A shelfie, you ask?
According to the Urban Dictionary; "a picture or portrait of your bookshelf showcasing literature in all of its glory!" This term was originally defined by author Rick Riordan.
Not to be confused with selfie. ex. "As you can see everything in my shelfie is color coordinated".
Not only are we going to take "shelfies" this month, we also are going to look at different ways to showcase our art and collectibles upon our shelves.
Mix textures and shades for "shelfie" interest. Basket, pillows, rug, table runner and pillows,

We all have family photos that we love!
I really like how all of these photos are black and white and arranged on these long shelves on one wall. Putting them together in mass really creates a design statement, and showcases your memories!

Plant lover?
I wish I had a "green thumb", if I did I think I would create a wall garden like this shelf display! Mixed amongst the plants are books and pottery. *Notice how they used the vertical space as well.
I love it!
