Since I was a young boy, let’s say 2, no, let’s say 1, I’ve loved shelves and shelf organizing. They are my life. My mission. So many people here on earth wander aimlessly, not knowing their reason for being. Suckers. For me it’s simple. Thanks to the miraculous invention of the common shelf, I will have a purpose in my life, until my life ends. And when it does, I have left specific instructions to Jennifer, my sister, to place my cremated remains into an urn — and place that urn onto a shelf. And there I will sit, for as long as my relatives carry on, hopefully passed down through the ages. Resting on a shelf. It will be a just reward for my lifetime spent in service of the shelf. I often wonder where and when my life will come to a close, if I will have done enough organizing, if I have spread the word about shelf organizing to enough people, and what type of shelf I will end up on. These are deep, deep thoughts — but necessary ones. I enjoyed Cremation Urns Dot Net’s take on the subject: “Go with your heart.” Radical, but correct. They speak very highly of keeping urns on shelves, and give helpful examples in their “Options for display inside the home” section. Now, no one can control the future, but if I could actually chose the shelf in which to be deposited, I would definitely chose this BLOMUS Wall-Mounted Glass Shelf from the website Stacks and Stacks.

It’s a stylish way to spend the afterlife, and having lived a stylish life, that’s the afterlife for me. This Wall-Mounted Glass Shelf is a sleek wall-mounted glass shelf unit that gives you functional storage and display options. This frosted glass shelf is accented by stainless steel mounting - which makes it pitch-perfect ideal in the bathroom for towels and toiletries, in the bedroom for accessories, or in any room for collectibles or supplies. Or my relatives wall, for my urn and earthly remains. But, of course, more importantly than all of the functionalities, this shelf is classy. It’s a reflection of me, actually, and it’s a good fit. I’ll have to pass that info on to Jennifer soon, because you never know how much time you have left. And so on. Sometimes.

Sometimes, you need to call into question the fine art of naming objects. The ones that are locked in, like Banana, or River, or Tree, we can do nothing about. These items were named millions of years ago. But what about more modern names? Like when a company decides to name a superior, dynamic and contemporary shelf something that just doesn’t fit? Look at this incredible Floating Glass Wall Shelf I found at Stacks and Stacks. What comes to mind when you look at it?

Take a close look. Look carefully at its fine tempered glass; its elegant silver painted metal clips; its smooth pedestal platform. What springs to mind? If you said “peach”, you’d be crazy. As crazy as the creators of this impeccable, amazing glass floating wall shelf. BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY NAMED IT. They somehow think this stylish beauty in some way resembles a peach. Poor job, fellas. Very poor. To be fair, I’m not too excited by my creators naming me Richard Parker, but I don’t look like a peach, either.

Stacks and Stacks wisely chose NOT to call this masterpiece a “peach”. They correctly label it a Floating Wall Shelf with Double Clip Support. Seems to fit a little better, eh? No question. And let’s not forget that this floating wall shelf features glass that is .31″ thick. Temper the fact that it was named “peach” with the fact that it features .31″ tempered glass. Alright, I know you’ve been thinking it. And I’m with you. Let’s come right out and mention the obvious — this Floating Glass Wall Shelf looks nothing like a peach. It looks like the U.S.S. Enterprise.  And so on.

Often I’ll find myself looking at blank wall, staring actually, for hours on end, wondering how I can improve on it. To improve on it without overdoing it, mind you, without killing what makes a bare wall attractive in the first place. As I was staring at my living room wall this afternoon, it struck me that the wall needs support, in the form of a glass shelf. Then it struck me that as a matter of fact, the GLASS SHELF would need support in the form of metal hangers, to remain a hanging shelf. Then it struck me that I need support in the form of psychiatric counseling. But first things first, I need to find a glass shelf to fit this wall.

Perfect. After looking at shelves designed for garages, some for laundry rooms, some for kitchens, and some for the closet, I found the perfect wall shelf at Stacks and Stacks. It’s called the Glass Shelf with Metal Support, and it’s going to really add some dynamic flair to the blank wall. And functionality. This Glass Shelf is available with a Brushed Nickel or Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish, but I wouldn’t be doing my job if I neglected to point you in the direction of the Brushed Nickel version; Oil Rubbed Bronze is not well-suited for wall hangings. The Glass Shelf may slip. So be careful, home improvers, and enjoy this Glass Shelf, and your new non-bare wall.

We’ve all seen them. Suspension bridges. Bridges where the main weight-bearing elements are hung beneath suspension cables. It’s a tried and true triumph of physics and design, and the basic principle behind the mighty suspension bridge has now been miniaturized. Thankfully, mercifully, and I should add, innovative-ly, the technology is being utilized for SHELF HANGING purposes. Safe, secure, stylish — I have to say I am pleasantly surprised to see that while the basic and timeless hallmarks of the wall shelf remain intact, a bold new level of visual interest has been achieved. Well done. Very well done.

CABLE SHELF BRACKETS. There they are, packaged and ready to go. This cutting edge technology has now been made available to the general public, and can be ordered via our friends at STACKS AND STACKS. The BRACKETS are at once modern and timeless, and are able to accommodate any shelf from 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick shelf. (Glass works best. Tempered glass even better.) Needless to say, the cables are tough, durable, and ready to work. How tough? Stainless steel with aluminum fittings tough. The BRACKETS can support up 100 pounds if installed correctly into a wall stud, depending on the style of shelf you use.

If, for some reason, you don’t have the prerequisite glass shelves handy, please don’t fret. Once again, the team at STACKS AND STACKS have come to the rescue. Available now: RECTANGULAR GLASS SHELVES that come complete with the CABLE SHELF BRACKETS. Everything you need, all in one place. (Which also could be said for STACKS, but there’s no reason to call attention to the obvious.) Highly Recommended.

Wedge shapes are part of the natural world. We come in contact with them each and every day. Imagine your life without them – no pizza slices, no pie.

A wedge shape is not only an integral part of the world’s geometry, it is a delightful way to bring a shelving option to a corner that lacks pizzazz. A wedge shape is a great way to maximize empty space, a space exactly like a corner. And it’s the wedge shape that fits the corner perfectly, as if the wedge was made specifically for the corner. Wedge, meet corner. Corner, meet the amazing Floating Corner Shelf.

If you enjoy a shelf constructed of delightful tempered glass and tough metal, you’ll enjoy this masterpiece. Here at ShelvesBlog, we find the “floating” design to be the most eye-catching of all wall shelves. They’re strong, yes. They hold anything a regular shelf can, sure. But by giving the impression of “floating”, they challenge your perceptions of gravity. It’s an illusion, of course. This Floating Corner Shelf is a master of illusion.

If your home has the zest of modern décor, and you’re in the market for shelves, I would say it is an absolute must to consider the Floating Corner Shelf. Not only is it terrific looking, not only glass, not only “floating”, but it’s a wedge. Wedge shapes are part of the natural world. Make this Floating Corner Shelf part of your world. Recommended.
