Last week, I shared how my friend Ashly designed an upstairs bonus room out of some of their unfinished attic space (see it here if you missed it). She has an incredible eye for design and the room turned out beautifully:


Today, as promised, I’m back to share some of the close up photos I took of her bookcases. There’s a knack to styling bookshelves and Ashly definitely has it!

She also told me that she shopped her house for everything you see. Most of her home is what I call “gathered” in that she is a pro at finding great things at thrift stores, estate sales, antique shops, and online.
Enjoy!


















I continue to be thankful for dear friends who are willing to share their homes with our readers during my month(s) in a hotel! Thank you, Ashly.







Books are the best friend. When people are obsessed with books like me, I am totally find room for their existence..
