Affordable Shelving Option

Do you have a big wall just screaming for a bookshelf but you don't want to fill it with something big and bulky? I've got the perfect solution, and it's very affordable! Ikea's glass shelving unit, Vittsjo.

My clients didn't need extra storage in their bedroom so we decided to use shelves instead of traditional bedroom furniture, like a dresser or chest of drawers. Here's a peek at the top of their shelves and how they're styled. The layered artwork from their kids is the best!

We used two Vittsjo units and pushed them together. We didn't go crazy with accessories since we were going for a light and airy look to compliment the glass shelves. Did I mention these shelves are only $70 each? So that means we filled this entire wall for $140. Try to find a decent dresser for that price, I dare ya!

Some of my favorite accessories. I suggested they fill the tall frame stand with a little black and white picture or one of the boys' school pictures.

I have a secret to share. Sometimes I buy accessories for clients and secretly hope they won't like them so I can buy them for myself. Case and point...this bowl. I love, love it. I pulled off several leaves of the faux hydrangea branch and this little scene screams perfection in my book. (It's the little things, right?!)
