“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.” - Coco Chanel. Well, I don’t leave the house much or wear many (any!) accessories, BUT I do apply this sentiment to shelf styling! It’s easy to over do shelves so I usually remove a few items before calling it good. You know what really helps with this? Taking a pic! Not for the gram but to give your eyes another perspective. Just like looking in the mirror. Sometimes seeing shelves on an image highlights an area that is too cluttered, unbalanced, or whatever... Also, don’t forget! You’re invited to show off your shelfies - wall shelf, bookshelf, kitchen shelves, etc. with my hashtag heyallisalookatmyshelves - every week I share some of your posts!!! And for good measure, I also post source links and extra goodies under the “shop our home” link in my bio, or follow me, @allisajacobs, on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app 🖤 http://liketk.it/3eFKe liketkit @liketoknow.it Rshome WEAREVIVIR midcenturymonday myserenehome beautifullyboho mymidcenturymix ourtruehaven casualmodernhome thisminimalhome greathometakestime wherewedwell naturalorneutral earthinspiredhome inmydomaine mycuratedaesthetic loveyourhabitat simplystyleyourspace CurrentDesignSituation SimplyStyleYourSpace Cljsquad SODomino anthroliving
