My Dream Room
October 20, 2010
This photo of Nigella Lawson in her private library in London made me deep green with envy. I have my dear friend Jenna to thank for sending it my way. Can you even imagine owning that many beautiful books? I’ve already saved the image in my “dream home” file. Someday ladies, someday!

Swoon! I have to feature this photo on my own blog! I remember an interview with Nigella from years ago, in O magazine, in which she lists her favorite books. She came across as fiercely intelligent and extremely well-read, and her book choices were so interesting. I would love to sit down and have a drink with her….and Emma Thompson (another intelligent, well-read lady).

And I’m sure she’s hiding some fabulous step ladder to reach all the way to the tippy top-lucky girl!

OMG! This is every dream come true! quintessence didn’t that scene in Beauty and the Beast make you want to cry?! Must make that room a reality someday…as well as that castle in Scotland on the north sea :)
-
so funny…came across this image recently when going through my old magazine tear-outs. love it!
-
fabulous, but I have to let you know that she is selling her London home, apparently she and her husband are tired of the upstairs/next (not sure) neighbors who are doing some kind of building repairs, the house is on sale for 36 million pounds ($54m) better be fabulous like that library!!! :)
-
I love a library and this picture makes me want to spend a day surrounded by books!

The home library swoon-worthy as is Nigella…it brings me back to your girl~crush post…I LOVE her. She is beautiful (it appears inside as well as out) and I adore watching her cook and listening to her melodic voice!

i need a library just like that! just imagine the shelves overflowing with classics. plus, having a neo-trad book club meeting every week in there! how lovely would that be?! besides that, just having a library avaliable to you 24/7 is a dream come true

I could tell that profile was Nigella – speaking of Girl Crush, I could watch her eat all day! She makes whatever she cooks look like the tastiest thing ever. I blame my booty on her chocolate mousse. Totally worth it.
-
it is no secret that i have a serious thing for libraries… i blame it on beauty & the beast and atonement. haha :)
-
All the more reason to adore this divine creature. Beauty, brains, a lusty appreciation for food, and books for days, if not months, years, and decades!

This photo is AMAZING! How cool is that room? I would never leave!
p.s. I have seen Mr. Armour all over Pinterest, (from wedding shoot)! xo -
I am in complete agreement — Nigella’s library is my dream room too. All of those books and the piles on the floor too? It’s gorgeous.
-
So many reasons to be envious of Nigella….but I just can’t.
She is fabulous and even more so is her library. I am aching for wall to wall bookshelves. Oy.

This is my kind of photo. I am surrounded by books but the room is way less glamorous. Lucky Nigella. Carla

Well. Let me just wipe the drool from my mouth and say that this photo is amazing. Book heaven, I think. Plus, it makes me feel slightly less inclined to worry of my own bookish clutter…
OMG – ABsolutely adore this!!! I’ve never seen this photo. Looks like something right out of Beauty and the Beast! Can’t even imagine!
