This past weekend I went out & purchased a few items for the floating IKEA cabinets I posted about here.
I read ALL of your comments & suggestions on what I should place on the shelving & believe me, there were lots of good ones, so thank you!!!! Many of you has suggested adding lamps - but it isn't wide enough for a decent sized lampshade...& I didn't want to get mini-lamps, so I scratched that idea. Here's what I added...

I wanted to keep it relatively simple....but I think I may pile a couple more books on each side for more height....
The flowers are silk flowers I purchased awhile ago, don't recall where (sorry) but you can find them online I'm sure! They feel really nice & I love how they look in person! The white vase the flowers are in is from West Elm.
The little white vase pictured above is from ZGallerie. It's so cute & lightweight, can easily be moved around the house.
I've always wanted a piece of driftwood & instead of hunting for it myself in some town or buying it on Ebay, I decided to buy the one I saw at ZGallerie. It was perfect & super affordable at only $25!
All the books I have on a flat display are:
World Art
So, what do you think so far?

Great choices! I am loving the pink flowers...always a good look!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful - love those white vases. I have quite the collection of textured white vases myself! Something narrow like that is such a tricky thing to arrange but I love what you have so far :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great - such a tricky thing to accessorise but you've done a beautiful job! I love all those white vases - I have quite the collection of textured white vases myself :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous Jen - lots of well-chosen things but not too forced which I believe is always a challenge when needing to fill a whole new space. Also loving your new Coco & Hearts pieces!

Looks very "you" and I love that. Personal design is the way to go - not focusing on what is trendy or adhering to random rules. So glad you mentioned about the flowers, I have been ogling them. Didn't know silk flowers could look so good!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! Love the driftwood, and I'm always using silk flowers too! Mostly because I have a tendency to kill real plants :/
ReplyDeleteJen! I absolutely love it. I like the height you have now it makes it feel more spacious and breezy!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite Ikea hack I've ever seen, and I love how you have decorated it. The flowers are perfect and I even think the driftwood looks great, and I hate driftwood as decor! You're awesome, Made By Girl!
ReplyDeleteLoving it!
ReplyDeleteOne question...where did you get those amazing bookends??!!

It looks really fantastic. I love the dark top with glossy white doors. Really fantastic! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThe cabinets look fantastic! Love the accessories, especially the little pops of pink.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic so far :) The flowers make the space feel so much more vibrant.
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask where those book ends came from too, but I was beaten to it! They're gorgeous!
Cuuute accessories! This is something I have always struggled with. Especially getting the perfect thing and making it look perfectly imperfect! :) These are really cute examples. I especially like the use of the natural elements-- flowers and driftwood. Also scull vessel is very cool!!
ReplyDeleteJust want to celebrate -- I am now your newest follower! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Nice choices! Very clean but sophisticated. I like books in decor.
ReplyDeleteYou PAID for driftwood?
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you want another piece. I'll go to the beach and get you a nice chunk! I could use the extra cash!
COLETTA: haha Yes...we dont have beaches here unfortunately. Thank you for your offer :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you styled it and more books are a great idea. The floating cabinet is a great idea for a long wall - love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing !! Love the stacked up books and in love with the skull candle !!

Looks amazing!! My favourtie piece without doubt is the skull candle holder - to die for :)
ReplyDeleteI knew you wouldn't have trouble coming up with something fabulous-looking (even if it is just a start)!
ReplyDeleteSo chic! I love it :) I think you added the perfect amount of color and the driftwood adds a little rustic touch.

I love it, but then I wish there was something tall and soaring to anchor the space in the left corner. But that is just my opinion....
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, I am coming to Vegas,can I just follow behind you for a day to absorb some of your awesomeness? :)
lovin the knobs on the cabinet. The pink gives it a nice flirty touch.
ReplyDeletewww.thescheffs.blogspot.com
Totally gorgeous amazing! I love the brass knobs! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not alone in the love-of-driftwood department. I have a huge West Elm lidded jar that displays several pieces, as well as tumbled glass I picked off the beach in Italy. I love the whole look, even though most people don't understand it! I'm also dying for your cabinet and hardware by the way. DYING I say!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great!!
ReplyDeleteOh Jen!!! So many people get stuff like this wrong, but you have NAILED it! The knobs are SO amazing, and wow! I just can't ge over what it does to the space. Your home is looking like it's ready for Elle Decor to come knocking! Hope your back is feeling better, if only slightly. Mr Tonic fell down some steps last weekend (ambulance called and everything!), but he is also slowly on the (back) mend. PS LOOOVE that skull candle. How great is that range!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, lotsa love,
