For Christmas, Dane got me all the materials that we need to finish up our fireplace and built-ins! AND the material for our mudroom locker system, but I will share about that another time! For now I have been dreaming up all the ways to fill the built-ins with cozy items that give the space some style! 

frames: I have a couple of these vintage looking, pressed glass frames and they are my absolute favorite. I think they showcase old family photos so well. I also think they would be beautiful in the kitchen with a tattered and well loved, handwritten recipe.

hardware: The bottom of the built-ins is going to have cabinet doors! Just making my hidden storage dreams come true. Anyway...these pulls are so sweet! I originally thought that we would use them in the kitchen, but I think the living room will be a better fit. 

storage bins: I plan on putting some family games and some of my books in the cabinets, but I am sure we will put some little toys + coloring books and crayons in there as well. Some storage bins will help organize those little items and make it easy to pull out when the kids want to use them. 

pretty books: I love the idea of a little stack of books on the shelves. I feel like it makes things look so cozy! 

canister: I thought this canister was so pretty with the textured glass and gold lid. I imagine it on top of a couple books. 

marshall speaker: I have been eyeing this speaker for a while. I love the vintage vibe. 

I cannot wait to get started styling these built-ins. And then adding festive touches for each season or holiday! EEEP! It is going to be so good.
