I want to use western books for my welcome space!
One of the items that shines in the welcome space is antique western books.
Simply placing them as they are adds a stylish touch, and if you stack western books and place another item on top, it creates height and balances the space well.
Without asserting their own presence, they enhance the overall atmosphere, making them essential supporting actors in the welcome space♡
But where can I buy western books?
But...
Where can I buy antique and stylish western books?
Real vintage western books are not commonly found in many stores, making them hard to come by.
Furthermore, even if you find them in a second-hand bookstore, they can be quite expensive…!
If you wish to gather several books, you can't spend that much on just one, right?
(In fact, when I was a brides-to-be, I went all the way to Jimbocho to search, but I couldn't find anything within my budget and gave up….)
Let's DIY imitation books!
For brides-to-be in this situation, I recommend making "imitation books" yourself!
Imitation books are interior items shaped like books.
These are displayed as books, so the inside is not filled with real pages but is a hollow box.
At first glance, they look like antique western books, making them perfect for decorating your welcome space!

The DIY method for imitation books is very simple.
Just stick printed paper with western book cover designs on a book-shaped box sold at Seria or Can Do.
