This past weekend I took the time to restyle our bookcase. It had been done, minorly, before but we'd since accumulated some new books, an unfortunate trophy (a fantasy football related mishap that must be displayed until a new "winner" is chosen), and a few other odds and ends. The bookcase was starting to look a bit thrown together. So I decided to try styling it by color and see how it looked. I'm really happy with the results.
My photography skills are still a bit lacking so please excuse the poor photos. And the abundance of space on some of the shelves. Someday they'll be filled with fun treasures. All in good time.
Our DVDs used to be in plain view and looked a little out of place. I purchased these DVD storage boxes to hide them in instead. I also picked up a few magazine files while I was at it. Everything is still easily accessible but out of sight when we don't need them.
Lastly, I finally got to hang my butterfly print from our trip to Maine. I love it! My boy likes to pick favorite butterflies from the print and ask what their names are. Everybody's happy.
Would you ever style your bookcase by color? There's an argument that it makes titles more difficult to find but I think its worth it for the overall appearance (we honestly don't go searching for titles too often and when we do, we know what the cover looks like). What about you?
Totally love it! The green walls look great with it too. I love how organized a book shelf looks when organized by color. And is there a reason said trophy is hanging out near Brad's photo??? Is it an omen???
ReplyDeleteIt looks really beautiful. I also love your wall color and cute little chair in the corner.
