This is how the vasselier
looked before
I decided to flip the books
around so that
the pages show instead of
the spine of the book.
Here is the after…. thought
I would switch things
up and try something different.
My assistant…..he simply
insisted that
he be
in the picture and
would not move no matter
how many times
I asked him to!
So there you have it….
I’m not sure how long I will
leave it that way but
it’s nice to change things
up every
once in a while!

A little change can make such a big difference Des. I love this look! This room is stunning!!
I have never heard the word vasselier before and looked it up. I just learned something. It looks great as dose what I saw of your room.
I like them flipped. Very old world. Following your new Linky.
I love how that looks! Actually, I did that with some of my books too in the family room. I like the look of the old pages. I'd like to get more old books so I could have a huge pile in my glass cabinet. The messier looking the better! Ha! Don't you just love a quick change like that (also free)? I think you should leave them like that.
I have flipped my books, too. Some people think it's crazy, but I love it....the neutralness is so calming. Nice look! Linda
Your area looks really nice. Your little assistant is adorable. I am your newest follower!
Beautifully done. Love the way the books are piled in there. They say come grab one and take a look.
I am featuring your dining table tonight on Wow.
This room is so lovely! Very elegant.
It adds to your neutral palette. I must be able to see and grab my books I fear. hugs, olive
You need to have another photo shoot at your house...your home is always magazine worthy! I love the idea of "flipping" books.

Your room is gorgeous and that is such a fun idea. Love the look. Hugs, Marty
That's such a great piece of furniture to display your treasures! I've seen books turned that way and it's nice for a change! ♥ I love that row of bottles! ♥
Beautiful room! Great idea, and so agree its important to switch things up. Love your assistant, hes quite the charmer!
So glad you stopped by so I could find you! Love every single thing in your vasselier! The books, the silver, that giant shell... especially your little assistant!

Love it! Your room is simply gorgeous and I am loving the paint color on your walls.
The chairs, the sisal, the collections in your hutch --- awesome!
My dogs and cats are the same way.
One of them always shows up as the flashes are going off and they come out to see what mom is doing!
Too funny. Love your sweet little furry love!

Beautiful room, Des! I would never think to turn books around! Your assistant has some serious cuteness going on!
That's a new idea...I never would have thought to flip the books!

Now that's flippin cute Des! I love that look.
Your home is beautiful! I love the way you arranged the books. It's hard to get a good assistant nowadays! : )
Love the look of the books and your vaisselier is gorgeous. I'm following you now but I still have to figure this linky thing out!
Marianne :)
I love this look, especially that they seem to be "stashed" randomly. that piece of furniture is just amazing!
I keep seeing the flipped books here and there, and I really like the look, but the anal part of me thinks I'd have to turn them right back around the way their "suppose" to be. I never follow the rules, so how come this one seems like it would be hard not too?

I think it is so much fun to make small changes that make a big difference.

Love all the changes, the bathroom, the mirror, but the dining room table is beyond gorgeous. Can we swap husbands for a while???????
It looks great! Your assistant is too cute!
