I have to admit.. I panicked. Just a little bit but I still panicked. I always take the dust jackets off when I read the book but I always put them back on. They will look much tidier with them off. I wonder what color of books we have… off to look!
What a great idea! I have a whole wall of bookshelves that I’m not quite sure what to do- how to style them. I should for sure start with removing the dust jacket. What do you recommend for paperback book? I have about 20 that I just LOVE and want to keep.
Awe! Thanks Marilyn. I’m a little sad because most of our stuff in going into long term storage including my bookcase but we are making a huge move to Japan in just two more weeks. EEK!!
Cool challenge idea. I love that you do a little each day so it does not feel overwhelming. You bookshelves look pretty.
Thanks Tracie!! That’s what I was hoping for, a little every day. 😉
I definitely do not love my space right now, but as the kids get older, we are getting rid of some of their clutter. Slowly!
I love it when my kids grow out of things so I can purge. Good luck! 😉

That’s funny. I stored our dust jackets but it’s been about 7 years since I took them off. I don’t think they are going back on. Have fun!!
I need to get rid of clutter and update my space for sure. This is such a neat challenge.
Thanks Pam!
This sounds wonderful. I just spent the entire day in my son’s room cleaning and organizing.I feel awesome about it.
Now that’s a job!! I hope you have a relaxing evening. 😉
I love this idea and think it looks great when books are arranged by color, but I have way too many books to even attempt it!
lol, that’s awesome! Maybe just a few pretty books on the coffee table then! 😉
Great challenge. Challenges are a great way to stay on top of things! I am always joining them and encouraging others to join too.
Thanks! I agree. Happy New Year!

I mix in paperback books with my color groupings. If you have some that don’t look so appealing, you can put them in a basket, bin, or a box. 😉
I like the idea of spending a few minutes each day to make the space we occupy better and more appealing.
Thanks Janeane. I’m always doing something to make our home more practical but aesthetically pleasing.
That is a neat idea. This is a great challenge.
Thanks Debbie! Happy New Year!
This is a great idea for a challenge! Will you be doing this again because I’d love to join in. I love the idea with the books!!
Your bookcase looks absolutely stunning!
