    Hot In The Hive: Umbra Biblioteca Bookshelf

    Sometimes, you never know when a serious case of design inspiration will hit you. Umbra Design Director Matt Carr is a great example of finding inspiration in an unlikely way. He found two vintage coffee tables, sawed them in half and stacked them on top of each other to make a bookshelf for his home. Luckily for us, we don't have to break out the band saw and carve through grandma's antique furniture to get the same look. (Well, you technically could, but the thought of possibly losing a limb is too terrifying). The Biblioteca Bookshelf reminds me a bit of something Salvador Dali would like. Though it is whimsical, it definitely has its uses. Now all your fashion books, guilty pleasure novels, and other knickknacks can all live in one place!


    Price: $520
    Who Found It: facadeindreams was first to add the Umbra Biblioteca Bookshelf to the Hive.

    I love being invited to other people's home not only for their amazing company, but to also get different home decor inspiration. I would have never thought of pairing a zebra print rug with leopard print pillows on a solid couch! Of course in these visits, one always has to use the restroom and it's in the bathroom where you really get a sense of your hosts. Are they neat and tidy with everything in it's place? Or are the towels all mixed up and beauty items all over the counter? My latest home decor organization obsession is with toothbrush holders. So some people use an old mug or the grimy metal one that came built-in with the bathroom. If that sounds like you, then I've got a ton of unique toothbrush holders you'd be proud to show off. From the quirky stag toothbrush holder from PerpetualKid.com to a chic coral reef inspired one, who knew you could have a conversation showpiece right in your bathroom? Take a look at my slideshow for more unique toothbrush holders!

    If you're a voracious reader like yours truly, your house is probably equally overrun with mad piles of magazines and books. Though I like that "library" look of walls of books, I still want our home to have an uncluttered modern look. So, what's a book lover to do? Hunt out cool shelving units that will display your books in new and interesting ways...like these attention-grabbing floating shelves from Umbra or the fabulous vertical shelf from West Elm! Another tip? Group books by the color on their spine - the blocks of color will add a great pop to any room! Check out my SLIDESHOW for more unique shelving ideas.
