Make it look vintage, but kitchen and kid-friendly Make it look vintage, but kitchen and kid-friendly!

I recently updated our kitchen runner with this beauty from @jaipurliving and it checks all the boxes! #ad This particular rug is the Canteena - CAN02 and I love how it pairs with our green kitchen cabinets. This runner looks vintage, but has all the perks of a new rug such as a traction, no-slip backing, and easily spot cleans for any of those messy kitchen spills.

There’s so many great colors and patterns to chose from, I had a hard time selecting just one. You can shop this exact runner here: https://bit.ly/3Y99lYy and head to my stories for a few more shots of this gorgeous runner!

My $200 amazon ottoman! I shared this ottoman las My $200 amazon ottoman!

I shared this ottoman last week in my stories when it was back in stock AND 50% off. It’s now back to full price, but still a good deal! It’s down filled and extra plush. The fabric is a stonewashed grey look and looks so high end. Overall, a win in my book!

9 months in and our new construction house is fina 9 months in and our new construction house is finally feeling like home! Our kitchen is definitely the heart of our home and I love it down to every last detail. From the moment Nate and I talked about building a new home, I knew I wanted a green kitchen (thankfully Nate agreed). What do you think, are you team green?

How to style open shelves with my favorite finds

Do you love open shelves as much as I do? We had 3 areas of open shelving – our living room, kitchen and pantry, so clearly I LOVE open shelves. I’m consistently receiving messages and comments asking how I style our open shelves, so I’m going to give you my top 3 tips, as well as linking my favorite items I have used or recommend to style shelves.

This post contains affiliate links where I may receive a commission from any purchases you make. See my full disclosure here and thank you for using my links!

sconces // lamp // rattan glasses // cutting board // planter // rattan bowl // white plates // vintage bowl
Before You Style

If it’s your first time styling your shelves, they are probably pretty bare. If not, make sure you clear your shelves so that you start with a blank slate. Take this time to group all of your décor pieces together. Put your coffee table books grouped together, vases together, frames together, smaller trinket items grouped together, you get the idea. This makes it easier to visually see all the pieces you have available.

lamp // cutting board // planter // rattan bowl // white plates // vintage bowl // recycled glasses
pitcher // cookbook
Layering

There’s several ways to layer – by height, by size and by texture. I love mixing natural, organic textures, woven materials, and different wood tones into my shelves. Don’t forget taller vases and picture frames!

When styling your open shelves, make sure you separate your heavier pieces. This will help keep your eye moving throughout your shelves.

Group in three’s

Have you heard of the rule of three’s when styling shelves? I try to stick to this rule because it helps create a natural flow for your eye to follow and is visually pleasing. Plus, grouping items into three’s looks more organized and curated.

Make sure you also leave a negative space in between groups. You don’t want to squish as many items as you can onto the shelves. Sometimes less is more.

stems // vase // wide brass vase // vintage basket // wooden jack // coffee table books // basket // candle // picture frame

There you have it! My secret formula (well, not so secret anymore). Here’s another secret. There is three items I ALWAYS include in my open shelves:

  1. Picture frames for added height, yes, even in the kitchen
  2. Cookbooks or coffee table books, depending on the placement of the shelves (living room vs. kitchen)
  3. Plants or dried stems for added height, texture and life

Now that we covered how to style shelves, below are some of my favorite items that I either currently have or have been eyeing for our new shelves.
