Where To Find Bookshelf Accessories

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. The weather here this weekend was great so I spent a lot of time outdoors soaking up what’s left of summer.

Last week I showed you guys my fully accessorized bookshelves. I also showed you how I went about styling them here.

The hardest part in getting your bookshelves styled is filling them with lots of accessories. For the most part, most of us could shop our homes and find things to fill them with. For me, I didn’t have a lot of stuff on hand already so most of the stuff I collected over the course of a few months.

I thought I would tell you where I got everything today in case you are on the hunt for accessories like I was.

1. The trophy came from my grandmother’s garage. I think someone delivered a flower arrangement to her in it. I just liked that it was something different to add to the mix. I have to admit, the trophy was actually once a bright and shiny copper color. My roommates and friends ever so nicely made comments about the color a few times, so I finally caved and spray painted it a more muted metallic. They were right, this looks much better

2. I absolutely love the old school hardback Reader’s Digest books with the funky covers. I’ve started collecting them and have some in my room as well. I found most of mine at my local thrift stores like Goodwill.

3. The wire basket came from a local antique store {and I have totally forgotten the name by now}. I love the look of wire baskets and when I saw it I knew I wanted to incorporate it into the shelves somehow.

4. The porcelain pitcher came from one of my favorite home goods store here in town called PD’s {Premier Discounts}. If you live in or around the Franklin area, I would highly recommend this place. Their stuff changes all the time, but it’s good quality high end items that they are able to provide and sell at a discount. If I had all the money in the world, I could buy everything in that store.

5. The old Coca-Cola crate came from the Nashville Flea Market.

6. The faux plant came from another great home decor store, Home Goods. Always a great option for affordable items!

7. This set of books actually came from my grandmother’s house. I didn’t realize that she had such a treasure trove of fun antique things, but I mentioned that I had been looking for old books and she let me go through her collection and take a few.

8. The framed antique skeleton key art I actually made a while back and used in my bathroom in our old apartment. You can see it in the bathroom here {please excuse the awful pictures… when I look back at those pictures and my pictures now I can certainly tell my photography has improved}.

9. Both blue mason jars came from a local antique store called The Arbor Mall. The faux dried hydrangeas came from JoAnn’s.

10. The spindles came from a local antique fair that I went to last year called Bella Rustica. I had never heard of it prior to going, but there were some amazing vendors. It’s happening again in September and I’m hoping I’ll be able to go this year.

11. Also got this set of books from my grandmother’s fabulous collection.

12. This faux antique fan came from Kirkland’s. Not quite as cool as a real vintage fan, but I kind of like it.

1. The bubbled purple vase and mirror were also purchases from PD’s.

2. The PRAY framed artwork came from Hobby Lobby. We actually used this in our old apartment on our shelves in our living room.

3. I absolutely love this wooden frame. There’s really nothing to it, but I just love it for some reason. I got this at a cute store in downtown Franklin called The Shoppes on Main. We also used this on our shelves in our old apartment.

4. White ceramic vase came from IKEA.

5. These really worn tiny books came from the Nashville Flea Market. I just loved how worn and old they were.

Do you have a favorite place or store you like to shop for accessories?

I’ve had a few people ask me to help them style their bookshelves {including my mom} so hopefully I’ll have some more fully decorated bookshelves to show you in the near future!
