Shelf Love

March 27, 2011 by Amber Filed Under: Uncategorized Leave a Comment

In my mind, I have a ton of ideas for our guest room overhaul! The only things to (probably) stay are the headboard, carpet and wall color- everything else must go! Our current wall color is Benjamin Moore’s yarmouth blue, which I love! It is a coastal blue, with gray undertones at different times of the day. It is a calm, soothing color for the bedroom and one that is easy to work with. When thinking about wall art, I remembered the beautiful white shelves from pottery barn I have been meaning to find a home for, and I think it’s in this space! They were a wedding gift from a dear friend, and I think they pop against the blue walls. 

So, I started to “shop” around my home, trying to find pieces to fit on the shelves. I lucked out and found this adorable elephant statue, (also a wedding gift) that when faced toward the room entrance, is supposed to bring good luck! My mom generously gave me the three gold colored mirrors (thanks, mom!) The photo with the purple matting (I will change out/paint the matte) was also a gift- it’s a reminder of the time when Italy used the lire as money, instead of the euro. I love it! The heart shaped photo is my husband and I, which we’ve had forever. And the crystal candle holder and small vase are from Target! All in all, this first room change hardly cost anything!!

I like to layer when decorating, to add depth and dimension to the space. I wanted to hang some art, to free up room on the shelf, thus adding more dimension. This is still a work in progress, and much more to come on the room in the future!

What would you add/change to the shelves?!?

    I love the color of your walls. It's a nice blueish green. Very classy.

Now that the ladder has been relocated to the family room, this corner is definitely in need of some height. I almost went with the idea of a tree and while I love it in other homes, I just didn’t see it here. So I went on Pinterest in search of inspiration and @studiomcgee to the rescue! I love the idea of a pedestal with a vase and maybe some branches, instead of a tree. I can switch up the accessories on the pedestal and I think it’s the winner! Inspiration in the next slide. #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving

It breathes new life into a space, even with subtle touches. I switched the living room and family room table lamps and I like the larger scale lamp in here! I have fun plans for the living room, which I’ll share soon. Happy Friday!! #amberbdesignathome #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #coastalliving

This year, we had it to the left of the television and I really feel like that space is now so empty. I tried the living room ladder in its place and I love it! But the living room needs it there too. What to do?! Maybe a tall plant in one of the spaces?! Two ladders within feet of each other?! 😂 #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #howyouhome #SMmakelifebeautiful #loveyourhabitat #bhghome
