Haha I can totally relate to the "oh no they're coming" panic. My poor husband never works harder than on the day before my in-laws are coming to visit. I agree with some of the comments about the bottom of the rope/tie off. I thought this looked cool until I scrolled down and just didn't like the way that looked. Of course, for a quick fix it's great....and I think that adamwa's suggestion with the hidden brackets is genius. I may just use this idea soon. Thanks!

@Meredith at Welcome to Heardmont, If you ever do this under shelf thing please post it to your blog. I want to know how it's done. Hoping my landlord will let me do something similiar after we have lived here a year. Actually, I'm planning to use the pics from your redo to show my landlord when I beg for permission to do the project. Thanks for sharing!

Really well done. I had a place with a similiar place and wish I could have been so creative and artful. Thanks for the inspiration!

love, love, love EVERYTHING! Thank you for sharing!

This is such a cheerful space all I can say is "Yay!"

Love the place and the collections ...wish I could have seen more...can you post more pictures? I would really like to see the vertical placed pictures. I really like this idea and was dissapointed after the blurb about it that there were no pics of it. The pics you have though are so much lovelier than most of contestants. Your friend did a nice job.

You have such a fun sense of style!! And I have to give you props for living in such a small space and doing it with total awesomeness :-)

very cool. And I definutely LOVE the choice of an intense kitchen color to liven up the white rental cabinets. Agree with siska about the art but, overall very cool.

Wow!! What an amazing job you have done and I love seeing all the beautiful things you have collected into the space. To me the placement of everythng seems ingenious. I needed you when we downsized to our 800 square foot 2 bdrm...I thought that was a challenge...but, what you could have done with that! Amazing!

I don't think this is in Callifornia but, there is a store that opened recently here called The Christmas Tree Shops and they have a better selection and usually better pricing on lamp shades than most big box stores. Also, I got "lost" in there bc it was my first time at the store and they had so many cute and inexpensive home items. Will definitely be making many trips back...it's my new fave for the moment.
