Giveaway: Colorblock Bookshelf Styling with Layla Grayce

All-white-bookshelf

Sometimes I try to play coy about giveaways—you know, do a slow reveal—but I can't hold back this time. Comment on this post and you'll be entered to win the white Bungalow 5 Table Lamp and the Chevron Frame from Layla Grayce that I used in my colorblocked bookshelf styling project! I mean, like, how could I not just blurt that awesomeness right out?

Now the backstory. It did take me a long time to style my bookshelf this way: an entire weekend, in fact. And it helped to get an injection of a few fresh home decor items from Layla Grayce. But on the whole this was all stuff I had collected from around the house; what I required most was a vision going into the project, and then a willingness to play with scale and proportion as I worked. There was a ton of trial and error, it got messy before it got better, and it was never truly "done".

As I explained in my post on the Layla Grayce blog—be sure to check out my styling tips over there—this is a really useful way to organize a bookshelf, as you can easily swap new pieces in based on the colorblocking, even arrange flowers according to the palette. Think of it as a weekend of really fun effort that makes decorating a no-brainer for months to come.

The pieces I used from Layla Grayce: 1. Gold Leaf Convex Wall Mirrors 2. Bungalow 5 Melrose Table Lamp 3. Herringbone Photo Frame 4. Illume Boho Candle (Similar to shown) 5. Rosanna Bon Bon White Footed Square Bowl 6.Rosanna Les Petite Sweets Compote 7. Rosanna Etched Vase Images: Photos by Colin Price, Styling by Anne Sage.

  10. Beautiful job styling! I moved last weekend and that lamp has a spot in my new house!

  12. Love your post over at Layla Grace! I’ve saved this link for when I tackle my bookcases in the spring!

  13. I’ve just finally moved into a space that inspires me enough to try new things like this. The trouble is, I want like, ALL of those lamps. Together. With me.
    Love it, Anne!

  16. I love that picture frame – also, how cute is that armadillo!

  18. i have that same little brass vintage owl and love him. so funny when you see one of your little knick knack vintage finds show up elsewhere…

  20. What great pieces. I’m not sure if the chevron thing is going to go out soon but it’s too late for me. I committed with a piece for each room. This frame would add a finishing touch 🙂

  37. I love how you styled everything, I have my books separated by colors but haven’t thought to color block my tchotchkes as well!

  38. I love this entire look. I get so daunted by my buffet table shelf, it is hard to come up with something cool. Your styling looks so beautiful and it fits perfectly in my loft apt!
