All Discounted Sales are Final!
I fell in love with the “joy” of organization long before I even understood the concept. I’ve just naturally 😆been a bit obsessed with “everything has a place; and everything in it’s place”… or was that my Dad’s voice and mantra drilling it into me as a child? Regardless… I now embrace my “itchy fingers” to clean out a friends hoarding ways or re-invent a garage or closet of un-named relatives 😉.
When we generally think of organization… those out-of-the-way closets, drawers or boxes come to mind…but I want to address the fun ways we can achieve this in plain sight! 👀 Shelves come in all different shapes, sizes and materials in today’s modern world and we no longer are stuck in the quagmire of pressed wood wrapped in laminate or ventilated wire shelving tucked away behind closed doors! 🚪 In the following post I’ll share a few of my favorite “outside-the-box” shelf organization finds… I hope you enjoy them as much as I did finding them!

This is nothing like the dorm room I had when I was in college! It’s more of the glammed up version which your Mom had designed for you! Love it! I’d go back to school for this! OK, just kidding. Photo: Found on JustAddBlog

So quirky and cute! Take a narrow unused space…add some industrial shelving with a bit of raw wood thrown in…and you’ve got extra storage for dish ware – and wine 🍷. This becomes a part of the home decor and not just boring shelves for storage. Photo: Andrea Papini for Elle Decoration
