Style that {Bookcase}


Today, a new feature here on PBT: Style that {insert what's being styled here}. Luvs it??? I do. Anyway. Yours truly is a firm believer in the premise that: 

it's ALL about the stylin'

And, also... that what is good for business is good for people. And vice-versa. So I say you wanna approach styling with a plan, for the most part, and then leave the remaining 15% of the project to intuition and do what feels right with the finishing touches.

Ok, in the case of BOOKCASES, here are three examples of how it's done:


1.
Plan: You stick to a style and be consistent (in this case, Classic & Preppy Chic).
Intuition: Create focal point by hanging something unexpected in the middle of the arrangement.




2.
Plan: Be true to a color scheme and the texture as well as shape of the objects {the theme here is Coastal and carried to perfection}
Intuition: adjust the height of the objects in display by placing books underneath





3.
Plan: arrange by color
Intuition: play with the books height to create a skyscraper effect!!!





Ok easier said than done. But practice makes perfect, right?????????

Interesting point!

Happy Monday!!! After a much too nice Mother's day weekend with the family, I am feeling happy and ready for this week's challenges!
And what can be better to start the week than some pretty practical examples on how to make your kitchen better by displaying some interesting, everyday items such books, bottles of wine, old mirrors and plants? give your kitchen personality, and turn it into a great living space! after all, most of us spend more time in the kitchen than anywhere else in the house...
