Shelf Love – Part 2 – Some Changes

April 7, 2011 by Amber Filed Under: Uncategorized Leave a Comment

I am in the process of changing things up in our guest room. One of the first changes for the walls were the addition of white shelves, mentioned in more detail here. I got wonderful feedback when I asked opinions for sprucing them up a bit! I took all ideas into account when I went out shopping at a local boutique. They were having a spring open house, with everything 10% off! I went there hoping to find some inspiration, and walked out with 4 more additions to the shelves- all for a great price! (I always love to search for unique finds at boutiques and small owned shops- it’s such a treat when they wrap it up all nice and pretty for you!) And since most of the objects on the shelves (including the shelves) were gifts, I felt a little shopping trip was a great idea! So without further adieu, here are the revamped shelves:

I think it looks more full, without being too busy. I added texture, natural elements and witty quotes to give the space some unique interest. When I found the very textural green ball, I knew what the room’s color palette would be: shades of blue with pops of green and gray! I loved the little bird and thought of Kat’s post here.

And here is a reminder of where the shelf love started: (Before)

And After (again!)

(I still plan to change the matting on the Italian frame!)
I had so much fun with it! I cannot wait to work on the rest of the room. I have lots more up my sleeve!! This will be the room in our home where I will take the most risks and use bold colors.  
Thanks so much for all of the wonderful ideas and comments on my first “shelf love” post! I really appreciate it. To see all of the great comments and ideas, visit here.

The glow is so pretty at night and it transformed that original to the home chandelier! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #bhghome #hgtv #myballardstyle #yespb #sharemygrandin #diningroom #livingroom

The chandelier looks so much bigger for this space. The second image shows the before, so you can also compare! Sometimes, you don’t have to replace the whole light fixture. One new, small idea can make all the difference. Thanks so much @frontgate #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #hgtv #bhghome #loveyourhabitat #diningroom

This light was here when we moved in and I think adding the cream shades will make the chandelier look bigger in scale and just give it a new look! Stay tuned… #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #sharemygrandin #yespb #myballardstyle #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #diningroom

It has been through wind, rain and lots of sunshine and still has that beautiful navy blue color. I wasn’t able to find the exact one, but my Like to Know It page has two very similar options! And if you need me, I’ll be here all weekend! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #poolside
