Greetings!
I am a firm believer that your house should speak about you. It should be a place that is not just pretty to look at but warms your soul. A house should be a home, a place you laugh, love, cry and create wonderful memories. I want to touch on warming up spaces, which means having a combination of functional parts and pretty parts. By adding different layers to windows you will have added depth and dimension, plus offer energy efficiency and privacy. There is truly nothing like a well styled bookcase filled with books, accessories, collectibles, and photos that add warmth and interest. |

Window Treatments  There are many different styles and designs for window treatments, but adding numerous layers truly makes a huge impact in a room. Imagine your window as a piece of artwork. Each piece of art needs a different mat and frame and the same is true for windows. Some may need privacy and others may need softening. Some may need both. There are different degrees of privacy that you may want to achieve from your window treatments. You may still desire some light, so a light filtering shade may be the solution in a kitchen or living room, but a shade that completely blocks the light is better for a bathroom or bedroom. Once you have a window treatment that addresses the light and privacy factor, you may want to "layer window treatments" which means having a combination of functional parts and pretty parts. How about a woven wood blind for privacy, side panels and valance that will help warm up your home. |

Bookcases  The key to the overall look of a bookcase is knowing how to pull the accessories together to create an aesthetically pleasing result, yet not add too much so it looks cluttered and not add too little so it appears bare. Even if you have a lot of books, alternate their position between lying horizontal and vertical, then add accessories throughout the bookcase. Think about painting the bookcase back which allows the books and accessories to be seen.
- Layer - Add elements to the back of the bookcase and continue it to the bookcase frame.
- Add Varying Heights - Incorporate elements with varying heights. Display smaller accessories in front and graduate to taller and larger pieces behind.
- Mix it up - Display a mixture of books, accessories, collectibles, DIY creations, and photos
- Books Become Art - Books are beautiful. From their color to their typography, books are truly art, so let them tell a story. Display them horizontally and vertically, by color, or by subject.
