Style shift…..it happens.

source

I was going to start this post by saying one of the hazards of being in

the interior design business was always being swayed to change

up your style based upon the latest and greatest trends……

but who am I kidding?  I have always switched up my decor, I get tired,

antsy, enamored by the new and shiny…what can I say?

This spring will mark our 5th year of living in our current home -

that is a record for our family.  We had never lived in any of 

our previous SEVEN homes longer than three years.

Let that sink in.

I am definitely feeling like I am ready to embrace a

cleaner aesthetic - more modern, monochromatic, simpler.

I have some fun plans…..including a remake of

THE famous gallery wall!!! 

I know, crazy talk!!!

Want to see what I am digging?

We are off to enjoy our spring break soaking in some Mexico sunshine!

Buenos Dias!

More bookshelf styling…..and see my grasscloth-backed shelves!

Are you sick of seeing these bookshelves yet?  I really do have a 

love/hate relationship with open shelves.  While I love styling bookshelves

and of course, I love my collections, I have days when I want to

load it all up and send it to Goodwill….it begins to feel too much.

Recently, I added grasscloth to the backs of my 

built-in bookshelves and I LOVE the warmth

and texture it adds!  I partnered with Walls Republic and chose

a pretty neutral color but they have SO many beautiful 

grasscloths to choose from!!!

I really have tried a lot of different looks with these shelves, 

you can see the different styling looks HERE, HERE and HERE.

The post of my planked back bookshelves is still one

of my most popular posts!

And while the more minimal look works for some, I found

it doesn't for me.  I LOVE the collected look of many books

along with decorative objects - the grasscloth pairs well 

with this look.
