Bookshelf + Built-In Shelf Styling

Earlier this week, I shared with y'all that I'm having a little trouble decorating the built-in bookshelves in my new living room. Sure, there's the obvious... books. But what about accessories? Picture frames? Tchotckes? I think it's one of those "the possibilities are endless" kind of things... I don't even know where to start. Good thing it's 2013 and we can call on Pinterest for help.

Say hello to these really bomb-styled shelves (that's a technical term). I've been jotting down mental notes and learning from these inspiring spaces. Aren't they amazing?

See what I mean? I could go on forever... there are a million fab ways to style a bookshelf. I think I just need to lay all my decor out on the floor, grab my friend Katelyn and a bottle of wine and go to town styling. Yee-haw! Any bookshelf styling tips you'd like to pass on?

  4. My grandfather made me some built in bookshelves recently and it is so tricky to style them! You just have to keep playing. And I do end up laying everything on the floor and just trying different combos. Good luck! Love the new house for now by the way!
