Random person : "So, Ellerie…when did you first realize your mom was crazy?"
Ellerie : "oh man. Tough call. But I think it was June 9, 2014… the day she organized my books in rainbow order."
ps. here's E's full room tour with product sources.

Better than alphabetical order! That would be really crazy. I have all of our DVD’s organized in alphabetical order and my friends think I am nutty.

I have to admit that I expected this to happen a lot earlier, but figured that since she pulls all the books out frequently, you decided not to. 🙂 But I totally get it. When you’re in their room, not much to do, it can just happen. I may have done it myself a time or two.

You’re not alone! Years ago, a good friend of mine went to my closet to borrow a shirt and then had to tease me because I organize my closet by color.

I think about organizing my books by rainbow order at least once a day, but then decide to keep them by subject, author, etc. I have so many other things by rainbow order. rainbow order, sigh. 🙂

Our bookshelves are organized in rainbow order, as well, and I absolutely love how it looks! It’s like art. And surprisingly, I have no problem finding a book when I’m looking for a specific title. Love it.

If that’s what makes a person crazy, then get me to a mental institution! Rainbow-ordered books make it look sooooo much more neat!

All of our books that are displayed are color organized, and I am not 1. My hubby thinks I am crazy to fined gardening next to areonautical engineering, but he humors me.

We had our living room book shelf organized in rainbow order for a while! I like to switch it around and change how I organize. Right now, it’s not. Just randomly thrown together which is fun. But I’m sure I’ll want to change things up again soon!

Oof, I did this once with my huge Expedit bookshelf, and it took forever. It was pleasing for me while it lasted, though. (Just sifted through my archives for a photo, and wow was that a blast from the past, pre-baby):
