It's ironic that the last posting was this time last year, and we mentioned last year's Modern Home Tour. Well, this is our first post of 2012 and definitely not the last. As you can imagine with over 15 homes to tour, there was a lot to see.
You can follow this link to see more information about the houses we toured.
One of the trends that stood out to me was the bookcase. Not just one bookcase, but several built in's, in more than one room, and they were not only showcases for books, but for prized collections of arts/artifacts, and in one home, vintage children's toys that I remember playing with myself.

So, the book is not dead!!! One home even utilized the Ikea Expedit Shelving Units along a 10' wall. Each was recessed into the wall, and looked like a custom built-in.A custom look for less than $200.00 a piece.
