About Sea Glass
Sea Glass is the palette of a beach walk at low tide: worn aqua, pale blue-green and that soft, frosted turquoise you find in the sand and slip into your pocket. These real hardcover books are sorted to aqua and soft blue-green spines. Aqua and blue-green spines are less common than neutral ones, which is why this palette is priced a little higher. On white shelves they feel fresh and breezy. Beside cream books they're pure summer cottage. In a bathroom alcove, sunroom or nursery they add color that still feels restful. A short run goes a long way, and a five-book shelf stack is a lovely accent on a coffee table or nightstand. Titles vary. Good used condition: clean and intact, with light shelf wear possible. Ships free to the continental U.S.

Questions about Sea Glass

Both, softly. Spines range from aqua and pale turquoise to muted blue-green.
Can I fill a whole bookcase with it?
You can, but most rooms look best with Sea Glass as a supporting or accent color alongside Dunes cream.
