11 Built-In Bookshelves

July 5, 2016

black white living rooms built in bookshelves

How are we already half way through 2016?! I don’t know how you’re feeling but I just spent a fabulous 4th of July weekend with my bestie AM and her sweet family in East Hampton (more to come on this later) and I actually feel so ready to take on this second half of the year…anyone else with me??

In honor of this burst of inspiration I’ve been looking at ways to freshen up living room spaces…I’m realizing the rooms I spend the most time in need to have a revamp…a 2.0 if you will…and what I’ve found is this amazing way to design with built-in bookshelves. Besides being the perfect way to showcase your favorite personal trinkets and books..these built-in bookshelves don’t clutter your space, no matter how large or small it may be. In fact, if designed well I believe they can actually make the room feel much bigger. So today is all about my 11 picks for best built-in bookshelves. Let these spaces spark some creativity of your own…these books or decor pieces will serve as conversation starters no doubt. Try it in your home…whether it’s one wall in your living room, the entire wall of your living room, or even a built-in look in your bedroom if your space is super small 😉

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
