One of the best renovation decisions we made was adding two built-in bookshelves to our living room. It immediately brought a balance to the room and provided me with an open canvas to fill with my favorite keepsakes and books. I love interspersing the shelves with a unique collection of literature and decorative objects. Here are a couple of items that would add texture to any bookcase.
