Bookshelf Ideas That Will Beautify Your Home

 

Wondering what to do with empty bookshelves? Check out these amazing bookshelves ideas that will inspire you and give you some tips on what to put on your bookshelf and how to style it!

One of these days I’m going to have more time to jump into organizing my office, which I renovated recently, and now it’s starting to gather that dreaded clutter once again.

I have a couple of boxes of catalogs from my trips to the furniture markets, books, and magazines from several years back and a closet full of crafting supplies that I just don’t get to craft with anymore. My bookshelves are from Ikea and we did a stylish makeover but they seem to catch things like a junk drawer so I need to get cracking on that over here!

This weekend I know that isn’t going to happen because we are working on a BIG project outside. I can’t wait to share it!

If you follow me over on Instagram I’ll be showing it live in my Instagram stories. So for now it’s going to have to wait and I’m headed out of town on Monday for business.

Today I’m sharing some fabulous bookshelf ideas and hacks with you and lots of tips and DIYs to create something stylish for your home.
