Clicking on this video, I was worried it was too out of my price range. Cant even express my joy when most things were thrifted!!😍 going to the thrift stores tomorrow!
Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.
I have this exact built in shelf in my foyer, same trim and size . And what's funny is I wanted to do mine all in black and white. lol I do have coffee books too but mine are about the Royals or great American homes and castles. Thanks for showing how I can incorporate it into my space. Yours looks lovely.
Exactly!!! He’s everything and not to bad in the eyes😍 Lol He’s adorable and I’m sure everyone tells him so, I wish him success in whatever comes his way....
I appreciate the love, Judith! I’m so happy that the colorful arrangement is being so well received. Every now and again I like to surprise myself with a color pop ☺️
Thank you my friend! That’s so sweet of you to say. I do love coffee table books and have a semi-unhealthy obsession with how many I’ve acquired over the years 😆😅
Thank you, Mercedes! I love to incorporate just a touch of glam into my displays, there is something traditional and elegant about the glimmer of crystal and glass ✨
This is the video I have been looking for! Your best tip is arranging the objects BEFORE deciding how the books are arranged. This will help me tremendously.
Really loving the 2nd one. Reminds me of mine.😉I collect white milk glass too & was blown away w some of the pieces I've found. They def don't look like typical mg, especially my art deco pieces. Since my bookcases are white & most of my items are too, I used this gorgeous black fabric w lg white geometric design to cover the back. I just cut to size, used some spray fabric starch & applied. It really makes my mg, clear glass & silver pieces pop!
Such an incredible idea! I love milk glass too, I see a ton of it when I’m out thrifting and it’s so beautiful 🤩 very nostalgic for me as my grandmother used to have quite a bit throughout here home as well. I’m happy to see it making a come back! Also, glad you enjoyed my stylistic approach in this video 🤍
Thank you so much! I really tried to create three completely different vignettes to showcase a bit of versatility. The picture hanging in my dining room was actually a HomeGoods/HomeSense find from earlier in the year!
Enjoyed this very much. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see other people have a good stash of fashion and design coffee table books. I have found great coffee table books at thrift stores in LA.
I am on the lookout, Susan! I always keep my eyes peeled while thrifting but have yet to score any beautiful books in my outings. Fingers crossed my luck changes in that department soon 🙏🏼✨ happy to hear you’ve amassed a collection - it gives me hope!
Hi Beau. Wowser!! They were all great. But, the last one with the color would uplift my mood right now. I'm glad you explained why you did each arrangement. Honorable mention to the sweater, I'm glad its sweater season.❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you my friend! Me (and my sweater) appreciate the love ❤️ I wanted to show how versatile this space could be and I have so many books and decor accents that I thought it would be fun to show each look and how they could transcend and work within not only my decor style but the homes and spaces of those watching.
I love the whimsy the monkey brings to the shelves! I also really did learn quite a bit about styling bookshelves, something I've never been very good at. Choose which decor goes where first, then add the books...GENIUS!
Thank you, Kathy! It’s such a simple concept but it really helps me plan out the overall composition. Styling shelves can be intimidating when too many variables are introduced all at once so I like to plan it out and then execute 🤗 so glad you enjoyed these tips and tricks!
Thank you, Joanne! I am really happy to hear you appreciated these details. So many accents can add up when bought new from stores like HomeGoods (even though they are considered more affordable). I always like to remind viewers that spray paint can be an effective tool to upcycle and make a piece that may not be in the color you enjoy work into your color scheme 🤗
This was super helpful and I'm sure I'll be referring back to it. I have the hardest time with shelves and tabletops. I need some new pieces as my taste is changing once again!
Hi Cecille! I’m so glad I could shed some light on my process and inspire you with this video 😁 it definitely takes me some time myself to play with the decor items and get them to feel “just right” but I found that arranging the decorative accessories before books, etc. was helpful as well as sticking to various themes. Happy styling!
Thank you, Jacqui! That was my thoughts behind the colorful arrangement, too - perfect for spring but still fits within the confines of my decor aesthetic 🤗 I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my video and this home decor journey thus far!
