I'm so happy to see the black wall with book shelves back that perfectly frame the piano! Perfection!
I love bold wall choices!!!
I’ve made a few painting mistakes along my way as I was trying to identify my aesthetic. I painted a wall Whataburger orange, and I painted a wall black, the orange was a huge mistake, but the black was epic. We were having wall to wall, floor to ceiling book cases built in. The wall that they were going to be built in front of was pretty heavily textured, and thinking how awesome it would be to have a black background for books and accessories I painted away, and not long after a friend was visiting and asked if we had put slate on the wall, so I knew then that I had achieved exactly what I wanted to. A few months ago I watched a video on YT of a woman who had painted her bedroom black and she decorated her walls with an odd assortment of wooden picture frames. It was a really beautiful room.
I love backwards books. They are decor, just like any other kind of decor; photos, vases. There is also a need and a reason for non backwards books. Decorating is a personal thing that should reflect the person or people living there. For those who don’t understand why we have coffee table books, decorative plates, vases etc. ( they think “ what purpose do they have “) maybe just don’t appreciate beauty.
We’ve moved a lot and we’ve also accumulated a lot of books, so when we put our house up for sale, I group the books firstly by colour of the binder (take the covers off), and then stack them backwards. My husband always tells me I’m weird and that no one in the world does it! LOL little does he know. Even my realtors make fun of me but I don’t care. They look better and less messy and importantly, the person doesn’t get caught up on reading the titles. So no judgment either.
@@MimiH1959 I think that’s a great idea!
I’ve noticed that many decorators say Pallow for Pillow. Why is that?
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!❤
Rebecca I love the way the books in the music room looks. They looks like keys of the piano. Perfect! Really like the built-ins and love the symmetric on them. Love these videos!!! Have a great weekend!😊
I absolutely love your design ideas...especially the books turned, I have also incorporated that idea in my bookshelves and look divine. It's just a matter of preference. Some will love it others will not, but that's ok.
I learnt that adding a lamp to shelving is a great idea. I found a battery operated lamp (usb charged) fits nicely in a dark corner, placed on a little stack of books, voila ❤️💛💖
Excellent topic Rebecca , this is something important in every home for sure .. Loved it ~ I got a request which would be great too is what to do with the top of kitchen cabinets. what to put what not to put whats the best what do you think on that ?
Love your serene and sophisticated bookcase styling! You always do such a beautiful job ! I especially love those lamps with the coral inside.
We've watched Sharrah's (your daughter's) video and I let my daughter style the bookcase (she's a teen and great at it) and change it seasonally.
In your design style there is so much to love. I try to follow your ideas, particularly those that bring a sense of calm to my living spaces. With the outside world so crazy, we need that calm and that serenity for a home that is a sanctuary from the craziness.
Loved this! I have been working on my decor to simplify and reduce items. Like the cleaner look.
I agree with wanting a peaceful, clean, serine look to my home. Especially when it comes to shelving and built-ins. They often become busy and over stimulating for me. My favorite tip was adding a lamp to an unlighted bookshelf. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😊
Fun looking back at your previous designs. Love how you decorate your bookcases. Symmetry looks more appealing to me.
Hi Rebecca, that was so informative. Thank you
Voracious-readers household here! I do prefer my books showing and love to combine them with accessories. Lovely displays Rebecca! ❤
Thank you. I have been looking for a design for my etagere. This was comprehensive.
HI, Can you please do a "Front yard" and "Front Home Exterior Makeover?
So glad you did this video about decorating bookcases! I have a bookcase that I absolutely adore and have struggled with for years. I'll be using these tips for sure. Especially the lighting features. Keep doing you!
Awwweee thank you. I’m so glad you found this video helpful. Here’s to your efforts on styling your bookcases. I’d love to see photos of how it turns out 🙌🏻 email me at hello@kinwoven.com 👍🏻
Rebecca you are the best, been following you for years, just love your style and aesthetic.
