I've been looking through just about every past post of a few bookshelf blogs, and wanted to share one of my own past bookshelf projects.I think I set this shelf up this way in early 2005, after the entire San Francisco bookstore Adobe Books was rearranged in rainbow order by artist Chris Cobb (and a team of more than a dozen volunteers).
It took the better part of a morning to arrange these books like this, but we don't really get tired of it. It's pretty easy to find what we need, as often as we grab any title of this shelf. Especially my Ina Garten cookbooks, they all have different colored spines.

what a fantastic idea! i hope you don't mind if i borrow it... i've been needing a bigger bookshelf in the living room but it would mean taking down a very colorful, very large canvas of work our 6 year old did and moving it to another wall. for some reason, this particular wall demands fantasy colors. i now know how to keep the interest there and have the larger bookshelf we need, thanks to your post! love it!
I did that too with our books, I was suprised how much time it took but I'm so pleased with the result!
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog!!
