Just an update. I actually had something typed up last night but accidentally erased and did not feel like retyping. :) Thanks for more feedback!! I picked up a few new things yesterday. One didn't work so I'm planning to take it back today. I did take some of your advice and I think for now I'm pretty satisfied. I added books and other objects from around my house plus the two new things I bought, such as the silver shiny bucket in the middle and the frame holder at the top. I tried the holder with the bowl Sally but I decided it didn't work and something with the bowl was just making things look too flat so I decided to take it back. Even though I've added more stuff, it looks more neat and color organized. Over the next few weeks my goal is to add better books and a few pictures of loved ones with better frames. Also as I travel and shop more, I'll definitely switch things out and around a bit. That's the fun part about shelves is tailoring it to your mood. I'll keep your comments as I decide to change things. Sally thanks for your kind words. I actually would like to do something with the inside of the shelving, maybe a funky wallpaper, but since I'm a renter I have to be careful. Painting a poster board is definitely an interesting idea that I might play with one day. Libbmom, I took your advice and moved the Eiffel Tower and love the result!! Togetherbydesign, I'm not the best when it comes to decorating terms so I wasn't sure what you meant by "orbs". Marlene thanks for your compliments. Funny that I have that same picture saved because I loved their shelf arrangement. Again, thanks everyone for your feedback. I've uploaded new pictures to show you what I've done. Let me know what you think. I'm going to continue to look for stuff that works, but I think for now I'm going to take a break before I get shelf overload lol :) P. S. Excuse the toys in the basket, for now it's serving as a doggy toy bin. :) and the long gray thing is a DVD holder. I'm not going to use it for that purpose but something about it I like. Almost looks like a little ladder.

You need to edit, just WAY to much , um, stuff

We are going with chrome fixtures. If I do the glass shelves - I plan to put a coating of rain X on them. Since this is a part time place, stuff won't be sitting there all the time. We're going to have a hand held shower head and the problem with the hanging shelves is that they interfere with the hand held cord. Otherwise, this is a great suggestion. Having to clean permanent shelves often is a deterrent. I suppose that is the attraction of the baskets. I would like white shelves but I can't seem to find any, other than the old fashioned ones that are an afterthought and grouted in. I definitely don't want those. I thought about putting a basket or two, for the soap on the corner that has the shower head, and white or glass shelves in the other corner. The glass is tempered and it's only hubby and I - no small kids, so I'm ok with the safety part of the glass. I am leery of any metal in a shower. Living in a humid climate, I don't care what the manufacturers say, all metal rusts/stains or looks dingy after awhile. Maureen's suggestion would work because its not attached. But with a hand held shower - I haven't found a hanging one that works well with a hand held shower. Bummer.

I hate to be captain obvious here, but call a local carpenter.
