Summer Bellessa Instagram – I shouldn’t be posting this yet, BUT with work on the house moving at a snail pace, I’ve gotta take my wins. At the beginning of the year I bought these Billie bookcases from @ikeausa with the extenders. We talked about all the different ways we could do the DIY built in bookshelves. (I also priced out having the built in made without the premade bookshelves, and it would’ve been about 5x more expensive.) We decided to put them on a base, and use wood to keep them in place, then I just painted them to match the walls. Styling is my favorite part, and it’s just the beginning, but I grabbed pieces I had thrifted, art from @miriamtribe and other artists and special pieces bought from local sellers like @mother.daughtermercantile (the brass dove and marble vase). I gave away a ton of my books when we moved, but I’m displaying some of my favorites: a germain Audrey Hepburn book, @lisacongdon colorful happy book, and a first edition of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I also have my collection of magazine pages I’ve saved since I was a teenager. Next step is to fill it up! What else should I put in there?!? #casabellessa #diybookshelf #bookshelfie #builtin | Posted on 13/Nov/2023 21:37:49
