You could set up a P.O. Box for us to send you books! Then can go through what your fans send, picking out what books you like the most and donate the rest. It would allow your fans to be a part of your house in some way, us support you even more, you get a lot of brooks for no money, donate the books you may not be interested in keeping and or give some of them to family members that might enjoy certain books. It would be a win win for everyone
As a bookworm its so weird seeing someone buy books because they have lots of empty shelves... While I dont even know where to storage my books anymore cause I have so many books and only a few shelves 😂
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAME WITH ME!!!!!!! I HAVE BOOKS STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. BEHIND OTHER BOOKS,. BENEATH MY BOOKCASE. IN DRAWERS. AND INCLUDING THE LIVING ROOM AND STILL I DON'T HAVE SPACE!!!!!!!! (Mind you I have 2 floor to ceiling bookcases, and 3 HUMONGOUS drawers. The second bookcase has space at the bottom though.) But I hope she actually reads all of them.
Honestly this vid breaks my heart a little since I have the same storage problem like you. And to see someone only looking for books to decorate... Idk I have very mixed feelings
It's so hard being a girl trapped in this world that sees the beauty in everything. That's what my thought was when you literally point out how cool even the stairs are.
If what you're interested in is the aesthetic of the books on shelves you can literally buy "books by the yard" or "books by the foot" and select a tone (red/green/etc) or binding (cloth bound/leather bound). Could lend a cohesive look without the legwork of selecting every single one. Aristocrats would do this back in the day to fill their enormous libraries.
@@larsonfamilyhouse how many of these r books she’s ever gonna read n love beyond their looks tho lmao - i get choosing them herself but bulk ordering for the sake of the old books beauty n the beast library works the same
@@sofr790 She choses a certain book and then she picks the edition with the best look. You would know about different editions if you ever bought books in hardcover. All the classics are available in thirty or more different editions. They even had different style of letters in books from last century. I can read it and I love those ancient books.
Amber it’s not a fairytale library it’s a reality , it was once a fairytale but you achieved the reality with all your efforts . It’s proof of the fruits of your labor . You don’t need a prince to build or buy you a library you are a powerful independent Queen who will and can create anything her heart desires . ⭐️ 👑 💭 ❤️ 💪
@@AmberScholl i truly mean that Amber , you are deserving of everything. Anyone who works as hard as you have and continue to do will undoubtedly be blessed. It definitely hasn’t gone unnoticed because you continue to be an inspiration to all who have come to know you. Someday this house will be complete and also be everything you hoped it would be and I’m sure we will be here to support you when that moment comes and give you our congrats ☺️
Amber you can buy ""fake"" books to fill up the library. There's a lot of different style options, it's going to save you a lot of money. You can change them with real ones when you find interesting books, so you won't have to buy thousands at ones.
I recommend going to thrift stores and looking for books there. Also, to fill more space, you can mix vertical stacking (like you have) with horizontal stacking. It’s going to look beautiful when it’s done!
Also, there are bulk book websites where they buy books for photoshoots and movies - I bet you could place an order at one of those places. There are also places where you can buy books by color to fit your decor.💜
I am a shopaholic in general but BOOKS ARE MY KRYPTONITE. I have to get extra shelves every year to fit everything I buy because I lack self control and the funniest thing is that everyone in my family is like that. 😂 For cheaper options, I suggest you track down garage sales or literally anyone who is willing to get rid of their books for a very low price. Those people exist all over the world. Btw, try arrange the books by author's last name, genre or color. Those organizing strategies are more satisfying and makes finding books easier.
Book recommendation: The Atlas of Beauty : Women of the World in 500 Portraits by Mihaela Noroc. It would fit right in with your collection! I have it too and it was a great purchase!
This made my book worm side very happy. It's so pretty 🥰🤓 Just a simple suggestion: how about adding a few scrolls? Like coffee dye some printer paper and then when their dry, you could either write cute little messages on them. Or just roll them up and use twine to tie them close, then just stack them in some of the open shelves. 🤓📜
OMG I work at a public library so it was great to see that on your channel. Yes, you can buy stuff from the library and typically the money earned goes towards financing programs for the community. I like the idea of having the books open and displayed on every other shelf. Also, don't over pack the shelves. Having the books a little loose will help in making the shelves look fuller. Remember this is your home to build on so your book collection will grow through the years. I want my own library in my home like Beauty and the Beast as well. So cool!!!
