I love all the different textures. I'm sharing a few closeup photos and can share more of this room after I paint the walls(which in my opinion is not fun) and a couple pieces of furniture. I'm still going to be sharing areas that I am working on in my home throughout 2012 in hopes that it keeps me motivated to finish all the rooms that I'm wanting to redecorate. I hope you'll follow me in my journey. Enjoy! xoxo K.

I like what you've done with the shelves. Mixing the textures of the books and coral is interesting, and pleasing for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteHave fun re-working your rooms in 2012.
Your shelf looks gorgeous with all those books! Love the coral and vintage clocks too!
ReplyDeleteYou shelves look so lovely Kathleen!! I love old books way before they were popular- I cannot bring myself to tear off the book covers though but have bought some old one that I could do that with!
ReplyDeleteI've packed my bags. I'll follow you anywhere :D

Well I just love your newly arranged shelf with old books! Isn't it great to get projects finished? I can't wait to see the whole room! You are so right...painting is no fun at all. Just one of those awful necessities sometimes :) Happy New Year, Kathleen!

Oh, I love this...all the old books and coral make me think of a natural history library. Hope your year is off to a good start :)
