Pics dont show. If its a bookshelf beneath the window you can make a window seat!

I like the idea of painting the bookshelves white.

Now on the bottom, maybe you can add doors and use that for storage for things you dont want to keep out in the open?

For the top, maybe put some family pics up and decorative accessories like candles, plants, etc.

OMG that is a lot of ummmmmm....stuff Chat Icon

I would definitely paint it white and add doors for storage (did that downstairs to our shelving/built in). It'll make a HUGE difference.

I think once you clear it out, paint it and make it to your taste it'll be awesome :)

I'll come over and help Chat Icon

Congrats Tara! I def agree with painting the bookshelves white. Maybe some glass doors would look nice on some of the shelves. Once her stuff is out and you add your own stuff it'll look nice.

White for sure, less stuff, and pretty hardware! It could actually turn out nice.

For the windows I like sheers with a pretty valence.
