I’ve been going back and forth on what color to paint a couple of nightstands for my bedroom.
First I thought black.
Then I thought white.
Then black.
White.
Winter Living Room
I think it’s safe to say that winter is pretty much in full force and effect just about everywhere right now. I happen to be one of those odd people who enjoys the season, but I will admit it doesn’t do a whole lot for my productivity. The short days and cold air have me craving couch time with a cozy blanket and a fire like no other.
Which could be why I love it so much.
Or maybe it’s because no other season is more perfect for being home.
Rustic Bells on the Stairs
It’s been quite the week. I have a girlfriend coming in to visit for the weekend so I’ve been super busy trying to get the rest of the house decorated and cleaned up before she arrives. I’m going to do my best to get the rest photographed and ready for posts for next week, but until then I thought I’d share the quick and easy way I dressed up the staircase this season.
Bookshelves and a Little Wine
“Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.” – Dr. Seuss
I have never met a bookshelf I didn’t like.
Never ever.
You neither?
There’s a reason we’re all friends. 🙂
So big is my love of bookshelves, that I’ve always dreamed of having my own little library somewhere in my house, but our house is pretty small, so shortly after we moved in Jordan gave me the next best thing and built those amazing wall to wall bookshelves in the living room you always see.
We drew a concept out on paper and then made some adjustments.
And then we taped it all out with blue painters tape on the wall to get a feel for how it would look in the room.
And then we made a few more adjustments.
And then he started building it in sections out in the garage.
And we primed and painted…and painted some more.
And we muscled each section into the house and installed them against the wall.
And then we painted some more.
And then finally I got to fill those shelves! It was a pretty great day. 😀
