When should you buy a Book for its Cover?

This is a Guest post from one of my favourite, outrageous bloggers, Awesome Sara!  She is my first guest blogger and I have also mentioned her in a previous post where you probably thought, what the heck is this?  Enjoy;

Let Me introduce myself. I'm Sara from Sara Says Awesome. When the great Maria (that's the name of the person that made this blog idiot) asked me to do a guest post I was so freaking thrilled!!! Like Julie Andrews spinning on a mountain top kind of excited!! Then when that was over. All I thought was holy f**K. This Maria is like a freaking expert and I'm just a really good looking amature. Yea, I'm serious I really am really good looking. I was like what the hell am I suppose to right about???

Then I remembered Maria thinks I'm the kitty's pajamas and everything I do is awesome. So that was it. One day it just came and I wanted to do everything in color. Because Maria=color (and awesome and sexy and way cool) I wanted to keep the same vibe as her blog but add my psychotic-ness to it. That's my preface. Let's get to it, yea! I hope you enjoy it.

So, maybe I'm a little late here has everyone noticed that everyone has been color coding their bookshelves???

By the way, it's called color blocking.

By putting the same color next to one another it makes it easier on the eye to compute what it is looking at.

That means, your over processed eyes will cause you less headaches.

Less chaotic=peace.

The only thing really that I can't stand is I can never find what I am looking for. Ever.

But it sure does look so peaceful. Like staring at a rainbow.

Does this mean I have to start buying books bc of the spine color? Oh no I don't have enough red spines, must buy red spines!!

Go ahead. Take all your books of your shelves and start color coding. You'll thank me later.

Note from Maria:  Because coffee table books are important elements to include when styling coffee tables, I am always buying them for my clients; but they have to be the right colour to work with the decor!!  Also if you do have a lot of colourful books, the images above are certainly an effective way to style a bookshelf.   So I loved this post, thanks Awesome Sara!!
