A while ago I saw some photos of bookshelves organised by colour into the spectrum (see here). I love rainbows (as I am sure I've told you enough times!!) & after some thought I decided to organise my bookshelves in a more eye pleasing way. I sorted my books into topic sections first & then order each section into ROY G BIV. I thought this would make it easier to find books within sections than if I purely organised by colour.
Some sections were more obviously rainbow.....
...than others but I like the randomness of it- it's very subtle!
In the red corner I have the Matryoshka dolls that Lee gave me to commemorate Annie-Joy's birth (there are 4 babies inside!)....
....and in the greeny blue children's novel corner is a tiny mallard duck that I love!
Having lived in this house for 2 years now I thought it was about time I showed you what it looks like inside! This is the living room area which is supposed to stay toy free but rarely does! I love our little tiny windows. They are like portholes on a ship only square!
We use the sofa to divide the large living area up into two sections. Behind AJ you can see the play area jam packed with toys & games. It is the only area in the house (except for Jordan's bookcase in his bedroom) where we keep toys though. we all love our 'new' hand me down sofa bed. It's great for snuggling up a family of six to watch films on Family Fun Nights & the like! AND it has 'secret' storage for blankets! Yippeeeee! Well, I must go & sleep now. I am coming down with a cold & it's my birthday tomorrow! Hope all who read are well. TTFN!

Happy birthday meole darling!
What a lovely posh home! So organised with just a hint of hidden rascals ready to rearrange everything!
I hope your cold clears up very soon - if it doesn't go quickly try today's word verification - it says unworap. It's worth a try.
May everyone make a big fuss of you this evening!
