Just a hodge podge of shelf inspiration today that I had saved and thought you might want to see. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
A shelf across a window (how amazing is the window?!!!)...

These custom bookshelves from BHG.com were created by raising up ready-to-assemble cabinets, adding custom doors and topping with a bridge to make them look like built-ins...

I like the way Style at Home editor Erin McLaughlin utilized this wall space in her small home...

Putting a bookcase on this wall was a great solution to utilize this akward space and move the furniture away from the wall...

If you're short on display space, how about using your windows as a shelf? (obviously you don't want to go crazy with this idea or it could get pretty cluttered, but I think the way they've displayed the artwork in this room works)...

How about this staggered display shelf from BHG.com?...

BHG.com says, "A recessed nook is the perfect place to show off your favorite art and display your collections. Remove a section of drywall to reveal a 4- to 8-inch-deep niche between wall studs. Consult a contractor to make sure it's safe to remove any horizontal bracing elements. Then add shelves"...

Kitchen space saver. A TV shelf built into the island...
![](http://img4.coastalliving.com/i/2010/03/tv-island-kitchen-l.jpg?400:400)
We've seen variations of this idea before, but I still love the idea of utilizing the space underneath the stairs...
