Arched Book Storage

This is not for me, but I could see it in a small space in a book collector's abode.

Gasp!! My first thought was not printable. Looks like those arch blocks at the children's museum which seem to be beyond us.

I like this - thanks for posting. I like a decor surprise in each room -- doesn't have to be big but something you may not expect. Nice touch.

Unique and different idea. But, what if one of the bookends gives way?

@lolakimono Nor would I do that. I'd rather not own books I can't pick up to read without first getting the ladder.

Too cute. To me good design has a purpose and a place and this has neither.

I love it! I never would have thought of doing that. I love a touch of unexpected whimsy in rooms.

@Winkk Being funny here, LOL I bet they all fall down! I agree it is unique and different, don't think it's for me though.

So, if you want a book you need a ladder?

No, I don't care for this look at all. I have many, many books in my home but I would never display them like that.

I agree great for book collector. That door is fabulous though! (Without the books)

@lolakimono Horrible and destroys the lovely look of the French doors. Someone must have been drunk when they thought of this!

I like this! I would love for the arch to continue on down to the floor on both sides.

My worst nightmare (if I lived here) is if someone would want me to loan them one of these books. I have already broken three bones in my life!

Agree... Says 'contrived' to me... Great door, though the books distract from it...

Love the doors.

It is a cute idea for a Library or Kids room over an arched window.

You would have to secure the books to the wall.....if not someone could get clobbered in the head (like in Home Alone).

Not good if you live near a fault line......

Very imaginative! It would have to be books I don't read often or maybe collector/ sentimental books/albums because of the need for a ladder to access. But I like it a lot!
