderful are those??!!!
I love visiting here. I am always inspired when I come here.
Thank you for sharing!
