What a great place to have a layover! The soft colors of Rome are one of the things I remember most about my first encounter, especially the well-aged yellows, oranges and pinks of buildings that were often overlaid with hanging vines and flowers from windowboxes. It's such a priviledge to be able to spend time in a city without a sightseeing agenda. Thanks, and wlecome back. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Look! Our Layover in Rome |

Many thanks, Sarah, and all who commented. I can appreciate your mom's dilemma, since I also have too many books. I've pared down 3 times but can't seem to get below 1,500 in MANY different categories, so I have to label them. I also reference a lot of them in my work, plus I just love books. I love how warm they make a room feel, how colorful and diverse they are, and how they reveal a person's journey. I love the way they smell, age and feel in my hands -- not to mention the wisdom they contain. I'm inspired now to reorganize my books. I especially like the clip-on moveable variety and I love the carrmclean site. Apartment Therapy Chicago | 8 Ways to Label Your Bookshelves |

I love the idea of creating a "window" where none exists, especially the backdrop in the first photo. It gives me all kind of ideas for things that would not be expensive to do but would create a great focal point. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Inspiration: Window Displays from Pierre Frey |

The reflection of the water inside is beautiful! Water is so calming, but the only way I know how to bring it into inside decor is with a fountain, which is sometime less than calming, it can be a noisy distraction. Apartment Therapy Chicago | A Modern CourtyardDwell on Fine Living |

Great post. I'd like to know more about how to decorate a room like the one in the last photo -- one that's long and narrow and has multiple low windows. Any ideas? Apartment Therapy Chicago | A Modern Minnesota HomeCookie Nesting Blog 04.2008 |

The two Knoll's Krefeld lounge chairs and ottomans look very comfortable, as do the chairs by the fireplace, but I agree that some of others do not look like chairs you could curl up in to read a book. I like a sofa for stretching out but no matter how long a sofa is, it's usually occupied by only two people when guests are there, so it ends up offering no more seating that two chairs offer.

These are amazing pieces! I just bought a mid century dining set off Craig's List for $300 and wonder now if I spent too much. Great find! Apartment Therapy Chicago | Jubilee Furniture: Vintage Finds at Thrift Store Prices |

My husband's mother was a political junkie and had vinatge pins on a long narrow piece of fabric that hung on her wall in a narrow space. It made a great conversation piece. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Displaying Political Pins: What's Your Vote? |

I'm not much of a pool person, but "Day Pool" makes me want to dive in. The piece from the Ann Nathan Gallery is beautiful. We'll Be Havin' Fun All Summer Long |
