Office (and more) inspirations at West Elm

So, the other weekend, I got to cruise through West Elm for the first time! so.much.to.love.

And look! A slight variation of those shelves we talked about last week!

love.

Office Inspirations

I would *love* to transform the open space just at the top of our stairs into a lovely office/craft area. It's pretty teeny, though, so there's not much floor space for shelves. So, the answer: wall-mounted shelves!

Unfortch, the hubs hates the under-shelf style of brackets, and also the kind where you've got a full track to suspend these from. So... ta-da, Ikea to the rescue with attractive brackets + shelves!


See those ones on the left of each of the photos -- clean lines! sturdy-looking! and not priced too high: $20 for a set of the brackets + a 31 1/8" x 7 1/2" shelf! We'll see -- we're making some major headway on another project, so this might have to go on the back burner.

But ideally, some combination of these inspirations below would be fabulous...
