The overall vision to create it from the before state is amazing. Love the colors, the built-ins, the coffered ceiling. I feel like I could move right in rather than just "visit" which is so often the case with other beautiful rooms I see.

I have them separated from my books that are "to be read." Anyone can easily use this guideline you've presented to organize their bookshelf and regarding their books separate the "read" and "to be read" books. You want to be able to get to your "to be read" books easily but moving a trinket or two is not that big of a deal considering the bookshelf is so pleasing to the eye. I could see myself sitting in a comfy chair right next to that bookshelf! One question - where's the Pinterest button - I love this!!!

Anyone that actually wanted to use their bookshelves for books would would it difficult with this type of layout, with the majority of the books being on the top shelf and the rest being used to prop up trinkets and photos. Anyone that actually wanted to read one of the books would have to get a ladder first or deal with rearranged the display, which in my opinion discourages readership. Sorry to be the naysayer. While it is pleasing to the eye, something like this wouldn't work in our house full of readers.
