I'm sure you've heard countless bloggers rave about West Elm's gorgeous home goods. Nonetheless, I've jumped on the bandwagon and am in love with their urban-chic style (even if I don't live in a space pretty enough for these pieces yet! One day ... sigh ...).

I found myself on West Elm's website after reading Glitter Guide's review of the Decorate Workshop--an interactive book by Holly Becker (the ultimate design blogger of Decor8) that I cannot wait to purchase! Since her new book is being sold on West Elm's site, I was eventually led to their sale section and thought I'd curate some of the chic (and affordable) items that caught my eye. 

Which of these items would you purchase for your humble abode?

Weekend Projects: Styled Organization

{Left Image | Right Image}

Earlier this week I said I had a lot of DIY projects on my mind, just waiting to be completed! One that I'm planning to do this weekend (thanks to a day off of work!) is reorganizing my bedroom storage. Living with a roommate means I need to maximize the space that I have for storage, but still like to style it in an appealing way. 

What I love about the image on the right is its "styled organization." I have countless magazines, always need room for accessories and jewelry, and love the patterned boxes that can conceal items that aren't as display worthy.

Though I tend to gravitate towards the simplicity of the shelves on the right, I do love the idea of embellishing a plain shelf with patterned paper. I purchased a shelf from Target for only $20 (now on sale for $17!) and am hoping to add a pop of color to the back boards like the example above. 

I'll post more before and after pictures of my little DIY project next week!

What are your 3-day weekend plans?
