    I used to do coffee table books, but I started to like more of a decluttered look and got rid of them. No one really looked through them and I grew tired of dusting them.. But! I do love pretty cookbooks (that I use) in the kitchen and I have a few cool looking cocktail books on our bar cart. Books really are beautiful for decorating and layering!
