I have no idea what I'll put on the wall next to the bookcases (above the radiator) but since deciding on and hanging artwork on the walls is probably my favourite part of decorating I'm sure I'll think of something!
The narrow one on the right with the door is from the bathroom. We will eventually buy doors for the one on the left too so that the whole of the bottom is closed but for now I've made use of some organising boxes and things I had to store my craft goodies.
What do you think of the shelf arrangements? I still need to decide what's going into the blank frame, replace the very old pics in the silver frames and add a little green something (small vase?) in front and to the right of the picture of Christ.
Here's how the bathroom looks now. I'll either hang pictures on the wall above the cabinet (which we got for dirt cheap at B&M, a local bargain store) or move the clock there and install some sort of towel rack above the bath to store rolled towels in and put a plant on the cabinet. (Click here to see how the bathroom used to look. It looks so much bigger now with the shorter cabinet!)
This is the view of the bathroom I get every time I go up the stairs - I just love it for some reason.
I love the bookshelves. I also love your clean, fresh style. Your home looks so comfortable and refreshing. Thanks for visiting my blog! I'll check back here often too!
ReplyDeleteYou have a really lovely decorating stye (so different from my {barely} controlled chaos! I really enjoyed your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely home! Beautiful choices of colors, and I love the openings in between the rooms. It's such a gift to take beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for visiting my blog...glad you did!
Wow, your home is beautiful. My home will never. look. like. that. Heh. I also think (from the previous post) you made a great choice painting the fireplace a different color, much better! And I've been perusing your blog, your photos are REALLY nice. Really nice! Thanks for sharing them with the world!
ReplyDeleteFree stuff is the best. I once used a wooden wine rack as a towel rack. I hung it horizontally and it was perfect for holding rolled towels. Something like that might look neat in your bathroom.
ReplyDeleteYour house is very pretty. Thanks for stopping by at my blog.
the bookshelf looks great! very jealous of your bathroom. i rent, and i despise my very pink bathroom. blech.
ReplyDeleteI love the bookshelves. I like the neutral colors and harmony. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI love the bookshelves! I've always wanted some like that but I'm afraid mine would collect clutter instead of looking so nice and neat like yours!
ReplyDeleteThose shelf arrangements are perfect! I'm so going to try to talk you into coming to do mine!! :) Thanks for posting your blog on the pod. I would have missed it. K, I'm heading to go look at the rest of your great ideas. :) TFS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Billy bookshelves. I have three of the narrow ones and one of the sider ones. They're so simple and clean lined but hold a TON of stuff!
ReplyDeleteCan I tell you how funny I think it is that the bathroom cabinet came from B&M? I have a warped sense of humor...
You are inspiring me, Jen! I wanna be you. lol. my home is so eclectic, i need to focus a bit. i will haunt your blog. thx!
ReplyDeleteLove the new bookshelves! You really have knack for decorating open shelving (with is my vile enemy, btw). I love what you chose to put in there--gorgeous mix of patterns, colors, and sizes. Very nice!
