At least not as individual stems—only in bunches, which I didn&#39;t want.

I&#39;ll read the books, put them in my bookshelf...if they are too bright, they get turned around. If they were cheap, they may get their covers pulled off...and if they&#39;re even cheaper...like these Dollar Tree books...they get dipped in a little something to make them look old, aged, and vintage. It&#39;s an easy way to create antique looking books that are perfect for decorating shelves, coffee tables, and built-ins without spending a fortune.

If that&#39;s the case, welcome back to my little Magnolia-inspired DIY series!</span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I saved these beautiful wooden wall sconces from Magnolia sometime last year with every intention of recreating them, and I finally got around to making them. I absolutely love the scalloped edge detail and the old-world charm they bring to a space. They have that perfect mix of vintage cottage style and timeless character that makes a room feel instantly cozy.</span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The best part? These DIY wooden wall sconces are surprisingly easy to make and cost a fraction of the price of the originals. If you have some scrap wood sitting around and a couple of hours to spare, this is the perfect budget-friendly home decor project.</span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">After I finished them, I couldn&#39;t decide where I liked them best, so I moved them all around the house and tried them in several different spots. I&#39;m sharing all of those locations at the end of this post, and you&#39;ll have to help me decide which one wins!

I used to tackle a lot of larger woodworking projects, but life has gotten so busy lately that smaller DIY projects seem to happen much more often. This DIY scalloped wooden cookbook stand was the perfect project to scratch that woodworking itch without taking over my entire weekend.</span></div><div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">As you&#39;ve probably noticed, the scalloped decor trend is everywhere right now and I&#39;m completely here for it. From furniture and home decor to kitchen accessories, those charming curved details seem to be popping up everywhere. A few months ago, while browsing Magnolia for inspiration, I came across the cutest scalloped cookbook stand. I instantly fell in love with its cottage-style charm and knew I wanted to create my own DIY version.</span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">This post may contains affiliate links.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGfJPJMelL75PR0J7XUKx2sCzMuZYo8G2cHZ8WRi_8eR6yPfg91Ark-vgM_MKp1Ysv_0hCNuzGGQv04WavZg1KYTjRwZe-PGcsUSLW2zlXZE46slmawKS75Nz91FIAxS-5HQyRUIXwhm74I-RXcnk4ehl_Rh2vcNbR3Q8QyQcApW1f_RYjfAwM1_YnTQpA/s1778/diy-magnolia-inspired-cookbook-stand-25.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img alt="DIY scalloped wooden book stand inspired by Magnolia displayed on styled cottage bookshelves with vintage books and neutral decor." border="0" data-original-height="1778" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGfJPJMelL75PR0J7XUKx2sCzMuZYo8G2cHZ8WRi_8eR6yPfg91Ark-vgM_MKp1Ysv_0hCNuzGGQv04WavZg1KYTjRwZe-PGcsUSLW2zlXZE46slmawKS75Nz91FIAxS-5HQyRUIXwhm74I-RXcnk4ehl_Rh2vcNbR3Q8QyQcApW1f_RYjfAwM1_YnTQpA/s16000/diy-magnolia-inspired-cookbook-stand-25.jpg" title="How to Make a Scalloped Cookbook Stand Magnolia Inspired"></span></a></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So that&#39;s exactly what I did!

I changed the layout of this space last year and I’m still getting used to finding its best camera angles! Along with sharing this room, I’m sharing tips on how to get that effortless cozy cottage feel. If you love cottage living room decor, cozy neutral interiors, vintage cottage style, and collected home decor, these simple ideas can help you create a warm and welcoming space that feels layered over time.</span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">One of my favorite things about cottage style decorating is that it doesn’t have to feel perfect. In fact, the charm comes from mixing old with new, adding meaningful pieces, and creating a home that feels lived in and loved. This room has slowly evolved into one of my favorite spaces in our home with all of the soft textures, warm woods, vintage-inspired decor, and cozy little corners.</span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This post contains affiliate links</span><br><div></div></div><div><span></span></div></div><a href="http://www.thriftyandchic.com/2026/05/how-to-create-cozy-cottage-living-room.html#more">READ THE REST OF THIS POST &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</a>http://www.thriftyandchic.com/2026/05/how-to-create-cozy-cottage-living-room.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alicia@Thrifty And Chic)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307970033172736854.post-116225503314910240Wed, 29 Apr 2026 05:19:00 +00002026-06-09T22:38:34.158-06:005 minute craft5 minute craftscraftcraftsDIYgift guidesgift ideagood ideasholidaysmothers daynapkin crafts<a data-pin-do="buttonBookmark" data-pin-tall="true" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/"></a><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDK98MJOCkSDN4P3V1_KqL5yRBQc7bljDsfV1z2QmZa9Eh-2jCzffoV1IjtOG_bOB6aP0J2e_W_74BrMOQYFv32LEqrMNIjIb0s6p3GgtGcyCeeGWU-RGGxhGjWaXx6Cwb-9IjkixU6-Y9CeIMsPt1b47lDuRPaIc6iGSbiwtVtmwLVTZ4iPuqbUrWplnw/s1500/easy-mothers-day-gifts-kids-can-make-2%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="easy Mother’s Day gifts kids can make including DIY crafts, memory jars, bookmarks, and simple homemade gift ideas" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" data-pin-description="Looking for easy Mother’s Day gifts kids can make?

That wild hair almost extended to putting wallpaper on all my appliances (yes, I was eyeing the fridge too 😅), but my husband put a hard stop on that one. Fair. But the dishwasher? Totally fair game and now it’s one of my favorite little DIY upgrades in the kitchen.</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">A few years ago, I added a <a href="http://www.thriftyandchic.com/2024/09/diy-dishwasher-cover-use-this-hack-to.html" target="_blank">cute apron to it,</a> which I loved, but I was ready for something new with a bit more pattern and that soft, cozy cottage feel. And then I found this wallpaper. You know when you find something and immediately start looking around your house like “where can I use this?” That was me.
