It's week four of the One Room Challenge! If you're just joining us, I've been giving our family room a modern boho makeover, as a guest participant in the ORC.

Now that we're headed into the home stretch, let's take stock of the progress so far:

On the off chance you're not sick of seeing it yet, here's the mood board again:

Pillar candle holder /decorative wood bowl /felt storage basket /wall-mounted bookcase (similar bookcase for less) /sectional couch (similar sectional for less) /assorted black and white mudcloth pillows / throw blanket / yellow mudcloth pillow / hyacinth foldable storage baskets.
This week, I've been working on storage solutions for the room.
Time to fill those empty shelves!

Shelf styling is something I get unusually excited about.

I got a few new baskets for shelf storage:
Felt Storage Basket ($8.99, Amazon.com). These were a steal and I was really happy with the quality! I got two for this room and another two for the bedroom.
Foldable Hyacinth Storage Baskets - Set of 2 ($38.99, Amazon.com). They look much better in person.
I've been shopping our home for decorative items for the shelves. Shopping your home is the new (budget- and environmentally-friendly) shopping!
Some of these things were stored away in basement boxes and some were literally yanked from other rooms:

I also sorted through our stacks of books and decided which to keep:


Hours later...

If you've been following along for a while, you may've notice some of these things have made an appearance elsewhere in our home.
I used earth tones, plants and rounded shapes to lend a laid-back, boho feel to the shelves’ otherwise modern, clean lines.
Since this is our family room, I wanted to fill it with reminders of our happiest times together, spent travelling.
On the shelves below: travel guides from our favorite destinations and souvenirs from these trips (a ceramic bowl from a local shop in Joshua Tree and carved gourds from Peru).



The hyacinth and felt baskets I got on Amazon fit perfectly between the CB2 Helix acacia shelves! This is another one of those things that brings me an inordinate amount of joy:

Baskets are the perfect way to store things on shelves while minimizing visual cutter!

Shop This Idea

Wood & Metal Bookcase ($129.99, Amazon.com).
And then there's this other set of shelves in the opposite corner of the room:


I continued with the travel mementos/family theme over here:

This vintage abacus belonged to Eric's grandma. She actually used it for arithmetic! I wonder if one day my grandkids will display my old Texas Instruments graphing calculator on a shelf as quirky decor from a bygone age...

Eric snagged this inlaid wood box while on a trip to Egypt:

This gorgeous bkb ceramic planter, another Joshua Tree find, was handmade by a local artist, Brian Bosworth:

And, of course, there's more basket storage:


This is our junk 'basket' for the room:

I put our remotes, wireless keyboard and controllers in here:

More book storage down here:

Board games go in the massive basket beside the shelves:


So that's where we're at with two weeks left! I still need to style the couch and area around the TV. I also have a cute little travel map DIY I'll share with you next week!
