I have a metal and wicker tea cart that has been
waiting for me to create some sort of
interesting display since I moved the large plant
that usually sits there,
outside for the summer.
I have several pretty pots of violets
to put on it,
but kept thinking I needed to find
some sort of risers to get some different heights.
Before Buttermilk Cottage I had lots of
bookcases, overflowing with books.
Sadly, that's not the case here.
My library has been edited to only
those books I cannot bear to part with,
even though they have been read,
often several times.
Those books are stashed in a basket
on top of a wardrobe.
I have decided to put them to work!
Since space is a factor,
I have started using as much white as possible
for decor accessories.
It seems to add less "chatter."

Why not make some white paper covers for my books?
In just a couple of minutes
I had a whole stack of
white books.
Perfect for displaying the violets
on my tea cart!
This creates a much more interesting display
than just placing the violets all on one level!
And, I love the idea of using what I already have.

I was the same way. I had bookcases with books, but I decided I needed the space and gave away all but the ones I just could not. I have them all over the house stack too. I love what you did with yours. Beautiful idea.
The books look great! I recently helped clean out my dear MIL and FIL's home to prepare it for selling and brought home a set of books. They'd be nice with covers on them as they are all the same size. I'll need to get busy.♥♫
Your tea cart is adorable and I love the white covers on your books. Great idea.

What a cute cart and display :)
I love to decorate with stacks of books too, and magazines I seem to have a forever growing collection of home magazines!
what a great way to use those much loved books! I have stacks all over the house as decorative items.
This makes a pretty stack on your tea cart. Love your blue and white ceramics!
It's a nice vignette -- and of course, I adore blue and white!
Great use of books! I have lots stacked around my house too! Thanks for partying with us at Give Me The Goods Monday!

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
