Well, I finally finished re-styling my book case. I totally "shopped the house" and gathered up the books that I reference on a regular basis, my favorite photos and art, vases, baskets and boxes. I think that I like how it all came together but my editing eye isn't exactly seeing 20/20 lately. So I may have to live with it like this until I can decide if I've gone too far.
Here is the very tragic before picture....
And *drumroll* here is the after! What do you think? Too much? Ughh!!! I just don't know!
The little vingette on top... consists of a couple of topiaries, artwork scribbled my niece when she was 2ish, a photo taken by my big bro of a house from the "Heidelburg Project" and a little "Keep Calm" print. I love these personal pieces, they make me smile!
Please forgive the very poor picture quality. My camera phone is the only functioning camera I own right now. So Mom and Dad, if you're reading this, I only have one word to say.... Birthday. (hint, hint!)
Tell me what you think... go ahead and be honest, I can take it!
