Ah, the simple joys of living in a pre-World War Two building. The building I reside in has a gorgeous design, amazing hardwood floors throughout each apartment, ornate interior design on the ceilings and wall, plus terrible plumbing and non-existent storage throughout the apartment. Yes, though many of us love the architectural styles of older buildings, there are a few characteristics I surely wish I could travel back in time to fix.

steel 3 shelf bathroom etagere with glass shelves

My bathroom consists of a single toilet, a stand-alone shower and… well, that’s about it. Oh, my apologies, there is a medicine cabinet too.
But, where does a man like myself store all the extra toilet paper, all the hand soap, all the hand towels, or even some art to liven up the room? I was surely at a loss, and for a short time I just kept all my bathroom supplies in the tiny hall closet (A big problem if you unexpectedly run out of toilet paper).
Luckily for me, my neighbor suggested I take a look at StacksandStacks.com because they have lots of over the toilet étagères and other alternative bathroom storage options.  I was not completely sure what an étagère is, but I trusted her information anyways.
I logged on and discovered what would be the end of my bathroom storage conundrum. The sturdy steel 3 shelf bathroom étagère with glass shelves was the perfect space saving shelving unit for my cramped bathroom.
As I easily installed this over-the-toilet shelf system, I was impressed with the wall fasteners and their ease of installation. Living in Los Angeles, you always have to be weary of items that cannot be fastened down. That alertness goes double for the bathroom; there is nothing worse than tumbling glass shelves falling while you are on the john. It is a fate worse than death.
The stunning glass shelves added a contemporary style to my bathroom, which to say the least, was lacking any style.
So now I enjoy my classic abode, and have all the storage I could ever dream of. Thanks, neighbor!

double shelf lazy susan

My wife is a passionate epicurean, and will spend hours upon hours in the kitchen, coming up with amazing delicacies that tantalize the taste buds and stimulate the senses.  Unfortunately, as a busy attorney, she never has the time to cook on the weekdays. (Most of her recipes require hours of work, I’m telling you she is amazing.) So that leaves Sundays  as the one day of the week that she has the time to prepare such sophisticated and time consuming meals for our enjoyment (the timing of which had become an issue, I’ll explain in a bit). Unfortunately my wife is also very short, and our cupboards very tall, so she is constantly calling me into the kitchen to help her find the vanilla, or find the oregano, etcetera, etcetera.
Now, this spice exploration is not a problem most days, but (like I mentioned before), Sundays in the fall are the days that I have specifically designated to be glued to the sofa. You see, I am an avid fantasy football professional, and Sundays in the fall are game days! I simply cannot be bothered with all this searching for spices, because I might miss the key play that changes the progression of my fantasy career for years to come (Yes, I have to be there to watch it).
I needed to find a partner my wife could trust to supply her with the spices she so seriously seeks. Enter the double shelf lazy susan, the saving grace to my fantasy career.  This nifty space saver has two levels for the ultimate in spice storage, and spins so my wife does not need me to come in and find her ingredients. Made from acrylic, this turntable is way sturdier than what you typically expect from a lazy Susan; it is not flimsy in the least bit! I found this incredible tool over at StacksandStacks.com.

Adjustable Bathtub Shelf

Sharing the bath tub area with your significant other can make things pretty crowded. Throw in a couple of kids and you have an outright land war between the Head and Shoulders, Aveeno Shaving Cream and the Johnson and Johnson Baby Shampoo. Bathtubs are only built to store a finite amount of bottles, and our tub was reaching critical mass. Luckily for me, my family and our bath tub, there was a simple, easy answer to my storage woes.
With its versatile design and excellent storage capabilities, the adjustable bathtub shelf ended up being the perfect way to store all of the different soap and shampoo bottles my family uses, without needing to make major renovations on the bathroom! This bathroom shelf can be stretched out wide to span the width of the bathtub, providing a “bridge” of sorts to store your soap, shampoo, loofas and razors while you shower or bathe. This adjustable metal shelf will fit into any bathtub with a width from 20″ x 25.5” (which is just about every bathtub in the world, save for you spoiled “Jacuzzi tub” owners, who probably don’t need the extra bathroom storage anyways!) by stretching from the rim on one side to the rim on the other.
The shelf is made from a really sturdy metal and has a rubberized coating, which is what allows it to “stick” to the tub so well. At first I was worried it would just slide right off the side of my tub, but the rubberized coating has just the perfect amount of “stickiness” to keep it situated on the tub. At 5” wide, it is just wide enough for all of my shampoo bottles. (Although Costco sized bottles are probably too heavy to be supported, so stick to non-jumbo bottles.) I found this unique bathroom storage accessory at StacksandStacks.com.

Have you ever had the need for a bookcase in your home? Everyone certainly has, but how about a book case that can be broken down in mere seconds, transported, and then reassembled with ease? Yes, it’s possible, and I’ve discovered how.

