Booky Bonanza: Stylish cool bookcases

Mikardo bookshelf by Compangnie, Life Style Bazaar

During a relatively chilled weekend & I caught an episode of 'Castle' which is quite rare as I don't tend to follow this show and usually TV is my background noise whenever the boring house duties are carried out. Anyhow, I was struck by the Amnesia struck victim in 'Castle' whose apartment just rocked. Refer to 'Castle' 2, episode 11. Anyhow this guys apartment had one very hip diagonal bookcase very similar to the one below by Moletamunro but with equal spacing. I love this bookcase which is also seen as a cool, modern free standing solution for storing just about everything else too. Available in an oak veneer finish and also other stains. Me like a lot!
Since the obsession with diagonal bookcases and storage, i've scoured the net for more stylish booky solutions, enjoy! All the website below are seriously amazing, you'll want to buy everything up, all the pieces are so drool worthy!

Back to basics: Rustic wood

My dearest friend and her significant other half have upgraded and bought a bigger, better house (not flat) with huge garden in the 'burbs'. Why the move? Well they're getting hitched this year and the next most natural move or should I say process is that of the small pitter patter of feet. But... actually they just simply want a bigger home and get out of the big smoke. Filling the new home is going be exciting, so I can't wait to see what they're doing with all that space. One of the things on their list of must-have is a rustic dining set made from reclaimed wood by eat.sleep.live. It's gorgeous definitely makes for a cosy, classic & timeless statement piece! There are few more dreamy images I came across for a more contemporary rustic mood.
