You need to be rejecting minimalism

Mentally I want to be here.

it's another weekend, pick up a book📚

Un lieu pour lire...

“Books turn walls into stories.” -Ray Bradbury-

a room this bright doesn't let you stay in a bad mood 😭

“I guess there are never enough books.” -John Steinbeck-

Lmao. Accurate!!!

Books that shaped Western civilization: — The Iliad — The Odyssey — The Republic — The Aeneid — Confessions — The Divine Comedy How many have you read?

Bibliotecas maravillosas. 📚

Niche de lecture cosy en bleu marine, avec banquette d'angle sous fenêtre, coussins, bibliothèque intégrée éclairée et tapis à motifs. Ambiance élégante, chaleureuse et idéale pour se détendre avec un livre.

This front yard tree adds so much to this house. Really nice color combo with the dark green and red trim. Craftsman wrap around. Very 👍🏻

It is more beneficial for children to read the classics aimed at their season of life than to rush them into reading Homer or Plato. Do not rush children into the "great books."

Three reasons a home library is vital to western civilization: 1. Internet censorship 2. Changeable and vanishing eBooks 3. Artificial intelligence If hundreds of homes preserved the good books in print, we would not have to worry about losing our documented history.

I came across this 50 year old house, Honestly ... the only thing I'd change? I'd call in Mike Brady. Not to renovate. Not to modernize. Just to walk through with that calm voice and thoughtful nod, hands on hips, saying, "This place has good bones." Maybe he'd adjust a beam or two, admire the craftsmanship, and leave every last bit of that groovy charm exactly as it is. Because some homes aren't meant to be updated-they're meant to be remembered. 💛

Books, plants, and soft shadows — the perfect kind of luxury

Soft lighting creates comfort without needing luxury.

Warm lights and books create the perfect escape.
