Anne Tollett from Hanover Avenue has been lighting up Instagram lately with unique bookish accents for your home, so I thought who better to team up with for a holiday gift guide for bookworms! Today, Anne is covering gifts for bookworms and I’ll share a gift guide with actual books on Monday! I give you Anne…
Two heads really are better than one – especially when the second head is the funny and brilliant Sarah Dickinson! Our very first muse at Hanover Avenue, Sarah has collaborated on more rooms with us than anyone else!
“Hey, Sarah, wanna choose every book for your dream library?”
Result: A True Reader’s Home Library
“Hey Sarah, wanna choose the books a bachelorette’s apartment in London who is looking for Mr. Right?”
Result: The White Knight Bedroom
“Hey Sarah, wanna pick the books for one bathroom shown three unique ways?”
Result: The Mineral Bathroom
Every time the answer is an energetic, “Yes! When do you need it?!”
The books that Sarah chooses for our Hanover Avenue rooms always round out the space making it feel personal and authentic. She is a true reader’s best friend, so to compliment the books Sarah picked for her Holiday Book List (coming on Monday), we decided to pull together our favorite and carefully curated items for the Book Lover in your life!
Behold…

Book ends are always so tempting, but I never need them – my books take up all the space from one end to the other!
I love the whale bud vase, too. And, the floating shelves…
Since my Black Friday shopping is finished, except for one more, it’s the selfish time for me, me, me with these gifts!! I’ve had my eye on those quotation bookends ever since you posted your first dream room. *sigh* I guess I’ll be the sacrificial lamb and buy them. 😉
What a fun collaboration! I even had to go back and check out some of your previous posts! I love the above suggestions because they are different from what many of the typical gift giving guides are featuring. I love it!
Love the animal plates and the quotation marks. If only I had more space for things…
I’m still in love with that crumpled paper waste basket; it is TOO cute! I also love the quotation mark bookends; what a great idea. I love pretty much everything from Anthropologie though, so…GAH!
