106 • AMERICAN FARMHOUSE STYLEWhen it comes to choosing your shelves, Kelly recommends
built-in storage options. Because they’re set into the wall
itself, “they take up virtually no space,” even when you have
tons of them, like Kelly does. Plus, she adds, built-in shelves
“always look nicer and you can accessorize them more easily.”“It has been proven there are
psychological benefits to being
surrounded by wood. It brings comfort
more than anything else.”^
