106 • AMERICAN FARMHOUSE STYLE
When 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.”^
