Doing some redecorating! New Ameriwood Home bookshelf!

Isabelle is a year old now and I’m starting to look around the apartment and realize what a mess I’ve let it become since she was born!  Having a newborn is such a busy time and all you care about it is keeping the baby alive and getting some sleep (or thinking about sleep… or hoping you’ll sleep again some day…)

I am getting to the point where I want a little more organization in my life, and it was time for a few furniture upgrades. (We have literally had our couch for 6 years and we got it from an apartment we rented after someone left it there.  This couch has seen it all!)

Luckily a bookshelf is good for both organization and a nice way to upgrade the look of our space!  We live in an apartment so storage is at a premium and when you don’t have places to put things away, they end up in piles.  And piles look yucky.

I received this bookshelf for free from Ameriwood Home for my honest review and it was exactly what we needed for our apartment.  It came right to our door, it was easy to put together with 2 people, and it was much nicer quality than other assemble-yourself furniture we’ve seen. They actually have all different types of furniture, from cribs to cabinets to tv stands with built-in fireplaces.

The bookshelf I chose is the Wildwood Wood Veneer Bookcase in Espresso, linked here. It’s made really well and I especially like the metal X’s on the sides.  I think they give it a really unique look, and you would never guess we assembled it ourselves! It also came with a bracket to mount it so the kids can’t tip it over.  I would definitely recommend Ameriwood Home to anyone wanting to do some redecorating.  We are actually already looking at those tv stands with the fireplaces for when the weather cools down!