I love you, Rebecca you give the greatest ideas and really help me. I have tons of bookcases built-in, and freestanding. The question, where did you get the lamps in the music room? They have acrylic at the bottom of the coral?? They are beautiful and I love the shape. Thank you Ladena Dubler
Thank you, Rebecca. I like seeing specifics. I just love the rectangular lamps in your music room.They're beautiful. Everything has such a clean and balanced look. I like the look of the books turned around too. I think it's a great design element.
I absolutely love your ideas..clean crisp looks and balance.thank u❤
I love that you are enjoying your new life in Tulsa. It must feel great having the Freedom to make your own decisions with what you plan and buy and do. Continued Blessings to you!
I am so happy you decided to stay in that home, the new one would be nice of course but that home is soooooo beautiful, this house has everything anyone ( with great taste ) needs, love everything, every piece, every book, every lamp, every cushion...perfection and I hope you feel happy because you have a great home.
I am with you! It made me sad for Becky, but I do live that house!!!
I get You Rebecca. ❤
I agree with the fact that books can be overwhelming and when you have so many shelves to fill why not turn books into non obtrusive art. You dont need to read the name of the book to appreciate the impact and texture that paper and variations of its tonality can give.
You do You.
I love the book display! I do that when I decorate model homes now! Thank you for all your knowledge and ideas!
Again Rebecca you show us the design principles. Of how to decorate bookcases and Build in, With style and the effect that is very peaceful in your home. This is the reason why we all love you. The books are a different shade of white Which is a Excellent idea because you will never find that many books in white. Why not lt's your home, Do what you wanna do. Again thank you so much for showing us the way in design and function. Jim
It's a starpod and I think they are found in Brazil, or somewhere in South America. I have one. They are becoming popular because I had to look high and low for one.
Love the simplistic look of the bookshelves. It looks very clean and not busy. 💗
It's Jim again that was kind of big. I mean maybe it's time for a television show christmas show would be perfect. We see you on youtube all the time why not?
Your home is beautiful & lighting is something I am on the hunt for & I want to make some changes over the summer. Thank you! You home is beautiful & unique!
I love your style, and it’s great to see your previous work. It would be interesting to see a video(s) on the best of the best and what changed in your style as you changed ❤.
I LOVE, LOVE the lamps in the music room!!!! Where did you find them!
As always, I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. LIGHTING!!! It's key to adding beauty and elegance. Speaking of elegance, I really like your "casual" elegance ...
Rebecca, I’ve been watching you on UA-cam for years now. I positively love your design style. I am a perfectionist with OCD and relate well to your style. I’m not a member of the Design Sessions, but I’ve been considering taking advantage for more than a year. Best wishes for continued success in all that you do. God has richly blessed you!
Not worth the monthly fees
Haters gonna Hate. We love you Rebecca that's all that matters. After so many chances I just block them
You are so clever and knowledgable!! Thank you for sharing with us!!! Hope you are recovering from the storm!!
Hi Rebecca this was a very interesting video. Thanks for all the updates
I have a lot of books and divide them by type. I prefer to see white pages so I turn them backward except 2 or 3 of them, i.e. the books I am currently reading
Silly me! 🤣 I thought you turned the books around to kinda mimic the piano keys.
every time you tell Alexa to do something, my Alexa comes on. we must have the same voice print..
Lighting is what really makes the shelves stand out. You covered the added electrical plug for the lamps but didn’t talk much about how you added lighting under your shelves. The glass shelves in the bedroom were all lit up. Beautiful!!
Beautiful simple elegant bookshelves.
Scale of art is nice.
Not being overcrowded is restful to the eye.
Following your concept has greatly elevated the cabinets and bookcases in my home.
My house is super eclectic and learning how to create balance has helped to it from being busy. Eapecally the turned books! Every time I learn something new from you and integrate it my theme park of a hone becomes more serene and allows guests in my home to notice and love the things I have displayed so much better.
Okay, here I go again! Lighting in the bookcases is a great idea. Design updates are coming up for a millionth time, thanks to our fabulous designer, Rebecca.❤❤❤
Those wall unit decor are fabulous. I am planning to have one in my music room but I need help in designing a big wall unit.
