Rainbow bright (aka feel instantly happier)

I’ve been meaning to point out the awesomely color-coordinated rainbow bookshelf featured in the January issue of Southern Living.

I have a feeling this is a hard one to pull off in real life (does anyone really have a significant quota of books of each color?), but let’s face it, no matter how old you are, there’s something so visually relaxing about looking at rainbows.  If I were at all capable of conducting scientific research, I might do a study of whether people feel happier after looking at a rainbow.  My money’s on yes.  (Helps if you have a cute dog, too.)

Here’s some other rainbow libraries for your ocular enjoyment.  (Gotta credit the fabulous themodernhome for most of these.)
