Fascinating back-and-forth between the haters and the defenders here! I agree with some of these pet peeves, but I lean more towards the defenders' side. Do what you like in your own home.

I don't know if anyone is still following this, but there a couple pet peeves I don't understand. These are real questions:
- Why so much hate for Keep Calm and Carry On? Is it just because it's suddenly everywhere? I like it for its connection to history.
- What is wrong with lots of family or personal photos displayed? Isn't your home kind of supposed to be a "shrine to your family"? I really don't get it.

I get why people are anti-color coding your books, but I like it for 2 reasons no has mentioned:
- It makes me much more likely to actually put books back on the shelf in some organized way after reading them. It's much easier to quickly figure out what color it goes with than where it fits in the alphabet, Dewey Decimal system, or whatever. Otherwise I end up with piles of books around the house, which is apparently also a problem!
-It reminds me of getting a new 64 count box of crayons at the beginning of the school year and organizing it by color - their perfect unused tips, the waxy smell, order and promise and newness and anything can happen.
