If you have a lot of green-ish books, then you really need to do this! The monochromatic bookcase is so pleasing to the eye. AND GUESS WHAT?! Books By the Foot sells groupings of green books, just like this image. So if you want this look but don't have enough books, check out their site. (From Books By the Foot)
