I'm liking things piled un-neatly into shelves lately. There's a sort of casual look about it that I'm liking; something refreshing –rather than stored neatly. Hard to explain, but here's a few pictures of what I mean. Above a loft in Florence where architect, Alessandro Capellaro used vintage found boxes to create this modular bookcase which is filled with different sizes of reclaimed wood from

Or this display of books at the newly revamped Club Monaco on Bloor Street in Toronto. Love that they are displayed not showing the spines as one usually sees books, and then piled as they are. One could easily replicate this at home. Stylist and magazine editor
Margot Austin spotted it on a recent visit and shared it on her
blog. Also from Club Monaco (in the two images below) the stored firewood in this entrance way (or vestibule as she called it - don't you love that word), and more books in the fireplace. See more photo's at Margot's blog
here.
Love these newspapers folded un-neatly in this rack. From the beautiful Swedish blog of
Elina Dahl.
I know we've seen something similar piles with magazines (either wrapped in bundles and then piled or with belts) - but I'm liking the books best. Such an easy thing to do and the look appeals to my aesthetic right now! Do you like it? Yay or nay?
