Living Room Shelving

A few months ago, I posted about an empty spot behind the couch. Well, we decided to go with shelves but the next step was to find the right size and color. We found some large ones on steep discount at restoration hardware. The shelves were listed as "reclaimed" but when they came in the mail, they were painted to look reclaimed but they looked very fake. My husband spent the next two days sanding them and revealved beautiful wood underneath! No idea why they chose to paint them!

I printed some photos I have taken and am really happy with how it turned out!


BUT now I have this empty spot that we need to fill. I am not sure what to put here:


I have looked and looked and I think that one day I will just stumble upon it. Whatever it is :)

    1. I am worried that a plant will block the view outside for people sitting but I will add that idea to our list!

  3. What about a blanket ladder? It would be a fun way to bring texture and color into the space that you could change out with your mood/season.. :)

  5. How about a tall lamp? I love this one from Pottery Barn. I think Target has a similar one.