Oh my goodness, your so talented , and I love EVERYTHING, and I honestly don’t know which style of bookcase to say is my favorite. Your channel has kept me very busy, I have been binging your videos. A brand new Home Goods just opened 2 minutes from my home, it will be hard not to just stop in to see what’s new😀 Happy , Healthy New Year 🎉🎊🎉🎊
Thank you, Christine! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos and my content. This is such a huge compliment and I am so appreciative of your kind words. A new HomeGoods?! Count me in 🙋🏻♂️ that sounds like a fun time waiting to be had...and knowing me, it would be too hard to stay away with that short of a commute! A very happy and healthy New Year to you, my friend 🥳
I loved all of them because you can use them for different seasons. As usual your decor is detail oriented and tastefully done. I sooo look forward to your videos. Great wait EXCELLENT job!!!❤❤❤
Beau, I'm so glad you had a wonderful visit with your Aunt and Uncle...although I was secretly hoping you were going to be participating in Vlogmas. I would love to see more of your day-to-day life. This video couldn't have come at a better time, I'm going to be styling my built-ins very soon and this will help immensely {I may be texting you when I get around to styling them to get your opinion}. Your DIY video is how I found you on YT and I am so glad I did. The vase Liz gave you is so nice, I love her style. You seriously need to do a series that helps viewers with their décor dilemmas. And if you do, I want to be one of those you help. :) ❤❤❤ Holy Moly, you nailed the multicolor look! Is there anything you can't style? BTW, your fair isle sweater looks so good on you.
It was a fantastic time, but reality has quickly set in yet again and I’m frenzied preparing for the holiday 😆 I have yet to really embark on vlog styled videos - I think once we turn a new leaf with covid, I would definitely entertain more of those tag-along styled videos when my day to day life becomes exciting once again! I love that you found me through that DIY, it was such a fun video for me to create at the time. My 2nd upload 😝 and that is a great idea for a series, Sherri - you can absolutely call on me anytime you need a home decor opinion! Thank you for all of the love and encouragement you’ve given me along this venture.
I really appreciate your comment, my friend! My goal was to provide inspiration in a variety of styles, arrangements, and compositions so I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed this video ☺️
@@beaualexander7000 That is really a brilliant way of presenting in 3 different ways showcasing arrays of your finest items even going to the history of each items to be on a display. Love it and thank you for welcoming me here I am really enjoying watching you😘
Hi Beau 🤍 I really enjoyed watching these three different styles for these shelves! All of these pieces are so beautiful thank you so much for sharing and for the inspiration 🙌🏽 talk to you next week my friend!
Happy Saturday to you, Casey! My sweet friend 😍 thank you so much for the love. I am so happy you liked these looks that I assembled. Tried to be inclusive and provide a little something for everyone. I hope you have an incredible weekend!
New subbie here! Binge watching your videos and I absolutely love you already! So pleasant and incredibly talented! I’m looking forward to seeing more!
Hi Beau. So good ! I am glad that you mentioned Goodwill as a resource. There are treasures waiting there, and though I wish more people were open to shopping there, I also appreciate keeping my treasure shopping competition to a minimum. Haha. I have used your past video where you spray painted some vessels matte black as inspiration, and so far have amassed quite a collection. I also have the paint, and now I just need to DO IT, but every time I intend to, it seems to rain outside. Well, the intention is there, and it will get done. I have the weekend off, and you guessed it, I will be searching for some great thrifted pieces. As always, keep the inspiration coming, and Be Well.
Hello my friend! Nice to have the weekend off I’m sure - it’s been wild out there lately 😆 I really enjoy a Goodwill trip especially when I don’t walk away empty handed! I know it may be intimidating and looked down upon, but I have scored incredible finds and not one broke the bank. So glad to hear you’re gearing up for your project - I too, have that dilemma with the rain! I try to paint outside in the open air and the humidity always kills the vibe. Happy thrifting ❤️
Wow! You executed these looks flawlessly! I loved all three but I'm most intrigued by the look with color. It's so beautiful and eye catching. You have quite the collection of décor and you know exactly how to style it. I wish I had an ounce of that talent! LOL!
No surprise that you have done it again with another great video! Bookcases can be tricky and you have shown great options! Hope more of your content is coming soon, you always stir my creativity❣
Thank you, my friend! I agree, they can be intimidating as a blank slate. But with a little vision, a few decor accents, and patience for execution - anyone can do it 🙌🏼 I’m so happy to hear videos like this get the creativity flowing!
