Project Design: Slowly Steps To Mode Your Shelves

I'm coming inwards hot hither y'all.....trying to squeak this postal service out earlier the deadline! 

Today along alongside Mary Ann from Classic Casual Home, Kris from Driven By Decor, Annie from Most Lovely Things, in addition to Cindy from Rough Luxe  are getting downwards in addition to muddied almost an consequence that I think all of you powerfulness endure interested in!

I don't think it's whatever large undercover that styling bookshelves tin travail anxiety.... trying to instruct the perfectly curated "undecorated"....like "I but threw this materials together" hold off tin pause fifty-fifty the best of us!

Oh I know nosotros instruct inwards seem similar it's slowly in addition to when I took everything off mine the other solar daytime to develop for this postal service you tin believe I took a quick snapshot inwards illustration the "styling well" ran dry.

It's all skillful in addition to I think I powerfulness fifty-fifty travel out them similar this for a hot minute.

Let's start from the beginning.....

Before

This was over a twelvemonth in addition to a one-half ago....and I gotta tell you....I was pretty happy alongside how "minimal" they looked.

But I decided that you guys desire to come across how it's done....my theory behind the scenes....of how I instruct started.

Before......

My bookshelves are "fixed"....I can't conform them.  Would I alter that.....maybe but I actually don't similar all the small-scale holes on the side then that's the merchandise off!

 

I cleared these babies in addition to it was definitely a skillful fourth dimension to dust also!  Whew.  Possibly stage ane of "project boundary clean".....ha ha.

Then I but started playing....but wasn't having likewise much luck.

But I kept at it....meaning I walked around aimlessly putting off what I KNEW had to happen.

And afterward almost xx minutes I started feeling OK....

The hand shelf has a cool dark in addition to white vase that I scored at Target final year....On the 2nd shelf... both vases are from Target in addition to I threw a greenish mistaken succulent in ane of them [Pottery Barn].

Vintage woods bowl from a flea market.

I think for me....I similar to add together some vintage objects so it doesn't hold off similar I but filled upwardly my cart at HomeGoods.....you know?  Believe me....I scoured my trouble solid looking for things.....

The woods shelf was institute inwards the bathroom department at HomeGoods....thinking exterior the box a little.....and the fine art was from West Elm painted past times Steve McKenzie.

I form of left the hand shelf real minimal.....

Second side......

Before

Keeping generally alongside black, white in addition to some woods tones....

I wanted to mix it upwardly a piffling then I moved the woods beads to this side.....

Again I similar to add together some greenery in addition to endeavour to uncovering some that looks every bit existent every bit I can....not e'er easy!

For the hand shelf on the left....the vase was from World Market [bought final year]....dried flowers from an organisation in addition to some woods beads but curled up.  I needed a small-scale dark prototype then I did it myself:)

Tribal handbasket alongside mistaken flora inwards it....again lay things into things:)  I also added some other small-scale prototype from West Elm past times Steve McKenzie.

Remember....layering from behind alongside a small-scale piece of art....or a book....or a body of body of water fan....just something that volition give it dimension.

And.......that's a roll for this Project Design series!  Head over to come across what all of my other talented friends did. 

Hope this gave yous some direction in addition to ideas....now you tin instruct to travel on those boundary bookcases.....and recall convey a sponge in addition to some newspaper towels nearby.....just saying.
