I also would like to make mention of a new blog belonging to Briohny called
French Doors and Verandahs
Briohny's blog description says "Building a Coastal Style Home in Victoria, Australia and I am Dreaming of French Doors and Verandahs".
Well that was enough to have me hooked!!! This is a young blog and I know Briohny would appreciate all of your encouragement.
I thought I would show you a little something I picked up at a garage sale recently. It was one of those where you think "okay, nothing here for me", and then look what I found:o) I love these bookends, love them! (shelves could use a dusting Ange).
I picked these 3, supposedly floating, shelves up in the IKEA seconds section and they were missing the attachments needed to float them. Guessing that's why they were $7 each rather than $40-odd. I'm thinking I will paint out the brackets one of these days.

I don't mind the brackets it gives it more of a vintage industrial look but if that's not to your taste then painting them would look good too! Love your book ends! I've been on the look out for some bookends actually and yours are great!
Thanks for sharing the new blogs, I'm off to check them out!

Some great bargains Ange. Love the bookends. I agree with Janette, I like the brackets as they are..Will take a look at the new blog - thanks x
Gorgeous find Ange...and those floating bookshelves look fab..and yep..the brackets painted out will make a world of difference. Love the way you have arranged it all..gorgeous x
Hi Ange, I love your striped wall - it looks really cool!
Very nice finds...I like the shelves a lot, as well as the bookends. Very nice vignettes on both shelves! :-)

They're fabulous. I only have one like that:(
thanks for pointing out some new blogs...we love that!
Ange, I just read your comment on the entry post, thankyou , yes it really was fun to see and meet some new bloggers. I had to laugh when I read about your son. I almost wrote something about the smell of the little cabbage flowers but did not want to taint you entry post,hehe. I found out the same thing here when I bought some, I am super sensetive to smells so you can only imagine my disappointment because they are so pretty. Too funny, you cracked me up. Fun sharing a post with you, Have a great day, I am going to check out that other blog you mentioned and I love the brackets!! They look interesting, not run of the mill, Kathysue
I love those shelfs...like what you did with them,very funky!!! Hope you are well,Chrissy
Hi Ange. Your shelves look great. I love the way you've displayed everything. While the brackets have a sort of industrial egde if they don't suit your decor you could paint them out. Or why not have a look at the hardware store or on eBay for some architectural timber corbels or brackets? You only need six and sometimes you can get them really cheap.
Oh, and thanks for the link to Briohny's blog!

Hi Ange, I love the thickness of the shelves. I love that feeling at a garage sale....that little rush of excitement when you find something you love, hope you have a lovely weekend, cheers katherine
ange, you have a real *eye* for design!! most of us just put stuff on the shelf without thinking of balance. everything looks perfect. do you give lessons??? :)
Hi Ange, I love the shelves, I think they rock! I seem to have deleted your email address to send you invite to my blog. Email me here: katrina_chambers@bigpond.com
What gorgeous bookends - great find! The bookshelves look great too - don't you just love the clearance section at IKEA (sometimes I actually go in thru' the 'out' door just to look there first).
