The first big projects we tackled right after I had Anna were two sets of built-in bookshelves– one in the playroom, and one in the front room.  When I say right after, I mean right after, as in a few days after I got home from the hospital and we shot this video.

I just love built-in shelving in pretty much any space.  It adds so much character and makes your home feel so custom.  I had the idea to add a corner bookcase, or corner built-in, in the front living room in a sort of plain and awkward corner next to the front door.

Per usual, I designed it and Jon did the heavy lifting.  He’s just so great at making my whacky ideas come to life.  And this one is a project you can totally do yourself.  I give you our DIY corner bookcase tutorial.  It’s in video, naturally, which I think makes it so much easier to understand.

No written words could express how excited I am to get these babies styled.  Styling is my jam.

Ya’ll, you know you’ve got an awkward corner in your home somewhere.  Go build yo self a bookshelf.