You are amazing. Everything looks like a million dollars. Thank you for all your advise and taking the time to share your home and other projects with us. Stay safe.
Got me thinking about how to curate my trinkets a bit more. I love displaying things but looking at the two styles of shelves I do find the more minimalist look actually feels better ❤
Thank you, Rebecca! It's really difficult to accessorize bookshelves combining books and other objects of interest. Why don't you put a flat upside down puck light (remote controlled) inside the clear hurricane candle holders? The shelves are made out of glass so the light should illuminate everything from the top down.
Great idea!! I've done it on mine.
This is perfect! We bought a huge display wall for our tv and decor items and finished building it today this video couldnt have come at a better time!
When you yelled at ALEXA, my ALEXA said, "sure, what would you like me to turn off?" 😂 after 2 plus years, I am now a DESIGN SESSIONS member! Love all of your content. 🙏🏼💖Stay safe out in OK, the sun is finally out in Oceanside, CA! 🌞🌊
I love everything you do!! Thanks for all the ideas. Your shelves are beautiful!!
as always you answered my questions, and it was PERFECT!. Thank You. Have a great day.
I like symmetry, but I think the items should be mixed up and not be in the identical place on both sides. Plus odd number of items look better grouped together.
Thoroughly enjoyed and learned. I agree about the lighting in book cases and shelves and color, textures that match. You are amazing and always teach and give fabulous and great ideas.
I am all about lighting in my bookshelves. When I moved to a new home the electrician called me crazy, but I love love lighted bookshelves! Don't mind being called crazy!
Good Lord! I don't know how you do it! I've been with you for 15 years, and am never disappointed. Please do a beautiful decorating book, or a Christmas book, or better yet do both!! There are no books that would beat yours.
I love how your style has evolved over the years. Every time you say "Alexa" all our Alexa's light up. LOL. PS I love the look of the backwards books.
Thank you for all the great info. Very useful for a regular person to follow
Wonderful woman with beautiful Ideas
I always learn a lot out of your videos Becky, I just love everything in your house wow
Got great ideas for my built-in shelves!! I needed this video!!! Thank you!
That was more than fun!!! Always awesome learning from you and will always do!!! Thank you.
I absolutely love those lamps ❤❤❤
I ❤ the idea of less is more on the shelves too...
I always learn something new from your videos. Look forward to them.
I would love the crane lamp - so fabulous 🩷💚
In my bookshelf/display cases, among the objects I display, the books are carefully edited to a specific color palette. No red, purple,orange that won’t keep the shelves calming and earthy. Those books are kept in a closed cabinet. Sometimes, I have to remove the dust jacket to coordinate. I do get it with the books turned around- it’s a graphic display using books. I can see that!
I think turning the books around is brilliant. It calms the eye. Thank you. Love your videos even though I rarely watch them beginning to end...no time to, that's all. Keep going Rebecca.
Love the colors you chose in your home, I took some ideas from your built- ins , we bought a home in Florence Arizona and it has built-ins, so I`ve been buying different colors of pots and plants , its a one story house but its big. Today went to Michaels`s and got two pots for half off. So enjoying the journey of decorating. Thank you for the ideas you shared.
Love the lamps in the bookcase
Thanks for sharing how you added lamps to your built-ins.
Always learning something new from you Rebecca! Loved it!
Absolutely wonderful advice. I just remodeled my powder room and wanted to have an elegant vibe. Any ideas what to do or put on the wall behind the toilet?
Loved every job you did, specially love those acrylic lamps! 😍👍🏼💯
@user-je8we3zs4s 100%, woohoo! 😀👍🏼👌❤💯
Your home is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ❤❤❤
Thank you! Very beautiful
Rebecca, got an idea on hiding the electrical plugs. For the lamps, add a trim on the front of the shelves. Voila, electrical plugs no longer stood out.
