I love shelves.
The shelving that people choose and the way they arrange things on their shelves reveals a lot. Some like to have all their books in alphabetical order, never to be disturbed again. Others have shelves that are works-in-progress, the objects moving around so much they never have a chance to get dusty. I once knew someone who had beautiful, custom-made shelves that were empty save for each day’s newspapers and dirty clothes that he threw on/at them. No other piece of furniture allows for so many different options, moods and changes like a shelf does.
This blog will examine and celebrate what different people do with their shelves — the possessions they display and the ways they choose to present them, whether carefully considered or haphazardly nonchalant. Please stay tuned.