So glad that Amber is living her best life and fulfilling the private library dream that we all have so that we can see it. Looks amazing and your ideas are just impeccable 🙏🏼🥺🤧
Honestly, you read my mind amber!! That is one of my dreams is to have a big grand library. I am so jealous! One place that you would be able to find pretty, cheap and old books is on online auctions. I wanted to get these books from the 1800s but shipping would have been to expensive for me. But there are a lot of rare and nice decorative books that you can find in your local area that way.
Slowly but surely coming along with your house. Love how you're paying so much attention to details in your home! I can't wait to see after everything is done and you've finally moved in! So happy for u Amber!! 💗💗 Ohhh u should also add string lights to your book shelf. It would look so cute at night! 😃
Amber! Pinterest; bookshelf styling! Interior designers space out books or stack them vertically flat! Different on each shelf! Saves needed all books 100%
When you get the chance to travel again, you should really look for book stores around you and look for books there! Then you’ll have a library of books from all around the world!
I've never really been one for books, but when my Dad unexpectedly passed away, I went to his house after his funeral to gather some of his belongings and I walked out with pretty much his whole book collection (he loved to read) I now have them all on display in my living room. ♡ Unfortunately it seemed as though my Dad's partner wasn't interested in his belongings, so I also left with my Dad's DVD's which are with his books and the majority of his clothes - the things that money can't buy; especially when I found one of my Dad's hairs on one of his jumpers 💙
Personally I love bookshelves with warmer tone, like deep amber mixed with brown and red, but your boolshelves at night are just WOW! So curious to see what it looks like finally!
She liked not just books but the way they are arranged from the whole architecture of that store or big libraries which is her inspo behind creating a grand library
I agree so so much with you man, like I have a mini library in my room but it’s my room so not much (room) lol and I’m just over flowing with books and I actually read them like I would kill to have something like this I would spend hours in that room 😩❤️
I mean she got books for both reasons. I have books I've never read and never plan to bcs they were given to me and they're pretty. But I'm a major bookworm anyway lol. I've always wanted a beauty and the beat feel library too. I'd make it my bedroom 🤣🤣
I can't wait to see this room completed. I've always wanted a big library in my home so it's great to live vicariously through you until I can make that dream a reality!
A GOOD HACK: display your FAVORITE covers and take up more room by turning the book so that the front is facing out. Idk if that makes sense but it looks good!
For someone who is working extremely hard to de-clutter my space and my life this year ( literally just finished listening to the audio book “Decluttering at the Speed of Life”) , all those books and empty shelves give me anxiety 😂, but Amber is like my favorite RU-vidr and I could watch her all day 😁❤️!
Your library's going to look amazing! When you're not filming I hope you try to keep the shutters closed, sun bleaching can ruin your books surprisingly quickly, especially if it's direct!
I just love to see your love for books. I know I have way to many and it stinks when I have to move soon but my office is great. I go to my old university, goodwill, used book stores and such for books. I usually try and find books that are old and interest me and I just love the smell of old books as well. I love how you are excited about collecting books since many people dont do that anymore. keep up the dream and I have enjoyed your video
Babes you definitely should get "Heavenly Bodies" by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it's literally the prettiest book I have ever seen (inside and out) and definitely your vibe!!!
That’s a great idea to use shelves to display fancy books with the crystals, I would get something to sit in front of your dads book on the page you have open with the sweet note from your dad! Another thing that would be so cool is ( IF You had A P.O BOX and let any subscribers that want to can send you a book or 2 and you could gather books from all over the world and decide which ones you will use for your library?? Just think it’s a cool idea to fill the library and yet having so many special books from all different places ? Anyone else love this idea?
Um no. Theres steps that must be taken before achieving the dream library. First you must start with becoming a book nerd. Then you must begin slowly hemorrhaging out money over a period of, well your whole life, on books until it becomes a full blown addiction, then you must obsessively hoard your books like a dragon defending treasure. Then you move to the stacking phase where you've ran out of shelf space, room for more shelves and money for said shelves and thus begin accumulating books on every inch if counter space in your home. Then you must spend a stupid amount of money on a house strictly because there's space for a library. Then and ONLY then can you create the ultimate library. Then you spend the rest of your days rearranging your books because it's never quite right. You cant just skip to the end😭 suffer along with the rest of us.