The world of folding bookcases was unknown to me, perhaps it is to you. But once you research the incredible benefits of a terrific “folder”, you’ll be amazed you hadn’t heard of them sooner. Everyone should consider adding a folding bookcase or two to their homes! I selected a classic 4 tier corner bookcase for my condo, and it’s worked wonders to add visual flair and intrigue to my standard, run-of-the-mill decor. It actually worked so well, I’ve decided to use them in every room in the house. I’m creating a library comprised of folding bookcases!

Folding Bookcases

They are so strong! My 3 tier folding bookcase, which I purchased at Stacks and Stacks at a very reasonable price, is constructed of bamboo, which is just great. It looks like regular wood, but it’s just really so much better. What is so great about collapsible, folding bookcases is that they are always generally readily available in many different colors, and constructed of many different materials, perfect for all the different rooms in my home!

Next, installation! It’s incredibly easy. When I installed my folding bookcase, I thought it would fall apart — how could something that is folded flat ever become a bookcase that could carry my have tomes and noels — but it did. Boy did it! In fact, you’re free to place anything you want on these powerful bookshelves, from houseplants to picture frames to candles! The options are limitless!

I did not think it would be possible, but I added a folding bookcase to my home!

You can too.

Folding Shelves

Last time I moved, I had all my stuff shipped freight across the whole country. After three days sleeping on a yoga mat at my old place, a week in a tiny hotel room with no kitchen and three more days on the floor in my new apartment, I was yearning for peace and comfort in familiar surroundings.

When my things finally arrived, I didn’t care that I had to unpack and organize for hours on end, I just wanted to recreate that tranquil harbor I had back in New York. Unfortunately, some things didn’t make it in one piece. I suspect they had my stuff come on a six-horse carriage over the mountains, through the rocky deserts and across a few rivers.

It took two weeks, you know. Of course, I had shipping insurance, but those guys were sly. They specifically listed all particle board items as not covered due to “inherent weakness of materials.” That took care of my now three-legged computer desk, my cracked entryway table and my two bookcases, which were completely destroyed.

So much for getting a break on shipping costs.

I was mostly devastated about the bookshelves, because they had tons of storage space and once looked pretty sleek. I soon realized that I was definitely going to move out of this always cold and damp apartment in no more than a year, so I needed to find a solution to the moving issue once and for all.

I did some research and decided to opt for collapsible furniture made of solid wood. While big wooden dining tables, armoires and futons would generally cost an arm and a leg, things like folding shelves were refreshingly affordable at Stacks and Stacks and still looked like a million bucks. I now appreciate the ease with which I can rearrange my living room without having to ask anybody for help. I also love the fact that I finally have some quality pieces to my name. Last but not least, when the time comes to move again, the experience will be a lot more pleasant.

Here’s a great tip for keeping your bathroom clean and tidy, as well as looking terrific!  Think about adding an etagere!

They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are made of wood, some plastic, some are even made of metal. But my favorite, and in my personal opinion, the best looking one, has got to be the one that is built out of glass and metal.

Ellipse 4 Tier Shelf

I purchased the ellipse 4 tier glass shelf and transformed my plain jane bathroom onto a deluxe, fancy bathroom that reminds me of staying in a hotel. It looks great holding towels and soap. And it looks great as well when you put towels in it.

What is also pretty terrific about having an etagere in the bathroom is the easy way you can just grab what you need and it is right there.  You don’t need to go into a drawer or closet to find what you are looking for.  It is all literally right there.

There are also easy to clean, and that is a nice benefit, because all that glass seems like it would be difficult to keep looking its best, but no, in fact it is extremely easy to clean.

My wife really likes the way the silver frame looks.  It is a little bit futuristic to me, but she says it looks European. Our guests comment on it as well, saying things like they like it, and where did we get it.  It’s nice to have fancy things that people like, and people seem to really like our etagere.

So that is my tip: if you want to make your bathroom just great looking, and also really easy to clean and organize, make sure you get an etagere. I found a great one I love at Stacks and Stacks.

You can too.

Decorating with a wall mounted glass wall shelf if a great way to create storage or display space without compromising on style. The glass design creates an uncluttered, floating look. This makes it a great addition to a smaller space like a bathroom where you need streamlined storage. Though featuring a modern design, it’s easy to pair sleek glass with more traditional décor.

Rectangular Glass Shelf Kit

Looking for extra storage space for toiletries or bath towels? Try a shelf like the Rectangular Glass Shelf Kit – Wall Mounted that gives you easy access to everyday essentials. By placing it up high on the wall inside the shower opposite the shower head you can store shampoo or towels in a very convenient place where everything can stay dry. Simply roll up some fresh towels and stack them on top so they’re ready to grab after your next shower!

Creating interesting and easy to use storage in the kitchen can be a challenge. Cabinets can limit wall space and free areas often require shallow shelving that doesn’t get in the way. A narrow glass shelf can be placed beneath a cabinet or on an empty wall to store cooking tools or spices. Use it to display your collection of coffee mugs in an easy to reach place.

