There’s no denying it: a well-styled bookshelf, whether big or small, is one of those defining design factors that evokes major room envy. Your bookshelf styling can be an easy extension of your interests and personality, and there are no rules or limits to how you customize yours. My favorite bookshelves are the ones full of souvenirs from past adventures, favorite books (even the ones with cracked spines!), and conversation-starting statement pieces. 

The possibilities are virtually endless when styling your shelves. You can read beautiful bookshelf styling ideas and find inspiration galore on Pinterest. It can be as simple as color-coding small stacks of books to artfully showcasing accents collected over the years. It can involve pristine order and uniform stacks, or a strategic variety of favorite reads and random knick knacks.  No matter how expansive your home library is, your bookshelf can tell any story you wish to share.

I’ll be the first to admit that I can never shut up about a great shower head, and honestly nothing sounds more relaxing these days than a soak in a clawfoot tub.  I never thought chic matching hardware would ever be on my wish list. And thanks to Instagram, I can’t look at floor tile the same.  Oh, and let’s just say that the simple upgrade to plush towels and the best scrub ever has converted me to a twice-daily shower routine. 

A great bathroom is definitely a subject of room envy for me.  I see many a designer bathroom on Pinterest and instantly take inventory of the details I love and hope to have in my dream house someday. You too?  Take a look at the slideshow above for some major designer bathroom inspiration, along with seven steps to get the look at home.
