Oh, Shelving, You're So Pretty

I don't quite understand why looking at pictures of bookshelves makes me happy, but it does.

This one looks like a speech bubble! I've also seen a similar shelf with the wood painted white, but I much prefer this one.

Your books will never fall over again. I like the simple yet elegant solution of this shelf. There's no need for bookends, yay.

It's retro. I'm fond of the shape of this shelf and think it would make a nice bedside table.

Triangles are cool. While I like the look of this bookcase, the odd-sized shelves would make actual book storage frustrating. But it'd be a good knick-knack display case.

Another solution to the books-falling-over problem. I like that these shelves are stackable. (Only stackable to a point, I'd guess, but I don't think seven of these things on top of each other would be visually appealing anyways.)

Incorporating hidden pictures into your bookcase. I like how this is a standard sort of bookcase until you look closer at walls (or posts maybe?) of the case.

If you're more of a city person. While I do like the structure of this bookcase, it's the color of it that I really love. It reminds me of a sunset when you're downtown and surrounded by skyscrapers.

(All bookcases/shelves found via Bookshelf obviously, which is a fantastic blog if you like books.)