Buy multiple rectangular glass shelf kits and stack them one on top of another to create all the custom storage you need. Try arranging them at different levels in a staggered pattern to create a focal point. Using wall shelves to display framed photos or a collection of vases is a versatile option. Since you don’t need to a hook in the wall it’s easy to change the arrangement. Create a custom arrangement large enough to fill a living room wall or compact enough to provide storage in an entryway. Find them at Stacks and Stacks!

When a shelf is needed it is needed for there is no time to waste.  “Where is my shelf?” is heard.  Crying.  This is not what is needed to be heard when shelves are an abundant part of the on-line world, as costs that are reasonable, and shelves are easy to order.  When they are looking for a 4 shelf system, can it be difficult?  Not at this time.  Just wait!

Coughing and sneezing and hacking and wheezing. It’s awful. And this season has been a real doozy for people getting sick. It’s outrageous how vicious and determined this cold and flu bug must be. Influenza and the common cold. Vicious, evil, deadly killers. Or at least killers of time. If we could estimate the time used up by America’s workforce being sick, you’d be blown away. Well over 16,000,000,000 hours, which translates to 126 billion dollars in sick time spread over a 12 month period. Can you imagine? It’s enough to make you sick! And it’s not just the days spent out that are killing the country, it’s time spent in the office or out shopping, with the coughing and sneezing and hacking and wheezing. It spreads the deadly influenza and common cold like a plague, which it is. And I can tell you, no one likes listening to someone cough, sneeze, hack, or wheeze. I sure don’t like listening to it. It’s disgusting. And that’s why a medicine shelf is a must for these people. A shelf on which to stack all those medications, elixirs, and nonsense that the pharmaceutical companies have assured sick people will “cure” them. Shelves exactly like the Easy To Assemble Recessed Medicine Cabinet from our friends at Stacks and Stacks.

It keeps everything the sick need to get well, right there on a shelf, where they need it. With these wonderful Recessed Medicine Cabinets there is no need to hire an installer. You can mount them yourself with ease. Simply find the studs in your wall, cut a hole into the dry wall using a drywall knife, apply the adhesive that comes with each cabinet, and slide the adhesive ready cabinet carefully into the hole. Ahh…simplicity at it’s best! And because each cabinet is made from high quality wood (Oak and Maple) you can rest assured knowing that your custom medicine cabinet will last. The cabinets are available in a host of colors, and each cabinet comes with one tube of adhesive. But I don’t need this shelf, as I don’t subscribe to this phantom floating cold and flu virus theory. I believe strongly that these “sick” people are just suffering from excessive internal psychological pain and upset. I firmly believe that all of this illness is psychosomatic. MENTAL and EMOTIONAL STRESS are the true cause. How else to explain why EVERYONE doesn’t get sick from these lethal cold and flu virus seasons, even in close quarters with the “sick”. Because they don’t. No shelf enthusiasts, I’m here to tell you — the “sick” are only sick in the head. Some doctors will tell you the truth, that when a weakened immune system is susceptible to normal, average, everyday viruses — that immune system was weakened by emotional stress and mental upset. Doctors like John Sarno, MD, who will tell you, right to your face, that your “sickness” is all psychological, metal, emotional. So get over it, America. In today’s turbulent economic climate, there is no time for either a workforce out sick, or emotional cry-babies. Because they are the same thing. And they’re wasting everyone’s time. So get Dr. Sarno’s book, and put it right on your bookshelf. Forget that medicine shelf. Even one as cool as the Easy To Assemble Recessed Medicine Cabinet. And so on.

The Easy To Assemble Recessed Medicine Cabinet.  Highly Recommended.

For me, it’s BLACK AND WHITE. I’ve used this blog to wage war against untidy living; against clutter; disorganization; sloth. I don’t apologize for it. I use this forum as a sounding board for ideas that I hope reach a needy nation: a nation needy for the information I transmit regarding the ways of tidiness. Organization. “Clean”. Shelves are BY DEFINITION a way to stay organized, and it hurts a little when I think about the masses, the cluttered masses, that could easily change their experience simply by engaging in the battle against “messy”. By transforming their lives to a clean, pure, happy existence. By using shelves. BLACK AND WHITE.

Shelves for the bathroom REALLY help. Bathroom Corner Shelves are a godsend. You have that corner just sitting there, waiting to be utilized and maximized by becoming a station for shelves and shelving units — to be filled with items that usually clutter the bathrooms of the untidy.

This model in particular is suburb for taking the fight directly to the disastrous uncleanliness of a disorganized bathroom. It’s a Bathroom Corner Shelf, and one with a difference. I found it while surfing the web over at StacksAndStacks.com. It’s a crisp white corner shelf that boasts solid metal construction. That’s good. It also features and a white powder coat finish — one that guarantees long-term durability. Three wire shelves are where its at for the bathroom, and the white bathroom shelf has them in triplicate. Easy to clean, they won’t allow liquids to pool, and they’re stylish. Not much more you could ask for. And so on.

The Bathroom Corner Shelf. Recommended.
