I've always dreamed of having bookshelves in my living room to display all my stuff. And now finally, it's here!
I've checked different bookshelves online from the extremely popular Ikea Billy Bookcases, to getting quotations for custom made ones. But then it would never push through. But when we were in Metro Department Store last month, I saw this bookshelf and it was on sale. It was also the perfect size for my space so I knew it was a keeper!
Original price was P4,695 (so still very affordable) and it was 10% off so final price was P4,225.50. I needed 2, and with the cost of delivery and installation (P600), total cost all-in was P9,051. Not bad right?

I have a lot of books and random stuff, from travel souvenirs and various knickknacks acquired through the years. I wasn't sure how to arrange the stuff at first since I had such a diverse collection ranging from whimsical to Asian. But then the most obvious choice to tie everything together was to simply arrange them by color.
I love how I ended up having books with all the colors. And all these were stuff I already had lying around, and they fit in the bookshelves just perfectly!
Here's a closer look at the stuff on the shelves and where I got them.

And there you have it! I'm pretty sure you've noticed I have an addiction with globes haha! I still have a lot left over, but they won't fit anymore. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be updating or adding stuff to these bookshelves through the years. I'm just happy I can finally display all my stuff and this room is now my new favorite space in the house!
Superlike!!! I'm checking MDS UP Town Center this weekend haha! Thanks for the inspiration.