Thank you my sweet friend! I’m glad you enjoyed this video 🙌🏼 Look 2 was my personal favorite as well, I love the subtle glam of crystal and silver with a black/white combo. I appreciate you watching!
Late to the party today Beau... Christmas. Decorating as always all day...love all the different styles to decorate shelves..loved second and third one best..you designed shelves perfectly and effortlessly as always.Always learn something from your videos..thank you my friend..have a great weekend Beau
You still made it Gail, and I am so thankful! I know how it is with the holidays quickly approaching...this time of year always creeps up ❄️ thank you so much for your beautiful compliment, I really appreciate your kindness always! Have a fantastic weekend yourself 🙌🏼
Thank you, Vera! I was hoping to give a little something for everyone to enjoy ☺️ I’m glad you liked the arrangements I created. As always, I appreciate your kindness my friend!
Thank you my friend! I was hoping you would enjoy the neutral colored items in the first look. I’m obsessed with what you’ve been creating lately in your space - absolutely stunning 😍
@@ChristineHoltTV something I whipped up this past summer! Though, I was inspired by something I saw floating around online - I just recreated it on my own 🤍
Thank you, my sweet friend! You know me - I love me some black and white but I thought it would be fun to showcase my versatility and provide a look that could (fingers crossed 🤞🏼) hopefully resonate with anyone watching. Such a steal on the Mikasa bowl...only $12?! I couldn’t believe it 😍
Beau, this was fun! It's like putting a beautiful puzzle together. Well done my friend. My favorite were the 2nd & 3rd. I like the first as well but I'm 'beiged out' from all the beige & pampas grass videos I watched. 😅
I hear that, my friend! My goal was to show versatility so I wanted to give everyone an option they could potentially resonate with. I’m glad you enjoyed this video, it was fun to be able to show my stylistic ability. A bit of a digression, but still true to my informative/teaching ways 😝
I agree, Robin! There are so many incredible pieces worth sourcing secondhand and many just need a bit of an up-cycle to fit our own decor aesthetic and style. Thank you for the comment, my friend. I appreciate it!
Thank you, my friend! I’m happy to hear that ☺️ I know that crystal may get a bad rap, but I think it’s so classy and a timeless staple that can elevate any display with ease!
Beau, loved all three bookshelf revamps! I have for many years shied away from bookshelves. You have given me encouragement to at least help arrange my granddaughter's shelves. I enjoy your impeccably beautiful and highly sophisticated taste (s). You have talent galore!
What a beautiful comment, Edna! I’m so happy to hear that this video has inspired you to take the leap 🙌🏼 I know it can be quite intimidating to see an empty bookshelf, but with a few decor accents and books, a vision, and patience I have full confidence that you will work some magic in your granddaughter’s shelves! Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Ahhh I just found your channel, and I am OBSESSED! I love that you showed a few different ideas on how to style a shelf. This video was so inspiring and informative!
Thank you, Lauryn! That was really my goal here - to provide an opportunity for everyone to resonate with at least some part of each look ☺️ I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed this video, it was one I am all to happy to have shared. I appreciate your comment!
Yasssss, Angela! I love to hear it 🙌🏼 I am so glad you liked this video, I have yet to really showcase any actual styling how-to’s so I thought this would be fun and show versatility in design!
Thank you, Nancy! I definitely enjoy a little pop of color from time to time and I thought I would try to show how to incorporate pastel shades in an elevated way. Also, to your point - YES! I absolutely love nothing more than to flip through and read a coffee table book’s glossy pages 🤩
Very kind of you to say, Zon! It really is so inspiring to me to know that other creative individuals like yourself can seek inspiration in the videos I put forth each week. I love this community we’ve fostered here 🙏🏼 thank you for watching!
I love what you did with your shelves! You really do such a nice job with balance and incorporate such interesting pieces. So often I see shelves that appear crowded and almost "heavy", like the shelf is about to crash in on itself. You have this great sense of using that negative space, so that my eye can enjoy each item, and not get stuck staring at something that doesn't fit in or conform. You also do a great job with "lines". There's vertical and horizontal, and then an interesting shape either with a monkey, or bust or flower. I also enjoy how you keep your colors simple. The black is grounding everything when it needs to and the white really brightens everyting. Good job!!!!! I took a screen shot to study for my next shelf project!
