My coffee table books

The books in my coffee table are not your normal “aesthetic” books that you would leave out for everyone to see. Instead I have books informational farm books about farming, gardening, and housekeeping (plus my current favorite western fiction 😅). If I am bored I can pick up a book from my coffee table and learn something. I LOVE books. We have a shelf full of them, but I do try to be intentional about keeping things that are useful and serve me. Not the other way around. I am by no means a minimalist, but if something doesn’t help make my life better or easier it needs to go away or be put someplace out of the way.

What is something that you have or do that might seem silly to other people, but helps make your life better?

Lots of love,

Brook 💕

Coffee table books often serve as decorative pieces, but they can also be profound sources of knowledge and inspiration. Instead of selecting conventional art or fashion books, consider incorporating titles that educate and engage your interests. For example, books like 'The Complete Guide to Horsemanship' showcase equestrian skills and culture while providing valuable insights into horse care and training techniques. Additionally, books on farming and gardening offer practical tips for sustainable living, enhancing your connection with nature. Choosing books that resonate with your lifestyle can transform your coffee table into a personal library that sparks conversation and curiosity. Explore selections that reflect your passions, whether they involve environmental awareness, creative pursuits, or historical stories. Incorporating a mix of genres not only enriches your reading experience but also invites guests to share in your interests and learn alongside you. Remember, it's about curating a collection that serves you and your space, allowing you to enjoy the pleasures of reading while decorating your home.
