Those serving spoons are beautiful, but not for $240.

Utterly jealous of the bookshelf in the den, I've been hunting for something similar for years. Beautiful space, well done. Thanks for sharing, good luck keeping your integrated styles going strong!

I think the dresser looks great as-is, it's a nice contrast. However it doesn't live in my house, so make it what you want. I don't have any advice on the specific bleaching agent, other than to go slowly, you might want less than you think. Easier to put on another layer than take one off. Good luck!

Daniel over at Manhattan Nest did this cornstarch thing with some glass doors using white fabric. It's lovely, cheap and simple. I've wanted to use it ever since.

Frankly, as a bibliophile, I find this idea to be rank heresy. I suppose as a designer I could see it working in certain spaces. I've seen the brown paper approach before, and while it can look appealing, few people have the patience to write all that down! Especially someone with as many titles as I have. I have my books arranged by subject matter, which works well for me and my ever-growing collection. I'll leave the arranging to someone who has the time.
