Still obsessing

I was thinking of selling our big wooden bookshelf and buying the huge Expedit bookshelf from Ikea to replace it. And then I had the idea to get these two smaller ones instead to go on either side of our entertainment center. They would hold our books and Evies toys (cause I totally ruined her toy cuboard by leaving it out in the cold).

So they would go on either side of this dresser.

I would probably move the polaroid heart above the fireplace.

And the bookshelf would be gone here for me to be able to move the piano to the wall the bookshelf is on now.

Can you tell I have been obsessing? lol

Can I just say that I am OBSESSED with your Polaroid heart! Those shelves are fantastic- they'd look gorgeous anywhere in your house! xoxo

Fake it till you make it right? Just give it a shot and see what feels right. You can plan all you want but you won't truly know what works best until you try it!

I've noticed it MANY times and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your polaroid heart! Can't wait to see what you do with the shelves!

I totally obsess over my house too, redecorate while I should be sleeping!

I like the sounds of your plan. I'd love to curl up on your gorgeous sofa in front of that window!

You are TOO funny! I think I like the bookshelf idea. It would be nice to store your little one's (and the new baby's!) toys in. I know you'll make it look b-e-a-utiful no matter what you end up doing! Have a good weekend :)

Obsessing? That's what we do best--especially when it comes to our homes. It's going to look great and I love the idea of a smaller bookshelf on either side.

I'm always so impressed at how you're able to visualize these ideas you have. Can't wait to see what you end up doing-- I know it will look fantastic!

Yes! You should definitely do the white shelves on either side of the entertainment centre. That will look great.

Oh, sister. I am the queen of obsessing. Trying to kick my living room up a notch and it's all I am thinking about. There must be a support group!

Leah, I would put the polaroid heart up above your green seat and still leave the mirror above the fireplace.

Don't we get our best ideas by obsessing? We just let our minds wander away!! ;-)
