Under the Stairs

Tuesday, February 19th, 2013

The area under our stairs was a real mess. Nice hooks and Flor carpet tile were not doing enough to keep it in check. My husband didn’t see anything wrong with it, but I saw a real failure with the dorm like shoe display. I’ve been hoping to find some kind of industrial storage unit to organize those shoes (we are “no shoes inside” house).

And I lucked out at the Flea Market with these $10 bins. Its hard to photograph this dark spot of our house and this was the best I could do.

TOO by Blu Dot

Did you have any idea that Blu Dot has  a line for Target? I never saw it in stores as its only available online, and I  just realized it existed – wow, how cool! I used this book case on a play room project.

And now I’m jonesing to use other pieces in the collection. Punchy and playful for offices, play rooms, even younger living rooms.

Floating Boxes

I can’t get enough of seeing creatively wall mounted boxes as display shelves. The opportunities are endless.
