I am not a fan of bookshelves. Truth be told, I think they look messy and most of the time they are really unorganized. The only exception is if you can decorate it well and use cute accessories on the shelves ... but then you aren't really using it as a bookshelf. And with all the books I have to fit on ours, I don't have much space to decorate without it looking even more crowded.
When we moved into our new house, we had no place for our bookshelf. Ideally, I would like it in an office, but since an office doesn't exist in this house, we had to put it in our bedroom ... not ideal at all, but it needed a place to go and this was the only empty spot we had.
Because I had no choice in the matter, I have to grin and bear it, and decided I would just organize it as well as I could, and maybe that would help.
Here's the before ...
Here's the after ...
I decided to organize the books and folders by color, and I think that made it look a little better.
Still not my favorite thing ever... but it'll work, for now anyway. :)
What's next on your to-do list around your home?
To have Megan come to my house and organize every spot and space is on my list!!! :)
