This week you get two-for-one in the “Shelf Style” series!
Kirsten from Kirsten and Co lives not too far from me, and is one of the very first bloggers I met in real life. When I asked her if she would like to share her shelf style, she was in the middle of shifting house – yet she was still keen to take part.
Not only that, you even get to see how she styled her Ikea shelves in the old house, and now how they look in her new home!
What room are your shelves in?
The shelves are in my home office (where I blog daily and do other essential tasks such as online shopping!)
How long have you had them?
I’ve had them for a couple of years.
What do you store in the boxes/cupboards?
The black boxes along the bottom have all sorts of random things stored in them. One is full of the kids’ artwork, another has their school reports in it, another has some leftover party supplies in it from Sophie’s Glamping Party from last year, and the lucky last one is where I keep momentos from my 40th birthday (birthday cards, photos etc).
The white boxes have photos in them, scrapbooking supplies and letters and cards the kids have given me over the years.
What is your favourite item on the shelves and why?
I love the fabric boxes on the bottom shelf. They’re great for storing bulky items and fit perfectly in the unit.
How often do you change the “look” of your shelves?
Usually once a year. Last year everything was hot pink and black, but this year I’ve gone for a more subtle monochrome look with pops of aqua.
I hope that you have been as inspired by Kirsten’s tidy office as I have been … now if only I could get mine looking that pristine 😉 !
If you have a set of Ikea shelves (or another brand) in your home – why not join in the fun? I’d love to feature yours in an upcoming blog post! All you have to do is snap some pics and answer the same five questions as Kirsten has above, and send to janet@middleagedmama.com.au.
Which one do you prefer – the pink or aqua styling?!
Today I’m linking to FYBF over at With Some Grace.
