Two of Two for Tuesday - Shelves

I was flipping through a magazine (of course I can't remember which one anymore, and the photo was already cropped.)... but look at this shelving!

I know it's been done before, and I've seen something similar at Ikea, and on Trading Spaces... but I just loved how this shelf grouping is set up.

I'm thinking a whole wall of shelves like this... perhaps I could assemble them on the ground then mount (to avoid a zillion holes in the wall) and paint some with flowers and leave some plain with just a clear coat or white wash. I love what they did with them in this picture, color wise. I could frame a few out with molding and put pictures or a mirror in them... make a whole focal shelf wall. Ooooh... I smell a project :) And in my office, I can customize my wall o' shelves to include ribbon dowels, hooks, large shelves for my jars (we don't have earthquakes in NC! woohoo! hehe) and other fun little cubbies. And in the bathroom... and in the...

Yep, I think I like them.

Magazine Monday - a little blue

I've only met one person in my life who dislikes the color blue... and she was very passionate about it. Otherwise, I think everyone has a blue room... even if it's the palest iceberg blue in a tiny powder room. Blue and green are my favorite colors... I have about 12 used gallons of paint in my basement to prove it... and I like to go dark and bold ;)

Magazine Monday - focus on purple

I love purple... but I can't seem to commit to it! :)