I love this analysis, Christine! I’m no professional, but I definitely try to keep scale, dimension, white (negative) space, and composition in mind when I vignette a space. It can take me hours to get it “just right” and even then, it’s more an intuitive feeling that lets me know I’m done ✔️ so glad you enjoyed these three looks! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos and share such kind feedback. You are awesome ☺️
Happy Saturday, Priscilla ❤️ I’m happy you liked my first real “styling” video. I have put many things together on this channel, but never really showed my creative process - this was a first for me and I’m happy to see that it was appreciated!
I have two shelves side by side and not only tons of books - but also tons of colored books. I'm not able to make mine quite as beautiful and polished as these examples, but seeing your thought process helped SOOOO much and really inspired me. Thank you!!! 🥰
Thank you so much, Kathleen! I am glad you were partial to look 2 as it was what really resonated with me and my personal decor aesthetic ☺️ a very happy holiday season to you, too!
I love bookshelves and I think every home should have at least one in their home❣️ All three styles were gorgeous❗️I’m not for too much color in my decor but the last styling was really refreshing. 😌🌸
I agree, my friend! It was a huge selling point for me when I saw this apartment for the first time. I knew I would work wonders in the space with my collection of home decor and books ☺️ I too, am not one for too much color - so I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the subtlety of the multicolored look!
Thank you so much, Tess! I really appreciate your compliment more than you know. I too, loved the 2nd arrangement most as it’s more of my personal decor aesthetic. I hope you have an incredible weekend, my friend 🤍
Your BEST video!! Styling shelves is so difficult for most people. This 3 part tutorial was so good because you gave us options and guidelines for balance, interest and movement. Love the zig zag concept, the importance of books, vertically and as risers, contrast, and matte vs the sparkle of glass and crystal. I also love the idea of giving your shelves a fresh new look, at no cost, by circulating your decor. Thank you!!❤️
Thank you, Bonnie! It really can be mentally taxing, I myself get intimidated at times - but I have to remind others (and myself) that the goal is to have fun. There are rules worthy considering, yes - but at the end of the day, it’s what we create in our own spaces that we have to live with and love. So if it feels right, I say do it 🙌🏼 I just like to share my process in hopes of inspiring others or giving viewers that alternative perspective that may have previously gone unnoticed. I hope you have an incredible weekend, my friend 🤍
I’m glad you liked it, Cynthia! I think we can all use a little refresh every now and again and my goal was to show viewers that it doesn’t have to be an expensive or daunting task - all you need is a vision, a few different accents and accessories, and the patience to execute! 🤍
Thank you, Louise! I am so happy to hear you enjoyed seeing the different variations. I think the multicolored look would be perfect as we enter spring 🤗
Love this video. Thanks for explaining your thought process.
Anytime, my friend! I am so glad to hear you found this video helpful ☺️
All options were amazing! Great job Beau. Bravo!
Clicking on this video, I was worried it was too out of my price range. Cant even express my joy when most things were thrifted!!😍 going to the thrift stores tomorrow!
Great sense of styling, I enjoy all of your possibilities.
Thank you so much, Debra! I really appreciate your kindness 😊
Those books! Amazing collection....and those accents. You are such a natural!
Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do.

Thank you my friend! That’s so sweet of you to say. I do love coffee table books and have a semi-unhealthy obsession with how many I’ve acquired over the years 😆😅

What a relaxing way to spend a Saturday, or any day of the week. And taking a new look at items you have at home.
Definitely! It was the best way to spend time revamping my space a few weekends back, Tammy! Also getting some of my decor accessories organized 😆
I love all your hauls,but I'm always looking in the back at your livingroom,it looks so gorgeous,can you do a home tour.
As always you did an amazing job I love number two that was my favorite all of them was great but number two is my favorite
Thank you, Sandra! Look 2 was my favorite, too. It’s most similar to my true design aesthetic and what I ultimately ended up keeping in this space ☺️

Thank you, my friend! Every now and again I like to experiment with color so I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed this subtle look ❤️
No surprise that you have done it again with another great video! Bookcases can be tricky and you have shown great options! Hope more of your content is coming soon, you always stir my creativity❣
Thank you, my friend! I agree, they can be intimidating as a blank slate. But with a little vision, a few decor accents, and patience for execution - anyone can do it 🙌🏼 I’m so happy to hear videos like this get the creativity flowing!
some many good finds! love how you styled this!
