I can tell you right now, no, there is a serious lack of bookshelf style going on at my house. I have four bookcases – two large ones and two small narrow ones. All are messy, cluttered and a total wreck.

After spotting a few pins on Pinterest (like ya do), I realized my bookshelves were in worse shape than I thought. Ugh, those crafty people! So tell me, does your bookshelf have style?!

Bookshelf Style – A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi

I constantly waver between feelings of adoration and loathing for Pinterest. First I’m inspired, then I’m overwhelmed and then I ultimately land on depression. Who has time to do all of these pins??

If you do, please share you crafting skillz cuz I’m in desperate need. These projects I may actually do though (…we’ll see), as they are SUPER PRACTICAL for this bookworm.

Bookshelf Style

Have you employed any accessories or art on your bookshelves? Or are they like mine – too filled with books for anything else?

These crafty people found ways to make bookshelves super stylin.

Accessories:

Background color

Pop of color AND Boookshelf styling

Bookshelf Organization

Then there’s the question of organization.

How do you organize your books? Do you alphabetize your books by author? Sort by genre? Sort by genre AND alphabetize by author?? What about series?

Do you color code your books?

I need a bigger bookcase, so right my bookshelves are double packed. Which means there are two rows of books per row. They’re stacked both vertically and horizontally to fit as many books as possible in there. It needs some serious bookshelf style.
