shelf styling ideas from the Parade of Homes: how to decorate bookshelves and bookcases, wall and built-ins
27 October 2021
One of the top decorating dilemmas is: how to style my shelves/bookcase/open shelving? Here are some ideas from the Utah Valley Parade of Homes this year that may help you out:
 |
| Books, vases, picture frames, baskets are great places to begin. |
 |
| Also greenery, decorative boxes, wood sculptures |
 |
| Bowls, more books, vases + greenery plus those great lights! |
 |
| * did you know you can order book dust jackets that are color coordinated?? |
 |
| * love the arches on these ones! |
 |
| * the extra touch of the light at the top makes all the difference |
 |
| * the main question for this one was how do you get work done when someone is practicing the piano?? |
 |
| * it's okay to have some empty shelves! |
 |
| * baskets, clocks, and candles are also great options |
 |
| * just one sign with lettering and also notice how they layered the picture frame, plate, plant and beads |
 |
| * I think the blue, leather, and light in here are perfection ♥ |
The last little tablescape in this house! {sigh}
Happy 4th of July to my U.S.A readers ~ remembering all of those that have made and continue to make our freedoms possible.
Thank you.
So, the weather isn’t really cooperating here, so we decided to take matters into our own hands and bring some spring inside.
I so wish that I could keep a straight hand for chalkboard lettering~maybe a level would help?? There is something soothing about coloring in chalkboard letters though…
My mom sent me this sweet picture of an easter egg hunt~I was 4 years old and my favorite part about it is my Dad’s plaid pants in the background!
Do you remember bunny? I can’t believe she’s still all in one piece!
Happy Spring to you all~is your weather feeling like spring today?
Don’t laugh at my chalkboard lettering..I’m working on it! There is something relaxing about coloring on a chalkboard though…
This year I just used a fresh $5 black friday cedar garland from Home Depot (cut in half), some mercury lights from Target clearance last year, a jingle bell wreath from a couple of years ago, some pinecones, and a piece of chalk for my chalkboard that used to be a thriftstore painting.
Tomorrow we will have another blogger sharing Favorite Things (you’ll love her too!) and don’t forget our favorite things party on 12.12.12:
See you back here tomorrow~ I updated some deals here today!
Here is my inspiration at Pottery Barn. We’re going to do much better than $50 though.
…and it will surprise you what the Lord has done. 
They came like this:
Someone asked me if I keep the boys out of the living room.
Well….
We went to a fake tree when we moved to Lubbock, Texas there wasn’t an abundance of fresh pine trees. Oh, how I miss the smell!….but don’t miss watering, worrying about it catching on fire, vacuuming pine needles…
