Growing up, I have always been captivated by personal libraries large enough to have sliding ladders. Although lately I am more likely to find escape online than in a good book – book covers have become works of art in and of themselves. I aspire to someday have a home library, with a staircase as beautiful as this one by designer Rose Tarlow. Rose believes that “words and furniture have a lot in common”.
