Walls! So boring! 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 improvement fans 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. Some “experts” believe plastic or space-age polymer shelves are the way to go, for strength and style. I disagree, though I value the “expert” 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, because “experts” 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.

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. It allows you the full freedom and convenience of customization. Feel free to stack MULTIPLE UNITS together for even more storage options! And of course it’s perfect for all those VHS Machines, DvD Disk Players, Stereo Components and other Media Accessories that the modern world demands we use. STACKS has noted that all the mounting hardware is included, with pre-drilled holes for easy assembly, and that’s a great convenience for rapid installation (in minutes, I’ve heard, requiring no power tools). 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.

They say winning isn’t everything. And that is true, but only to a point. Because sometimes you just win – and sometimes you win a trophy. (Losers tend not to win trophies, not only because contests seldom hand out trophies to losers, but because losers wouldn’t have the drive to win even if they won for losing.)

If you have any proficiency at winning, you’ve certainly racked up a few of these personal treasures in your day. Large, small, gold-plated or plastic, it really doesn’t matter – because you won. And there is nothing more uplifting than seeing the fruits of your victory up on a shelf. It’s almost as good as the actual moment you won, except you have the luxury to do it anytime you wish, without any effort.

Ah, the trophy shelf. It’s a time-honored tradition for winners both young and old. Any room of the home is perfect for a trophy shelf. Some winners actually have trophy ROOMS, with multiple shelves.

Are you a winner? Starting a new trophy shelf of your own? Might I suggest these simple, yet durable units from the fine folks at STACKS AND STACKS?

Look at them: stylish, sturdy, and sports themed! You’d be hard pressed to find a cooler lot of trophy-ready wall shelves, and these wall shelves have a lot of cool! Click on over and take a look at basketball, baseball, or soccer! (Sorry, football.)

If I could trade all the shelves in the world, all of them, and in exchange I could erase one thing right off the face of the earth, it would be driftwood. I hate driftwood. Driftwood is creepy to look at, no one knows where it comes from, and it killed my cousin Peter’s parents. Violently. I hate driftwood. Driftwood is wood that has been washed onto a shore or beach of a sea or river by the action of winds, tides, waves or man. It is a form of marine debris. To say the least. In some waterfront areas, driftwood is a major nuisance. However, the driftwood provides shelter and food for birds, fish and other aquatic species as it floats in the ocean. Gribbles, shipworms and bacteria decompose the wood and gradually turn it into nutrients that are reintroduced to the food web. Sometimes, the partially decomposed wood washes ashore, where it also shelters birds, plants, and other species. Driftwood can become the foundation for sand dunes. Or, quite hellishly, a 4-Shelf Etagere Book Case from Stacks and Stacks Dot Com.

According to Norse mythology, the first humans, Ask and Embla, were formed out of two pieces of driftwood, an ash and an elm, by the god Odin and his brothers, Ve and Vili. Well, you need not be the first humans to buy this solid wood bookshelf, but you won’t be the last either, because it will give your home a storage solution that’s like an original work of art! The cubbies that make up this wooden bookcase are perfectly sized to showcase decorative home accessories, store linens, or hold books, albeit ones made out of strange wood. Authentic metal hardware adorns the front of the book shelves, lending a rustic look with old-world charm. Charming, so charming. This beautiful etagere is available in 3-shelf and 4-shelf styles. Due to its “unique materials” and construction, they want you to know that slight design and color variations may occur with each book case. I want you to know that I hate driftwood. And so on.

Modern art is mind blowing. It’s not only art, but it is indeed modern. Not only modern, because it was made recently, in modern times, but because it is modern in its thought and thinking and execution. Modern. Shelves Blog is modern, modern in the sense that there weren’t blogs around in the days of Picassa and Remebrante and Van Ghoe. Those fellows had to promote their art without the ease and simplicity of the internet. Suckers. Modern art, while sometimes bizarre and creepy, is also space-age and, in a word, modern. Modern! You have to take the good with the bad, just as in life: for every masterpiece like the one pictured above, you have to deal with a kooky wacko like Warhall. But it’s okay, because sometimes, when great ideas like modern art combine with the glorious simplicity of the shelf, something happens that is nothing short of magic. Magic! I was surfing the site called Stacks and Stacks, looking specifically for modern works of art in their shelves sections, and just look at what I found. In one word: perfection. In four words: Suchow Reversible Display Shelf. Don’t let you eyes fool you, this shelf is real, and is modern, and looks like this amazing modern art painting. Amazing.

The great charm of this unbelievably versatile Suchow display shelf is many. Many. It’s unique because it can be viewed from both sides, thus serving as a room divider as well! Imagine! Furniture placement can be so limited due to unsightly furniture backing; however, with this display rack you can admire collectibles from both sides! Modern! This display unit also makes a lovely baker’s rack or bookshelf. Lovely! Modern! Practical storage of items such as books and dishes can be stored; or decorative vases and sculptures can be placed on the shelves for admiration of both sides. That’s terrific! The rack is constructed of solid Chinese Basswood, with a black lacquer finish and two drawers the open on either side. The irregularity, or, dare I say MODERN design of the display shelves completes the piece’s modern theme! And how. And so on.

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.

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.

Forget all that doom and gloom — go ahead and make a bold statement! This amazing shelving unit is constructed of sturdy northern hardwoods, the very hardwoods that will disappear when seas rise.

Best of all, you can order the unit in either Unfinished wood or these killer finishes: Natural, Walnut, White, Dark Cherry, Black, Chocolate, Honey and Mahogany! And until the end of days, it’ll make a great addition to your home or office! 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.

And that’s why you’ve come to Shelves Blog Dot Com: perfection. I’m happy to help, because perfection is my business. And my business is good. If I could pass on one bit advice to my readers domestic and international, it would be this. Never be discouraged. Never give up.

EVER. It’s not how hard you can hit, it’s how hard you can get hit AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD. Forward to the correct shelf. Which, in all probability looks VERY similar to this Venezia Deluxe Shelf from Stacks And Stacks.

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.
