Do you ever have trouble understanding your style? I sure do! Once I think I have it pinned down I see another item that I HAVE TO HAVE that doesn't fit any of the other requirements. I just think I'm pretty eclectic and love a bunch of different things. So what's wrong with having those different things all in my home? I say nothing it all! It gives it more of a collected over time look. Which is exactly what it is! But if I had to define my style (at this particular point in time, cuz Lord knows it's always changin') it would be a blend of light airy modern beach house decor, with a splash of mid-century, and a smidge of industrial. There are probably major gaps that I'm leaving out but at this point in time on a Saturday morning, that's all I got!
So when I happened across a vintage blue metal book case at my favorite local thrift store, I HAD TO HAVE IT! The heart pounding "I shouldn't but I have to"kinda have it. Does this ever happen to you?! I actually checked out with my clothing items first because I was trying to talk myself out of it. But obviously you know that I got because now I have the privilege of sharing it with you!
Here it is cleaned up, 'styled', and in my house!
It's a little rusted and weathered in places but I think it adds to the charm of the piece. Here are some close ups!

And here it is shown at a wider angle in the room.
Do you all have many different styles of decor in your house? Had any recent finds that you just can't wait to share about?
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Well seems to me it would fit as a smidge of industrial. And the blue works for the beach house part. I say it fits.
