A stylish styling idea...bookshelf

A couple of weeks ago I stripped down my Mum's enormous built-in bookshelves and spent the afternoon putting everything back. The shelves are white, and have a lot of books, but I incorporated lots of extra accessories in timber, natural earthy ceramic tones and shades of blue and green. The rest of the family thought I was crazy but I think it looks so much better now!

So to inspire you to reinvent your bookshelves this week I have a little inspiration for you...



I love the casual elegance of this arrangement and the family photos! So many designers tell you not to put family photos out but there are beautiful ways to display them like below. Notice the books are roughly colour grouped as well, while the dark shelves make the lighter objects stand out.

Pretty isn't it? Don't worry...I will expand on this topic on the weekend! (I've had a busy week).
