17 Creative Home Decor Inspos Bookworms  Will Go Crazy for ...

I love books. Reading is my favorite thing. It's an escape. Books are magical. They let you experience worlds and cultures and adventures you never even imagined. As much as I hate sacrificing books, even when they're old and dog-eared, I love them so much that I adore decorating with them, too. Being surrounded by books, by words and sentences and prose … it makes me feel peaceful, protected, and at ease. Maybe these projects will make you feel the same way.

I found it very appalling to tear up a book for decor. My apologies I don't mean malice but the first feeling was, 'why tear off the book'.

Marvelous!

I love them but I would never do that to a book I just love they so much

Wow nice..

Why would you ever break a book!

Haha I agree with everyone! A book lover would never tear a book!

I wouldn't be able 2 bring myself 2 tear a book. Rather create a lil library.
