I measured the height of the stool and the circumference.
So here’s how I always do my bookshelves.It takes me 5 minutes and it makes me feel happy and calm.. Here’s the shelf that I showed you recently from my dining room:.
a little DIY upgrade on it.for fun, but mostly I picked it up to fill this corner until we get some built-ins done here and to take some of the weight off of my poor old buffet.Oh, and to hold some books that have been floating around the house..
This arranging tip is so simple it’s almost silly, but it really really works!.You put everything that’s the same together.. That’s it.. Don’t worry about balancing things out, or mixing it up, just group items together that look the most like one another.. Then, if it’s still feeling a little cluttered you add in one to two baskets, preferably somewhere in the bottom 1/3 of the shelf.. Then, if it needs a little something extra, add a pop of green.
It can be fake green.
Mine usually is.This probably took the longest of anything, but was totally necessary.
I had a couple of good non-disposable angled brushes on hand that I switched out and cleaned up if they started to seem like the paint was drying on them too much.I’ll share my super-easy paint brush cleaning technique with you next week.
Oh, you just wait!.I saved a good 5 minutes per coat with a little technique I called the “beadboard rule of thirds”.
