Baroque Bookshelves

If you love certain books as much as we do — we have a collection of 1970's Jaws paperbacks, just because — here's a way to finally show them off. These baroque-style bookshelves can showcase a few well-loved or current bedside reads and you can change them out as you finish reading them, or match the colors of the spines to your decor...

Spotted in the current issue of Living Etc, these metal Baroque Bookshelves are quirky and modern. And you don't actually have to put books in them, we can think of a million fun uses. You can show off interesting objects (we envision a bathroom still life with a tube of toothpaste and cup with toothbrushes — or even a place to store the loaf of Wonder bread in the kitchen). They're about the depth of a standard paperback book.

>>> Available at Graham and Greene

i'm thinking MDF and a scroll saw and some black paint. . .

Very cool. I wonder how much it costs to ship from England to the US...

They remind me of something from Brocade.

Question: What's the difference between "change them" and "change them out". Does "change them" imply that you simply changed something about them, but they're still there, while "change them out" implies that you actually replaced them?

These make me smile. But yes, I won't be buying one.

I love Graham & Greene but shipping costs more than most of the items they sell. I tried to buy a set of little chandalier crystal christmas lights there over the holidays and they quoted shipping to Chicago at 51.20 british pounds for a 31.96 british pound item. (christmas lights weigh almost nothing too) That's $75 to ship something that is $47. Who can afford that? Isn't there an economy shipping option?

Very pricey. Anything similar on this continent?

I love these! I can see a DIY project, using a neat picture frame attached to some kind of wooden box. Too cute!
