I made a small change to the bookcases in my living room. I wanted to add a some texture and a little punch of color.
I've been on the lookout for a faux boxwood wreath for a long time, but they're usually pretty pricey. I was thrilled when I found a nice, lush one for only $12!
I simply took a strip of burlap that I already had...
...and used it to hang the wreath from.
I added a torn strip of some leopard print fabric that I already had for a touch of whimsy. I think the torn edges add another bit of texture. Plus I like the look of the rustic with the refined.

ReplyDeleteOops, I also wanted to say that I love your wire cloche on the coffee table with the pumpkin inside, adorable! I did the same thing, but with a smaller wire cloche! =) Happy Friday! XO ~Liz
ReplyDeleteLovely. The boxwood wreath is such a beautiful one and the simple burlap "ribbon" really sets it off.

ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

Mary - I found the boxwood wreath at a place in High Point that is shared with High Point Liquidators and Red Door Home. They had two more left and would probably ship to you. Let me know if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love your wreath~so clever! I hope you will add your lovely metamorphosis to my Fall in Love linky party on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteUntil then, stop by and see the under $20 makeover I gave an ugly brass light fixture.
Happy Monday!
That is such a great way to dress up bookshelves! Such a bright pretty wreath!
ReplyDeleteI'm smitten. Can you come style my bookcases? Yours look so magazine ready. The wreath is just the perfect touch of eye candy for this space and I, like you, appreciate that contrast of the leopard print velvet and the burlap. Thanks so much for linking this to Motivated Monday at BeColorful
