I already do the key thing now.

How much dirt do you need to keep the succulent alive?

nice call guys, this is totally Sarah Richardson. Here I was, feeling inadequate that mere mortals created such gorgeous nurseries. It makes sense that the photo is of something created by a pro -- I agree that credit is due!

And I kinda like it sans rug. Maybe there could be a small one by the rocker/chair?

This is pricey and not necessarily the vibe you are looking for, but this is an option for covers for wire shelving -- offered in multiple colors!

But if you just want something to prevent smaller items from falling through (or to catch dust!), you may just want wire shelving liners. This is kinda like what @shawnamuffin is doing, and they come in pretty standard sizes.

I wish my wire shelves always stayed so neat and half empty as the ones pictured! Mine are so useful, but always loaded to the brim!

For those of you who don't have Costco memberships, they sell two main brands:

Alera -- available from a host of other retailers
Trinity - available on Amazon and on the Trinity website

You may have some luck getting deals on those units.

I agree that height can be a concern, but to @elisha's concern about weight -- this utility cart is rated for 600lbs and includes (optional) locking wheels.

Even though you said less than restaurant quality, I think you still want your shelves to be resistant to corrosion, which means NSF certified! As trillium mentioned, since Metro-style shelving is out of patent, there are a lot of budget options out there that are NSF certified (I don't think the Ikea ones are).

I think your use of color and soft textures already make the room look cozy! If you wanted to try something else, how about some updated window coverings?

It's hard to say without dimensions, but Ikea has a wide range of versatile solutions. Another thing to consider is RTA cabinets -- you may have some luck there! Congrats on the new apartment

Before I read your list of wants, I was thinking YES!!

The thing with your family photos is that you will want to back them up somehow. Please be sure to find some other solution (smugmug?) for storing your photos "in the cloud". That way you can upload them from your phones and access them anywhere, and you don't have to worry about all your memories being lost if something happens to your iPad.

could you achieve the same look with paint? The anthro one is gorgeous but I think it really pops because of the white on the dark paint. If your walls are another color, you might do better by getting to choose your own color!

here is a painted version of a round headboard (white on green)

saw this post on YHL, similar room, very different feel. I do think Parsons-like chairs would go well.
