I have had some trouble accessorizing the two built-ins that flank the fireplace in the den: they're wider and deeper than the built-ins in the Little Rock, so I can't just re-create the look from the old house.
I keep working and re-working different books & fun pieces to try to make them full but not junky.
Books are nice to frame the accessories...
and I've started using some of my favorite creamers & sugars as bookends...
... but still having trouble finding vertically-oriented objects.
Until $18 bought these candlesticks at Marshall's...
I like that they add height to the shelf, but do not take up too much visual space. Very nice.

We've been working on building a homemade farmhouse table (see about it here & here), and it's finally shaping up! Here's a little peek at how the white washing process turned out...
Stay tuned for the last steps on putting this baby together!
