BOOKCASE STYLING WITH DOLLAR GENERAL HOME DECOR FINDS

This post may contain affiliate links. Click {{HERE}} for full disclosure.

It all started when I went into Dollar General to buy pampers for Kehlani.  Right when I walked in the store, I saw all this beautiful home decor.  Did you know Dollar General had a home decor section?  Make sure to go check out Dollar General’s home decor section the next time you’re in there!

Let me go back 3 months, before I retired, I asked my boss if I could have his bookcase since he didn’t want it.  Where I was going to put it didn’t matter, I just thought it was a sturdy piece and I wanted it.  He gave it to me, I brought it home and it sat in the garage for 3 months.

I went back into Dollar General, this time to shop their home decor items.  I bought a lot of great items to style on the bookcase he gave me.  To save some money I used a coupon on Saturday.

Dollar General Home Decor Finds

Just to let you know, if I feel this is a good place for the bookcase, I will give it a new color.  For now, I am testing it out to see if this will be its home.

Signs and frames fill up space and give interest

I found a set of three frames.  The saying “every family has a story” caught my eye, love how true the saying is.  I also love the design of the two square frames.

I am placing the two square frames up on top of the unit along with a blue vase I found on the 50% off table.

The greenery and basket I had on hand.

Baskets are great for storage and gives a stylish look

A perfect item to use for storage would be this wire basket I found in Dollar General.

I added two throw pillows, I already had to the bottom shelf with the basket, I tucked a throw inside the basket.  Not only does the shelf look stylish, it also acts like a storage space.

Adding different textures and elements

I purchased two wooden candleholders, the same size.  Love the chunky look of them.

I gave them a whitewash look.  Here is what I did to the holders.

  • sanded lightly both candleholder
  • using a damp cloth cleaning the candleholders
  • painted on Waverly white wax chalk paint, spreading with a chip brush until you get the amount of coverage you want
  • buff the candleholders after the wax dried

I placed the wording sign to the top shelf along with the candleholders.

Purchasing two photo frames to showcase favorite photos, I also found a wooden dough bowl to style with the frames.

I styled the frames and dough bowl with a wooden white orb, BOXWOOD WREATH and my DIY WOODEN LINK CHAIN.

Play with height

The two vases I found in Dollar General has the same color theme and will give the shelf a variation in sizes.

I found the plant on the 50% off table and the clock I thought would add interest.

I placed the clock on a large DECORATIVE BOX, keeping balance to the shelf by distributing height.

Like I said in the beginning, make sure you go in your Dollar General and check out their home decor section! I would love to hear about what you find in your Dollar General store.
