Styling Shelves by Shopping the House {31 Days: Day 23}


My entryway shelves were begging for some style and personality, so I did one of my favorite things - shopping the house - and pulled together a cozy and inviting look for fall. I want people to feel welcome and know that we truly live in our house. I think that in a small way, putting some effort into styling the shelves really helps with that. Do you know what I mean?

Before, I got my hands on them, these shelves were kind of a dumping ground for framed photos, which was kind of sad use of the space. I have a bunch of mismatched frames full of photos I love, but it was all looking rather haphazard. Take a look:


To pretty up these shelves, I grabbed all the (mostly) white books from the built-in bookcase in the living room, my favorite silver owl a large framed wedding photo, a W-shaped book (a gift from Chartreuse & Co during the Hometalk Halloween Hunt) and a few other items.

Now I'm no styling expert, but I'm loving how it all came together. I played around with a few different arrangements and ultimately settled on what you see here. The items on the shelves are all pretty different style-wise, but I think they came together nicely for cohesive look. There's lots of white with a touch of metallic and a small dose of color. It's quite a transformation from the frame graveyard above :).





Just goes to show that you probably have all kinds of items in your house that you could use to style tabletops, shelves or tables. You don't necessarily need to go our and buy lots of seasonal decor either. Maybe a little white pumpkin is all you need for it to say "fall"! All of us probably have accessories, books and other objects tucked away that are perfect for this kind of use. Don't be afraid to mix and match styles - a collected vibe is often the best anyway!

Do you have any great tips for styling shelves?

  1. A post, as an article, can be about anything and the name does not imply anything. My audemars piguet replica with sponsored content here, is the blandness of it, the lack of personal opinion for sake of the money. Using the original clasp on the rubber strap looks like crap. We seen hideous things no sane person would consider replica rolex but hideous not being treated as the hideous monstrosities they are, and I think that the root of the problem. There are literary ways in which you can call a thing hideous and at the same time keep the sponsors happy. In my opinion, rolex replica straps are somewhat acceptable only in the case when your watch uses a crocodile alligator strap, and you live in a hot climate that could cause your strap to wear out very quickly. Bakelite is not used anymore for numerous breitling replica sale and I think perhaps a little too brittle for a watch bezel. First door handle that meets will be the end of it. I have a vague recollection that he is maybe a musician, but could mention any replica watches sale of his if my life depended on it.
