You know I love a good makeover and this etagere scooped up from Goodwill by Eddie Ross is positively gorgeous! It cost a mere $75 and just look what you can do with a bit of styling! I especially adore the faux bamboo detail, charming little finials and lovely aged brass finish. The icing on the cake? The handsome white horse bookends are from my vintage shop, Katie Armour Home. Looking good Eddie ; )
How do you style your bookshelves? With books, objects or both?

My Etsy widget is down at the moment, but I just wanted to let you know I’ve added several fun items to Katie Armour Home this week. Nearly everything is less than $30 and a great deal are less than $20. I’m seriously crushing on the chic little match holders (think Rita Konig ladies…) and butterflies. Enjoy ; )

My name is Katie and I’m a design book addict. A couple of months ago I found this massive lucite, glass and chrome coffee table on Craigslist for $60 (I know, find of a lifetime!) and love that it accommodates six stacks of books on top and six below. I still have multiple stacks elsewhere (it’s a disease!), but this keeps my collection somewhat tidy. Anyway, thought I’d share a few iPhone snaps of my trinkets and such. We’re still hunting for a sofa (and desk, and bookshelves), but I’m in no rush. Rooms that are decorated over time have more soul, don’t you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
P.S. Some of my most treasured: Flair Annual 1953, Allure by Diana Vreeland, photography books by Richard Avedon, Karl Lagerfeld and David Bailey, Tony Duquette, Happy Times by Lee Radziwill, Michael Smith’s Houses, Goodbye Picasso, Billy Baldwin Decorates, David Hicks: Designer, Vogue Living, museum/gallery publications collected on my travels…

That’s right loves, we’re moving next week and I’d love to get rid of everything in the shop (don’t fret I’ll be restocking the moment we arrive in California!). I’ve heavily discounted each and every item (only two are over $20 now…impressive, right?) and added a few new pieces at fantastic bargain prices. I’ll be adding more all day in fact! Enjoy!
