Baroque Dreams

Baroque Dreams — an ornate library for your bookshelf

Baroque Dreams is a wooden DIY book nook kit shaped like a richly decorated book, with a two-level miniature library inside. Gold-toned arches, printed artwork and shelves of tiny books create a room inspired by grand European interiors. The patterned outer cover gives the finished piece character both between your books and when displayed with its side in view.

A library built in layers

Look through the front arch to discover a reading chair, an open book and a small violin among the shelves. Higher up, more books and framed images bring detail to the upper level. An ornate miniature fireplace adds another focal point, while patterns on the floor and trim connect the different parts of the room. The repeated arches and little stacks of books lead your eye from the reading corner to the artwork above.

Let the library take shape over several evenings

Begin with the structure, then take your time arranging the books and smaller furnishings. Working in stages lets you appreciate how the arches, shelves and interior details fit together. As the room fills out, the project changes from a set of parts into a library that carries the memory of your own careful work.

A small room with a grand presence

Switch on the warm lighting to see the layers inside the library more clearly. Its book-shaped form makes it a natural companion for novels, art books or a collection of miniature interiors. For a reader who enjoys decorative architecture, or a maker drawn to elaborate rooms, this library book nook combines a hands-on project with a finished display worth returning to for another look.
