Let’s shelf this idea indeed. Well as you know I have been off work and I finally had time to complete a project in the house that I have been wanting to do for the longest time.
Our living room is long and narrow and I never knew how I wanted to fill that empty space at the “other end” of the room. And then I had a eureka moment. A library wall filled with only my favorite things.
So, I took some snapshots to show you. It’s 4 ikea bookcases stacked and side by side and it looks like this::
okay, now let me show you some details:
see my little blue chair bookend - gift from hubby |
more details - so much fun shopping for all these little boxes!
la dee dah - just makes me happy!
took a while to go through the house and find all my somerset issues ; )
(Four more rows - not shown here)
See my curtains - love this print - it's soft and cozy at night
And then on the opposite wall ...
I enlarged some of my collages on the right and framed them - they look great
(the treescape on the left is not mine unfortunately but a purchased print). I plan to fill the entire opposite wall with some of my work! The blank slate is inspiring me to paint.!
So how fun is all that. I am still working on the desk which sits in front of the window and adding lights to the top of the bookshelves. Will show you that in a couple of days when complete!
I hope I inspired you to complete one of your projects that you have always wanted to do - just do it. It makes me so happy every time I look at all those goodies on the shelf.
Just sayin' cuz they go real fast.
Have a great Wednesday!
Cathy
