As I shared before, I’m working on decorating our apartment and it’s coming right along. We started with the living room because it’s the largest space and the room we spend most of our time together, entertaining or simply relaxing with a book. Once we decided on a furniture layout and color scheme, (I wrote about our plans HERE and HERE), we started with our bookshelves. We have a pair of Billy’s that we’re in the process of upgrading with new trim and bead board backs.
Just adding the crown molding and base boards made such a difference and I can’t wait to show you the finished result. They are now primed and I’m still deciding on paint – simply white with/without (?) pale sky blue backs… I think both ways would look great but I’m taking my time because I want to spare myself the trouble of removing a million books in order to repaint the backs… So, while I’m mulling over paint swatches I’m also on the hunt for pretty, one-of-a-kind accessories for our home and, on that note, I want to share with you a sweet find.
