Convenience is the name of the game. And really, now that I reflect on it, Convenience is at the heart of all shelves. Consider for a moment: what is a shelf but a perfectly designed way to make your home, office, the grocery store, videocassette rental center, or library convenient? If we weren’t looking for the convenience shelves graciously offer, we as a people would just remand everything to unceremonious boxes. There would be boxes everywhere. But alas, we don’t, and alas, shelves serve a terrific purpose. You know, everyone’s home or office can always use a little extra space here and there. Organizing space. Space to spread out. To make things convenient. The kind of space that fits right where you need it, adds a few inches of pure, pristine space. Shelf space. Wouldn’t a little extra space be marvelous? Marvelously convenient? Yes, it would be. And yes, it is.

While holiday shopping over at STACKS AND STACKS, I stumbled onto this amazing little shelf. I promised marvelous? Indeed. And it has to be as such, for it bears the name, and that name is THE MARVELOUS MODERN MODULAR MEDIA SHELF. Sly and stylish, the SHELF is perfectly designed to blend in with your pre-existing workspace and home decor. It can stand alone as a helpful addition, or can be mounted under existing cabinets and shelves. Full customization, thats what the THE MARVELOUS MODERN MODULAR MEDIA SHELF offers.

This terrific shelf solution is available in your choice of Black, White, Maple or Walnut — and that pretty much closes the case. THE MARVELOUS MODERN MODULAR MEDIA SHELF is modern, modular, marvelous, and perfect for your media. Best of all? It’s convenient. Recommended.

I read an article today that chilled me to the bone. It froze me with fear. It covered me with a frost of dread. It turns out all of man’s innovations like chimney smoke, factories and gasoline are ruining the environment. All of these innovations are melting the polar ice caps. The actual ice that makes up the north and south poles. These ice shelves will then raise the ocean level, killing us all. After the water rises, and dry land becomes the most precious commodity on the planet, bands of thieving, dangerous nomads will sail the globe, attacking the survivors. It will be a living hell, an unbearable living nightmare, a nightmare in which the living envy the dead. We as humans will have effectively ruined the very place we were born, destroying our place in the universe forever. The good news is that until then we can still order shelves for the home, shelves not unlike these terrific deluxe 4-level floating wall shelf from Stacks And Stacks.

I was trying to count the number of ways a person could uses shelves in the home, while cleaning out my shelf library, and I was deep in thought. There are two concepts that trouble me, while giving me peace at the same time. ONE: the fact that there is an UNKNOWABLE number of ways to use shelves. TWO: the fact that if you begin cleaning and organizing, THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO CLEAN. These two concepts share equal ground, and that ground is INFINITY. Infinity. It’s almost too hard a concept to wrap your mind around, a concept that would take an infinity to understand completely. But here we all are, trying to get by, everyday we go about organizing and finding new uses for shelves, while the great and all-consuming concept of INFINITY rests just out of sight. It’s always there. And it always will be. I’ll just have to accept that. But you know I won’t accept anything but the finest in shelves, and I’ve found just that at Stacks And Stacks.

This is infinity terrific Wall Shelf Slash Display Ledge from Stacks And Stacks. And besides the simple fact that it holds 50 pounds (50!), it comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes! A not completely, but ALMOST infinite number of choices! Look here: natural, white, dark cherry, black, and honey — that’s a variety of finishes, it is. Not to mention this shelf comes in your choice of lengths: 20 or 24 inches. And that’s really special. So if you, like me, are having trouble reconciling the nature of infinity and the universe itself, it’s nice to know that some things never change. Like the durable simplicity of a great shelf. And a great shelf this is. To infinity and beyond, and so on.

The sheer frustration connected with the inability to find a perfect shelf is a maddening experience — not unlike a powerful vice that crushes the human spirit, crippling in its effect on the psyche, horrendous in the totality of its absolute hellishness.

Cartoons terrify me. They are the EXACT, POLAR OPPOSITE of shelves and shelf organization. They are hand-drawn, non-existent, intangible. They are meaningless, frivolous, and empty. Whereas shelves and shelving units are durable, functional, stylish, bold, and assist in keeping one’s life organized and tidy, these horrible cartoons do nothing but defeat the purpose of spare time. Time which is allotted by the creator for CLEANING and ORGANIZING. Certainly not for watching hand-drawn (or heaven forbid, COMPUTER-drawn) cartoons frolic and have adventures and tell jokes and fall off cliffs. I’ll put a tall cabinet, wall mount shelving, wood wall shelving, or any other wall shelving systems up against any of these cartoons, any day of the week. If you could open my mind and peer into my darkest nightmare, you’d see this:

Not pretty. Not at all. And that’s why I was so torn while surfing the values contained within Stacks And Stacks’ “Wood and Composite Wood Wall Shelves” section. I stumbled across a pair of 2 Wall Scones. I was intrigued after setting eyes on the item’s smaller “thumbnail” (a computer insider term), so I clicked through to view the entire item. I was instantly taken aback. Shocked. The two opposite sides of my mind completed for dominance; I was unsure how to proceed. Here was a Wall Sconce that was old-world classic, eye-catching, and featured plenty of customizability. And yet, it was represented not by a photograph, but — chillingly — by a cartoon:

