Whew!!!! That’s all I can say at this moment! You might have noticed that I’ve been absent here on the blog for the last few days and you might have wondered what I’ve been up to. I wish I could say I was off enjoying the beach or taking a fun trip but that’s not the case. The fact is that I’ve got a lot of projects on my to-do list and they have kept me so busy that I haven’t found the time, energy or creative mindset to blog.
One of the projects I’ve been working on is a big event for a non-profit agency I work with. I am on the board of directors for the Community Assistance Center and I’m chair for their big fund-raising gala which is next weekend. All the planning and making the centerpieces for the table décor have me knee-deep in auction items, paperwork and paper crafting.
I’ve also been super busy working on the finishing touches of a e-design project which I’ll share with you soon, trying to add a little fall flavor to my home and finishing up a piece for my desk (I know I promised to show it to you last week). All in all, things are a tad busy in my life at the moment.
So now that you know I’m still alive and kicking, I did want to drop in today and share one of my favorite product lines with you.
We’ve all seen them…
those images of bookcases where all the books have been meticulously covered in beautiful paper or fabric.
And if you are anything like me, you’ve thought to yourself, I’ll do that with my own books and then my bookcases will look like all those other beautifully styled bookcases on Pinterest.

But one day you take a hard look at your bookcases and the hundreds of books that are staring at you just waiting to be covered and you think to yourself, there has to be an easier way to make my bookcases look pretty.
We’ll folks I’m here to share a great source for INSTANT BOOKCASE STYLE with you, E. Lawrence Books!
Several years ago, when my store was open, I sold E. Lawrence books but I had forgotten just how amazing they are until a trip to the mart last week. E. Lawrence has always had a great selection of leather-bound, classic covered books perfect for a library or more formal setting, but over the years they’ve added lots of stylish covered books to the mix. Their book collections are really dynamic and are a great way to add a strong design statement to your bookcases in a flash.
The Eifel Tower set is one of my favorites. Because the books stack vertically, they are great on shelves with large openings or on the tops of bookcases or armoires.
The paper zebra covers are just amazing and so chic!
They have lots of different floral covers which can add a bohemian feel to your shelves.
The ikat and flame stitch patterns are also some of my faves. Reminds me of something you’d see in Anthropologie.
The lighthouse covers would be great in a men’s study or young boys room.
Another fun floral inspired collection.
If you like a little color pop on your bookshelves, these covers with script labels would do the trick.
Abstract prints.
I adore this purse stack.
Classic with a modern edge.
And the looks go on and on!
While I’m always up for a DIY book cover project, but with so many beautiful books from E. Lawrence I’ll be saving my crafting skills for something else.
To see more of the book collections from E. Lawrence head here.
For those of you in Atlanta, the full E. Lawrence collection can be seen in the J. Douglas showroom at the mart, Blog. 1, 13-a-1 and E. Lawrence has a booth at the Scott Antique Market each month in the North Bldg.
