Book Shelf Styling....

via 

One of my favorite things to do for clients is to style

book shelves - it is an area of design that

I feel most confident and creative.

It's even better when the client has unique

collections and interests.

The photo above and the one below are

book shelves I love - they are well

styled and have the 'collected' look I usually go for.

I guess you would say, I am not a minimalist!

This photo below is a cupboard

in a client's home that I worked on yesterday.

Yes, it still has some work to be done - see that naked 

upper left corner?  But what I love most about this space,

and others that I have the privilege of working on, is that

it is a reflection of the people who live in the home.

We were able to include her husband's collection

of Stephen King novels and mix in her recent

flea market finds - including some great brass pieces

{I may have had some influence on that!}.

What we end up with is a beautifully collected look.

Have a wonderful weekend!
