Everyday Dining Room Shelves

Wahoo! It feels so good to be back behind the blog! This year has been a doozy so far with unexpected house issues and sicknesses, so despite all the things I’ve been dying to tell you, I haven’t been able to actually get a post up. Sad times!

You may remember, we did a dining room refresh over the summer and added shelves above the buffet table. I had fun decorating them for fall and Christmas, but it was finally time to figure out how to style them for every day. The shelves are in a focal point not just in our dining room, but they are also prominent from our entry way. Because of that, I wanted to make sure that they were pretty, but not at all cluttered. Here’s what I came up with!

I decided to stick with mostly neutrals to keep the visual clutter to a minimum. I stopped in at Kirkland’s to look for decor and just so happened to hit it right when they were clearancing out a bunch of decor and I had a 25% off entire purchase coupon. Score! I had a lot of fun creating vignettes on any surface in the store I could find until I came up with just the right combinations.

The entire top shelf decor is from Kirkland’s and was on sale or clearance! I love the white + soft wood tones together and the scalloped detail on the frame gives me all the heart eyes!

This house frame is one of my favorite finds! I have a thing for anything house shaped, so it had me at hello. Sorry for the funky blurring on my kids’ faces. Gotta keep them safe from internet creepers. 😉

This combo is my other favorite part! I am obsessed with the footed bowl filled with lambs ear! I had the stems on hand already and found the bowl at Target. The pitcher is Kirkland’s clearance and was dirt cheap! I found some pretty textural wood grain scrapbook paper at Michael’s to cover a couple small books with and love how it plays with the other wood tones on the shelves!
