bookshelves.

Aren't these bookshelves so pretty?

While looking through my inspiration folder, I was drawn to these two white-walled rooms. I love the wood filled fireplace, perfect gray tufted bench, floor to ceiling bookshelves, and of course the gallery wall. These rooms have me thinking I could have a house with all white walls throughout. Plenty of architectural details would be a must though!

Hope everyone had a lovely week. Happy Friday!

vintage finds.

As I have recently posted, I have been working to make my bookshelves look "decorated." I recently added two new vintage finds to my bookshelves. While I was in Charlotte a couple weekends ago, I got to spend some time with my lovely friend Allyson. Since we both love antique/thrift shopping, we went to the Sleepy Poet Antique Mall. We shopped for a long time (the place is HUGE!) and both came out with a few items. I bought a porcelain glove mold and an antler. I have added both items to my bookshelves and I love them. I feel like I am so close now to having these shelves properly "decorated."

Happy Monday!

a little paint.

after

After a little paint, I have a new look to the built-in shelves in my apartment. Those shelves have been driving me crazy for quite some time. I feel much better about them with the new color. Although, I still have a ways to go on "decorating" the shelves. Creating a pretty bookshelf is not easy! I like them much better already though.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Happy Tuesday!
