I got some decorating projects done over the holiday break and one of them was rearranging this shelf I have in my office. I loaded it up with books and coral with a couple clocks thrown in.
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.

Looks great! I love the old letters with the beautiful handwriting...a lost art.

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
