SPRING INSPIRED DECORATIVE BOOKS FOR STYLING PAINTED FURNITURE AND YOUR HOME DECOR… PLUS A FUN GIVEAWAY!
Hi friends! I took a little break from painting furniture this week to focus on spring styling. I picked up some gorgeous spring inspired book bundles from my friend Carole at Toronto Shabby Chic and can’t wait to share them with you! [Giveaway Alert!]
To backtrack a bit, I’ve been receiving more and more inquiries about my painted furniture styling. I have to be honest. Whenever I get asked or complimented on my furniture staging, I’m super flattered and equally surprised. To this day, styling doesn’t come easily to me. Thank goodness it doesn’t take me a full 2 days to figure out where to place a book bundle and floral arrangement anymore, but it’s still something I can easily play around with for hours.
So, the other day on IG, someone asked me what app I’m using to stage my pieces. Whaaaat?? Don’t laugh, but, I didn’t even KNOW there were apps to style painted furniture! This girl [me] still does it old school — with real “props” and staging… 😉
Which brings me to these gorgeous book bundles.
Aren’t these beautiful!?!
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a bonafide book lover. I even love the smell of them. The older and smellier — the better! Just give me a good ol’fashion book with real pages to turn and a hot beverage [as Sheldon from the BBT would say] and I’m in heaven. 😉
I’m sure you’ve also noticed, I LOVE books for styling painted furniture too. They’re inexpensive. Readily available at any thrift store or garage sale, and they look amazing.
These book bundles with their spring-inspired decorative covers really take it up a notch though!
A BIG thank you to Carole at Toronto Shabby Chic for making these decorative books for me! I really appreciate it and LOVE them!

Are the books covered with wallpaper or gift wrap?
Hi Mary! Sorry, I’m not exactly sure where Carole sources her paper. That said, you CAN use wallpaper or gift wrap to decoupage….I’ve even used napkins on this dresser here!
I wondered the same and saw on the facebook page that they use printed tissue paper. They are lovely!
I love collecting older books! They have such a nostalgic feel! I love these covers!
I would love those books!
Wow! Those look so pretty!
These are great, definitely will use these for staging my pieces. Thanks
Love your website! You shouldn’t be amazed when people admire your work, and it is a lot of work to refinish furniture! You have a real talent for it! I really enjoy the ideas you come up with for the different pieces! Thank you for your inspiration!
Thanks Ranell! And good luck. 🙂
