I need some help deciding what to do with a couple of spots in the new place. A few things are literally nailed into the walls so i just have to work around them. One was the giant mirror above the fireplace, which i’ve complimented by placing every metallic object i own on the mantle. I’m a little more clueless about these two spots though:

Number one is these shelves. I like them, i just don’t really have anything to put on them since all of our books just fill up the bookcase. I thought of buying some random decorative books to fill up at least one shelf, but i’m not really into useless decorative things, as a rule. Any better ideas?

Number two is this …thing in the bathroom:

This is a pretty poor picture, but there are five wooden pegs protruding from that panel (there should be six; one is missing). I feel like there’s something out there that would look really cute hanging from odd wooden pegs in the bathroom, but i can’t put my finger on it. What do you guys think?

    Again, jealous.

    1. I think the bookcase set up is adorable the way it is and I wouldn’t rush into any random decorative items or books. When I first moved into my apartment I thought that I had to buy everything right then, but really I’ve appreciated the things that I just randomly come across in the decorating world, they mean so much more.

    2. Random wooden pegs. What about a couple vintage-y patterned hand towels? Pretty predictable, but a colorful option…