Awe thank you, Lauren! I really had fun revamping this space in my apartment. I’m so glad you enjoyed these looks, too 🙌🏼
You are an amazing decor stylist. I truly enjoy watching your videos. More please.
Thank you for such a beautiful compliment, Jackee! I can assure you there is more to come, enjoy your weekend my friend 🤍
Amazing Shelf styling tips Beau! My favorite is Look #2! ❤️🔥
Thank you my sweet friend! I’m glad you enjoyed this video 🙌🏼 Look 2 was my personal favorite as well, I love the subtle glam of crystal and silver with a black/white combo. I appreciate you watching!
I just came across your channel and your a breath of fresh air,especially watching a mans point of view on how you decorate love your show
I’m so glad you enjoyed this video and my channel, Liz! Happy to hear that you’ve found me and thrilled to have you here for the journey 🤗
Very inspiring ... Love the video and all the ideas
I’m so happy to hear this, my friend! Thank you for watching and supporting my channel 🙏🏼✨
Late to the party today Beau... Christmas. Decorating as always all day...love all the different styles to decorate shelves..loved second and third one best..you designed shelves perfectly and effortlessly as always.Always learn something from your videos..thank you my friend..have a great weekend Beau
You still made it Gail, and I am so thankful! I know how it is with the holidays quickly approaching...this time of year always creeps up ❄️ thank you so much for your beautiful compliment, I really appreciate your kindness always! Have a fantastic weekend yourself 🙌🏼
I love the three styles. My pick no. 3 Good job beau.
I’m happy you loved the multicolored design, Prudence! 😊 thank you so much for your beautiful compliment
You have the best coffee table book collection! It’s extremely satisfying watching you design these shelves.
Oh thank you, Angie! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them 😊 coffee table books are definitely something I enjoy collecting
Wow, I love all the variety you gave us on that stunning built-in. Thank you for all the ideas and tips per usual. 🤗
Thank you, Vera! I was hoping to give a little something for everyone to enjoy ☺️ I’m glad you liked the arrangements I created. As always, I appreciate your kindness my friend!
I love built-ins and you definitely do it justice with your styling! That neutral female sculpture is gorgeous, what a find!
Thank you my friend! I was hoping you would enjoy the neutral colored items in the first look. I’m obsessed with what you’ve been creating lately in your space - absolutely stunning 😍
WAIT Beau, that little canvas is your own work? I love it!!! You should make prints!
@@ChristineHoltTV something I whipped up this past summer! Though, I was inspired by something I saw floating around online - I just recreated it on my own 🤍
@@beaualexander7000 That means the world coming from you! Thank you!
I absolutely love all 3 looks and that crystal bowl is such a beauty 🤩
Thank you, my sweet friend! You know me - I love me some black and white but I thought it would be fun to showcase my versatility and provide a look that could (fingers crossed 🤞🏼) hopefully resonate with anyone watching. Such a steal on the Mikasa bowl...only $12?! I couldn’t believe it 😍
Beautiful arrangements, hard to choose a favorite. You have the magic touch!
Awe, thank you so much Victoria! I appreciate your compliment more than you know ☺️🙌🏼
Beau, this was fun! It's like putting a beautiful puzzle together. Well done my friend. My favorite were the 2nd & 3rd. I like the first as well but I'm 'beiged out' from all the beige & pampas grass videos I watched. 😅
I hear that, my friend! My goal was to show versatility so I wanted to give everyone an option they could potentially resonate with. I’m glad you enjoyed this video, it was fun to be able to show my stylistic ability. A bit of a digression, but still true to my informative/teaching ways 😝
@@beaualexander7000 Absolutely & you did a great job! It was definitely inclusive and fun!
Love this topic! I love all your accessories! Also, its fabulous to find treasures at good will.
I agree, Robin! There are so many incredible pieces worth sourcing secondhand and many just need a bit of an up-cycle to fit our own decor aesthetic and style. Thank you for the comment, my friend. I appreciate it!
Even though I liked each look the second look was my favorite! Looking forward to the next video!
Thank you, April! Mine too, that’s what I ended up keeping ☺️ I’m so glad you enjoyed the variety
Beautiful options. You gave me some great ideas my similar built in bookcase. I love your use of crystal.
Thank you, my friend! I’m happy to hear that ☺️ I know that crystal may get a bad rap, but I think it’s so classy and a timeless staple that can elevate any display with ease!