You should get Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, it's one of my favorite romance novels :D (Its enemies to lovers trope and it's also a slow burn.) I think it's written in 1800 something
Having a library in my house is such a dream of mine. I just got a bookcase for £5 and am soooooo excited to decorate it!! Finally all my books won’t just be in a pile 😂
for the shelves you can also leave one empty in between each one and just put some beautiful trinkets like glass or gold to give it more of that french/ artsy vibe 😁 or even small printed photos of your favorite artists
Nature’s first green is gold Her heart is hue to hold Her early leaves a flower But only so an hour So leaf subsides to leaf So Eden sank to grief So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay…
I'm so happy that you're beginning to stock your dream library, it fills me with joy to watch you get so excited about it! I recognise a few of those editions from my own shelves too hehe
I absolutely love Antiques. I like to mix with modern. But whenever i see a antique piece and its GOLD i cant resist. Keep looking and try going to thrift stores and flea markets they have the best finds. Also Facebook Marketplace has tons of pretty things. Xoxo .
Omg omg !! You are living out my dream, I thought I was the only one that wants a library like Belle in Beauty and the Beast. You’re doing amazing sweetie!
I believe my neighborhood Half Price Books sells “bulk books” for decor that are much cheaper than buying individual books! You can buy them by the color scheme too :)
You found some ICONIC books. This video is so inspiring. By the way you look gorgeous in this video. You and Gabi have the best style. I love how you dress and how you both decorate!!! Thank you for all your awesome content!!! Love you!
Amber honey, to save money and time, you could DIY boxes to look like books, there are plenty of Pinterest pictures to get into, also thrift shops for cheaper, and obviously more shopping for you!!! Oh and magazines, I'm sure buying vogue issues would slowly fill it up and you can technically collect history!!! [they may not be aesthetic but they could have their own section] We all know that you can make this happen
you could also put things you enjoy, small pictures, trinkets, fairytail type objects, etc. in between shelves of books and very how they look on each set
you could install wallpaper that looks like books in the empty shelves - sort of like trompe l'oeil, giving the appearance of a full library. then you could add to your collection gradually and choose books you love. goodwill and garage sales are good affordable spots to find books! i also like the store called Thrift Books, they are online! and i have to say i admire those illustrators too but my favourite is John R Neill who illustrated the Oz books by L Frank Baum!
The best place to get old books is at estate sales and auction houses. My local auction house holds theirs online and you just go and pick up. I get whole boxes of books for like $5.
Did Amber really not know you can't buy library books? I loved seeing the LA library anyway, so pretty. I really like the bare wood look of Amber's home library. This is probably my favourite video she's made. Please send your bookshelf to Daniel Greene for roasting Amber!
Thrift stores..garage sales and estate sales will have old books for practically nothing..these places will also have old encyclopedias and they are trimmed in gold writing and gold edging...they would look good on your book shelves as well...Don't forget pictures in frames look good on a book shelf as does little mirror's and plants. Good luck filling them up with all kinds of goodies 🙂👍Much Love ❤️ ~~God Bless~~
Your best video yet! I love books. I have thousands of books, but they are spread out between my apartment and my parent's house. I can't wait till I can get a house and have a library in it.
One of my fondest memories was my aunt taking my brother and I to the public library during summer break where we would check out a week's worth of novels and spend every afternoon reading. I am trying to resume this habit, as they say reading before bed is a great destressor and it reminds me of your typical " movie married couple" activity to do. When I met my hubby, we used to buy a book and I would read it aloud at night and then we watched the film to compare. ❤️ In my dreams, I would make us espresso drinks and sit in antique chairs reading one of your finds. I call dibs on Sinatra. Old blue eyes is one of my favorite singers by the way. 😉 Love the video, Amber! I also want your dress from Amazon. 😍 Gorgeous!
Goodwill always had my childhood books. No one really does like reading books. Everything is online. BUT many great books in goodwill. Always my go to when it comes to books 😇
I know she's just trying to fill the shelves with aesthetic books, but it's actually annoying me so much how she isn't organizing the shelves at all. Not alphabetically by author or title, subject, even color. How is she going to find any of the books she actually wants to read?
You should get small display racks and on every shelve display your favorite book or your most aesthetically pleasing books to fill up the shelves easier. I love how it looks!
You could commision somebody to make a diorama, you put it between the books, can look like a little harry potter street inside or some other story themed thing! I really recommend they look amazing!
