I love me a good bookcase display. Whether it’s symmetrical or solo, built-in or free-standing, I look at each as a perfect opportunity to tell the story of its owner. Sometimes I use found objects. Usually I have to bring in some items for color or texture. Sometimes I turn entire collections backwards. Sometimes I do a theme or arrange by color. My secrets include a little repetition, a definite balance and more than likely a little whimsy. People often fizzle out when it comes time to put the accessorizing touches in but I think they make all the difference!