So many great ideas for decorating our shelves! Thank you for sharing!
Awe, thank you Diane! Anytime 🙏🏼✨ I’m so happy you enjoyed this video!
I came across your channel today and fell absolutely in love with your style, calmness and attention to details. keep the good work going.
Thank you so much, Yolande! This is such a beautiful compliment and I appreciate your kindness 🙏🏼
Love, love, love all of them..!! You have an amazing talent, Beau!!!
Beau, loved all three bookshelf revamps! I have for many years shied away from bookshelves. You have given me encouragement to at least help arrange my granddaughter's shelves. I enjoy your impeccably beautiful and highly sophisticated taste (s). You have talent galore!
What a beautiful comment, Edna! I’m so happy to hear that this video has inspired you to take the leap 🙌🏼 I know it can be quite intimidating to see an empty bookshelf, but with a few decor accents and books, a vision, and patience I have full confidence that you will work some magic in your granddaughter’s shelves! Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Of course style #2 is my fave, and I believe Your’s too 😀
You know it! I love neutrals and color, but my heart resonates with black and white 🙌🏼
I love the 2nd look better. Excellent job.
Definitely my favorite that I created, too, Annette! 🙌🏼✨
Ahhh I just found your channel, and I am OBSESSED! I love that you showed a few different ideas on how to style a shelf. This video was so inspiring and informative!
Thank you, Lauryn! That was really my goal here - to provide an opportunity for everyone to resonate with at least some part of each look ☺️ I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed this video, it was one I am all to happy to have shared. I appreciate your comment!
@@beaualexander7000 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for showing us how to style the bookshelf’s loved them all . Thanks again for sharing
Anytime, Dee! I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed this video - it’s a digression from what I usually put forth, but I had so much fun with it 🙌🏼
Hey Beau, I have 3 book shelves that I am going to arrange using your techniques tomorrow. Thank you for the style tips !!
I’m glad to hear this video was helpful, Alvin! Good luck on your revamp my friend 🙏🏼✨
You smashed it Beau in this video like I smashed the Like button ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yasssss, Angela! I love to hear it 🙌🏼 I am so glad you liked this video, I have yet to really showcase any actual styling how-to’s so I thought this would be fun and show versatility in design!
You are awesome! Love how you lead us through the steps and terminology for styling. Just subscribed!
Ooooh… you’re good! And You are such a breath of fresh air!
Love the colorful vignette. Also love more that you say you actually read the books unlike some other decor vloggers.😊 Bravo!
Thank you, Nancy! I definitely enjoy a little pop of color from time to time and I thought I would try to show how to incorporate pastel shades in an elevated way. Also, to your point - YES! I absolutely love nothing more than to flip through and read a coffee table book’s glossy pages 🤩
Everything looks so beautiful, i love books so is my favorite . Beautiful
U did it again sweet friend ! What a beautiful view! All three ideas were just perfect❤ Tbh I liked just a tad the second one a little but more😊
TFS❤
I’m glad to hear it, Andry! That’s what I ultimately decided to keep in my space ☺️ thank you for watching my friend. I appreciate you!
Perfect combinations Beau.
An amazing welcome treat to everyone who comes to your home.
I can now start with my own. Thank you.
Very kind of you to say, Zon! It really is so inspiring to me to know that other creative individuals like yourself can seek inspiration in the videos I put forth each week. I love this community we’ve fostered here 🙏🏼 thank you for watching!
Loved them all, you have great taste!
I appreciate the compliment, Barb! Thank you so much for the comment - I really had too much fun arranging these looks 😊
Woooow all are so beautiful. Your touches are elegant
I appreciate your compliment, Khadija! I really had such a fun time assembling these looks. I’m glad you enjoyed them ☺️
I love what you did with your shelves! You really do such a nice job with balance and incorporate such interesting pieces. So often I see shelves that appear crowded and almost "heavy", like the shelf is about to crash in on itself. You have this great sense of using that negative space, so that my eye can enjoy each item, and not get stuck staring at something that doesn't fit in or conform. You also do a great job with "lines". There's vertical and horizontal, and then an interesting shape either with a monkey, or bust or flower. I also enjoy how you keep your colors simple. The black is grounding everything when it needs to and the white really brightens everyting. Good job!!!!! I took a screen shot to study for my next shelf project!