When you said "Alexia" turn off Music Room, my Alexia said sorry I didn't find a device named music room! Tee hee! 😂
Also Rebecca ... I like your books arranged that way for the serenity and maybe people don't need to know what kind of books you like to read...for me it's all about the serenity! And less is more which I'm trying to change in my decor.
Love the symmetry of the bookcases and the books turned around so I don’t have to read the labels. Great idea❤ Love your style and all your videos CLASSY LADY😎
I personally really dislike it when people cover books in plain paper. or turning the spines around if you don't read them why bother to have them in your décor? It seems very shallow to me and a cheap unattractive filler. Where is the personality of the homeowner, I love a lot of what you do but there is little personality in the accessories, sterile and a bit boring. I love the look of an old English library, rich wood tones, leather bound books, classic, cozy and timeless. More color nothing crazy but not sterile communist stark looks either. A real home should reflect and reveal the homeowners personality, not look like a sterile hotel lobby. Just my opinion.
Love your video all you do is beautiful ❤
Thank you
Great advice
You are so amazing. I love the way you decorated your built-ins and shelving units. They are so cohesive and calming on the eyes. I love that you turn your books backward because I like the black lines surrounding the variations of white pages. Thank you so much for sharing this information with so many. I will definitely be able to use this information in my new home because I now have built-ins and a very tall cabinet, which I will have to decorate that I didn't have my my previous home. You are truly good at what you do. God bless you.
Appreciate your sharing some of your evolution over the years re: this topic!
( Would like to see more re: other topics also!😮)
A great video. . . love your videos
Absolutely amazing
Wow! Attention to detail is so important and it makes all the difference in the world. You are so talented and creative. Love you Rebecca ❤
I love BOOKS, I have many bookcases and display all the books that I love and interest me.
I usually save one shelf for knick-knack decor items that I love.
I feel that it is a waste of space to sparsely decorate a bookcase with benign items that have no sentimentality.
Everyone has opinions and that’s great. But truly be kind and respectful different stroke’s for different folks. ❤
Love your accessorizing and the way you turn your books.
Thank you for sharing. You gave me ideas
The Desert Rose with Greysons art piece! One of my favourite projects!!!
I would love to see the different ways that you light up bookcases and built-ins after they're built. I've seen you light up so many of them, but I don't know what you're using. Thanks, Paula
Love it as always ❤
1-thank you! This is so helpful. The where. The how. And the WHY!
2-another designer, I think it was Thom Filicia, said the reason he turned books around on his show was that he did not have ‘clearance’ or whatever they needed to show trademarked or copyrighted products on their TV show
3-please, please, please show various styling options for bar carts that are NOT being used as bar carts.
They are mobile, available at all price points, great size for homes and apartments, and - with your styling magic - useful indoors and outdoors (pool toys and towels). I see them in high-end retailers, in consignment shops, and mass merchandisers. There have got to be ways to use them in home offices, craft & sewing rooms, garages, laundry rooms, possibly in a bedroom that’s temporarily pressed into service for guests, bathrooms, etc., etc., etc.,
If anyone can break down how, exactly how, to make this work AND look good, it’s Rebecca!
Rebecca. I’m sure this was filmed before Saturday night. I’ve been thinking about you. Did you have a generator? I just keep thinking about all your beautiful mature trees, and praying they are alright. We live East of you, about 30 miles away. I pray you are alright. 🙏🏻
Rebecca, Love each and every Video. Your black bold wall with the gold book cases with glass shelves. The decor is even but not alike. It's Eye Candy. Thank You for sharing with us ❣️Nancy
I need help with a built in wine rack in my den. I don’t drink enough wine to fill it (there is currently 1 bottle in one of the 10 cubbies). We have a couple of cigar boxes and a couple autographed golf balls. I hate this thing! HELP PLEASE!
Thanks for sharing your ideas and decorating insights. I’m painting a wall black and installing twin gold etageres. I would not have decorated them with symmetry without your advice.
You are soooo talented! I’m very picky, you check all the boxes, balance, beauty and elegance. Thank you so much, you give me so much inspiration.
