Built in adiction

I am addicted to things off of the floor! Every house we look at to buy my first thought is how can I make built- ins. To make a space feel bigger it is better to get things off the floor and utilize wall space. The worse thing you can do is line each wall in a room with furniture and things. Let the floors free to show off! So as you are Spring cleaning think about what clutter you can take out and how can you get your items on the walls. It can also be a cheap way to decorate as you use everyday items and display.
Few tips for bookcases, built-ins, or shelves: 1) group items in color. Take all your books and separate by color. It makes it look like art. I go into Kevin's office often and do this. 2) Buy items in one color (white is classic) then group them in 3 or 4. 3) Don't fill up every shelf. Simplify!

Happy decorating for Spring!
