" One of my favorite bloggers, Jenny Komenda, author of Little Green Notebook, recently moved into a new home in Arizona. In the hallway just outside the mudroom lives a large built-in set of shelves. To pepper a bit of autumn in the space, she hit the local Goodwill in search of vintage wares in warm golden tones\u2014or items she could paint shades of metallic gold or copper. Just look at her thrift-store scores! (Some items are intended for other places in the house.)           Passed the test. A photo posted by Jenny Komenda (@jennykomenda) on Sep 24, 2013 at 6:02pm PDT     Five things to remember when styling shelves, inspired by Jenny: 1. Don&amp;#039;t arrange all books like you live in a library. Keep some books vertical and make small horizontal stacks of others. 2. Consider color-coding your tomes. Arrange books with complementing spines together. 3. Add decorative objects. When shopping or scouting the house for bookcase-appropriate items, look for accessories with different shapes\u2014sculptural pieces, textural boxes, and spherical decor. 4. Stick to a two- or three-color palette when accessorizing, but remember that anything can be painted. 5. Hang items within the shelves to frame a mini gallery or make one item stand out, like Jenny&amp;#039;s sunburst mirror. Use adhesive picture-hanging hooks to prevent damaging the bookcase.