I love this analysis, Christine! I’m no professional, but I definitely try to keep scale, dimension, white (negative) space, and composition in mind when I vignette a space. It can take me hours to get it “just right” and even then, it’s more an intuitive feeling that lets me know I’m done ✔️ so glad you enjoyed these three looks! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos and share such kind feedback. You are awesome ☺️
Absolutely love all 3❤️. You’ve done it again & yes would love to see more videos like this🥰
Happy Saturday, Priscilla ❤️ I’m happy you liked my first real “styling” video. I have put many things together on this channel, but never really showed my creative process - this was a first for me and I’m happy to see that it was appreciated!
I have two shelves side by side and not only tons of books - but also tons of colored books. I'm not able to make mine quite as beautiful and polished as these examples, but seeing your thought process helped SOOOO much and really inspired me. Thank you!!! 🥰
Love love love your videos.......GREAT JOB!!!
I appreciate it, Cass! I really enjoyed showcasing a little bit more of my styling ability in this video. I’m glad you liked it 🤗
Thank you for look #3! While the first two are very sleek, the third looks much more conducive to a family home.
Style#2 was my Favorite 😍
That was my own personal favorite and how I’ve kept it displayed since filming this video! I’m glad you approve, Latreca 🙏🏼
Absolutely gorgeous the details! Your instructions were fantastic. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I am really glad to learn so much with you!
I am so happy to have you accompany me, Luiza! Thank you for the encouragement and your kind words my friend 🙏🏼✨
You are so talented. I agree #2 is my fave also. Stay safe and happy holidays.
Thank you so much, Kathleen! I am glad you were partial to look 2 as it was what really resonated with me and my personal decor aesthetic ☺️ a very happy holiday season to you, too!
I love bookshelves and I think every home should have at least one in their home❣️ All three styles were gorgeous❗️I’m not for too much color in my decor but the last styling was really refreshing. 😌🌸
I agree, my friend! It was a huge selling point for me when I saw this apartment for the first time. I knew I would work wonders in the space with my collection of home decor and books ☺️ I too, am not one for too much color - so I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the subtlety of the multicolored look!
You never fail to AMAZE your followers. My personal fave is the 2nd arrangement. But no doubt they all looked fabulous🌹
Thank you so much, Tess! I really appreciate your compliment more than you know. I too, loved the 2nd arrangement most as it’s more of my personal decor aesthetic. I hope you have an incredible weekend, my friend 🤍
Your BEST video!! Styling shelves is so difficult for most people. This 3 part tutorial was so good because you gave us options and guidelines for balance, interest and movement. Love the zig zag concept, the importance of books, vertically and as risers, contrast, and matte vs the sparkle of glass and crystal. I also love the idea of giving your shelves a fresh new look, at no cost, by circulating your decor. Thank you!!❤️
Thank you, Bonnie! It really can be mentally taxing, I myself get intimidated at times - but I have to remind others (and myself) that the goal is to have fun. There are rules worthy considering, yes - but at the end of the day, it’s what we create in our own spaces that we have to live with and love. So if it feels right, I say do it 🙌🏼 I just like to share my process in hopes of inspiring others or giving viewers that alternative perspective that may have previously gone unnoticed. I hope you have an incredible weekend, my friend 🤍
I love the whole aesthetic of the video, just everything
I like color so the last styling is for me! Great job
OMG the white circular woman statue is stunning! Great tips! Great decor.
Thank you my friend! A beautiful Facebook Marketplace find 🙌🏼
I love all different your make Thanks you for demonstration
Thank you for the compliment, my friend! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video and my varying designs 😁
This video was so relaxing and a vibe thank you so much
I’m glad you liked it, Cynthia! I think we can all use a little refresh every now and again and my goal was to show viewers that it doesn’t have to be an expensive or daunting task - all you need is a vision, a few different accents and accessories, and the patience to execute! 🤍
I agree totally what you said but you add a special Pizzazz to it you have a great eye for 🎭 art
@@cynthiawilson6981 well I appreciate that compliment, my friend! Thank you so much 😊
Hola me gusta muncho pero me quedó con 1 2 3 por qué es mi estilo👏👏👏👍🤗

Thank you my sweet friend! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed all three looks ☺️🙏🏼✨
I love the last style it nice to add colour
Love all the styles. So elegant. Must say the coloured example is so pretty