I have no idea why the company responsible for this great set of Wall Sconces decided to go with a cartoon for their product’s advertisements, but at the end of the day, I have to thank them. They allowed me the opportunity to face my fear; to push back against the wall of fire in my mind; to temporarily disconnect my hatred and distrust of hand drawn cartoons. And I did. I ordered six sets worth of these terrific looking sconces. Friends, when your mind is locked in a deadly battle against itself, tearing apart the very fabric of it’s own existence, struggling for control of your very soul, there is a simple cure. Spend money. I did, and I feel great. And so on.

It’s the age-old dilemma. So many friends and neighbors have asked me exactly how to find the best type of wall shelf. Well, if we are going to take into account floating wall shelves as a category in our quest, or wooden wall shelves as well, then the solution is simple — surprise, it’s just that: a floating wall shelf. It’s an inevitability that soon or later all home improvers must grapple with: there’s no better way to add functionality to your walls (without the use of a classic “bookcase”) than the wall shelf. The floating wall shelf. There’s no way around a wall shelf if you’re looking for the finest in wall shelves.

Toolmonger has an interesting theory that PLASTIC is a great interweave to support and add durability to the shelf as a whole. I disagree, though I value Toolmonger’s opinion. Wall shelves, specifically floating wall shelves, should be wood. Constructed of wood.

Not entirely unlike the look of this Floating Wall Shelf from StacksAndStacks.com. The look of custom shelving with those in-demand Architectural Elements built right in. And built of wood. It would be stating the obvious to say that these wall shelves add character and elegance to your home or office, but I’ll spell it out, as Toolmonger disagrees with my premise. The uses you’ll find for a 36″ shelf are legion; the versatility is unlimited — no — limited only by the limits of your imagination. Book, vases, everything, anything. I implore you to consider the Floating Wall Shelf in your hunt for the finest Wall Shelf. By all means, do your own research, but consider it nonetheless. You’ll be glad you did. And so on.

I’ve seen a Corner Shelf that holds 50 pounds. There’s no reason to dispute it: I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I have 3 in my home, and 2 at my island retreat, the property known as GoldenIreland. Once or twice a year I’ll make it down to the island to relax, retreat, and refresh. But being out on an island doesn’t mean you can’t organize! There’s always organization to be done, whether you have corner shelves around for use, or not. (Luckily, I did.) You know, Coney Island is a place that needs LOTS of organization. Let’s wish them luck with their Island. I don’t know if corner shelves can help them.

For OUR needs, there is a perfect solution to clutter, the solution I mentioned before. The Corner Shelf that Supports 50 Pounds. Trust me, I know from experience, these shelves are easy to install and look great, too. They boast a terrific hidden mounting system, one that cleverly employs a patented slide-and-slot method of mounting. What that means in a nutshelf: no screws, connectors, or other means of support are visible. As the shelf is locked to the hidden connector and the hidden connector is locked to the wall, you’ve achieved corner shelf perfection. (Perfection always comes with a price, though: the shelf won’t mount into cement or thick plastered walls. Sorry, Pasadena.) This is a shelf that is up to the challenge, especially if that challenge is supporting 50 pounds worth of material. It is what it does, and it does what it is. And so on.

Corner Shelves. Highly Recommended.

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.

Oftentimes people will come up to me, desperate people, they’ll come up to me on the street and beg to know the secret of keeping a clean laundry room. It happens so often that I’m seriously thinking about printing up little cards with the answer, to hand out instead of taking time away from my delicious meals, grocery shopping, bird watching. The answer couldn’t be more simple: get everything up off the floor. You would think that common sense would kick in for the average joe trying to clean a laundry room, but if the average joe had common sense, then there wouldn’t be a need for Shelves Blog Dot Com. Get everything up off the floor, and organize the items according to what you use the most versus what you use the least. Meaning the soap and laundry items you use frequently, put those items where you can reach them in a hurry. Items like Cat Urine Remover, items that you might use less often, put higher up. Simple. Easy. Organized.

To really get to the bottom of your Laundry Room’s optimal organization state, you should really look into purchasing this delightful Laundry Shelf System from the website called Stacks and Stacks. It comes complete. That’s actually is an understatement. IT COMES COMPLETELY COMPLETE. How complete? Prepare yourself. The Laundry Shelf System includes: 3 White Plastic Panels (each 21″H x 24″W), 2 Large Two-Tiered Shelves, 1 Paper Towel Holder/Shelf, 1 Basket with Clips, 1 Large Parts Bin, 2 Large Hooks, and 4 Small Hooks. That’s as “one-stop shopping” as you’re going to find. The average joe may want his laundry detergent to be included in the “complete” package as well, but that’s crazy. As crazy as asking me about the secrets to laundry room organization while I’m eating.
