When we bought our home there were no shelves for anything! If you know me, you know I have stuff. Stuff I have collected through the years, from estate sale finds, to great grandma’s house, or simply, it somehow ended up in my home. So I always had a dream of Styling Built-in Bookshelves in my own home.
One of the first things I did when we moved in was have built-in shelving custom made. If we were to ever move, this would be the first thing I would do in all my houses. Also, when it comes to staging other homes, I always spend time re-arranging their built-ins. SO many people just place their “stuff” on shelves, but then it doesn’t draw the attention it deserves or appeal to those passing by.
Styling Built-in Bookshelves
Part of my design philosophy is having our home tell our story. Everything in it has meaning or means something to us. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t come in.
