I recently read that one of the latest amenities in the hot New York City real estate market is to provide buildings with common libraries. Many of the exclusive buildings offering this kind of convenience to their future buyers have in their shelves only Architecture and Design related books and usually from luxury Publishing houses as Assouline. I can understand why this would be a catch for buyers especially those looking for a luxury lifestyle living. A library feels old school and cozy and there’s always a welcoming feeling. I don’t think there is anything else other than a library, or simple bookcases with books, that can make a house instantly feel a home. Enjoy!
Haynes-Roberts Inc. OMG! the floor, the floor, checkered marble floors. Am I about to faint here?
Isabel Lopez Quesada. How not to love a woman with this incredible amount of style. I mean, really? This library is full of soul and character. Probably Isabel is just like that.
This room has pretty much everything I go for, a gallery wall, bookcases filled with books, all organized by subject, from what I can see. Source Unknown

Oscar and Annette de la Renta’s home. What can we say about Oscar’s style that hasn’t already been said? It’s classic and elegant to its core.
This library, with its black walls and lacquered bookcases, is small in space but huge in style.
I love this room because it’s all about comfortably chic. Notice the steel trunk behind the sofa.

I can not imagine a home without a library or bookcase in it. It's part of the meaning of home. I love your words about Isabel Lopez Quesada. That room is beautiful! xo
