The Shelfie Guide

I am known for my trinkets - and the shelves I put them on, so I wanted to spill a few tricks of the trade on how to get that perfect shelfie look.

1. Bring In Height

By adding in taller objects with shorter ones you can create a beautiful balance and layer your trinkets.

2. Something Reflective

Mirrors or glass works perfectly for this - even something framed.

3. Something Natural

Placing in some wood or even plants or floral arrangements creates some natural textures that make it beautiful.

4. Layer

Make it casual, like you just placed the items on top of each other - effortless is the way to go here.

5. Make it Imperfect

This isn't a puzzle and there is no right or wrong - don't worry about making it perfect or precious.

6. It's YOURshelf

Put things that you love and make you happy when you see them - personal photos, good books, colors that soothe you.

7. Throw in Everyday

If the shelf is in your kitchen use pretty utensils, spices, matches, candles. If it's in the office put a cup of pens, or a chalkboard.

8. Make it a Bar

Who needs a bar cart when you've got a SHELF! Throw on your favorite spirits, mixes, and vessels to serve them in and you've got your "shelf" a party. ha haThe most important thing about creating a shelfie is making it yours and making it live with you!
