You could glue one on top of the other and then use it as a jewellery holder. Your rings and studs can go in the top and you can hang your necklaces and bracelets off the edges. You would have to make sure that necklaces would stay on... Oh and I agree, I think they are upside down in this image.


Apartment Therapy New York | Good Question: What To Do With These Candlesticks?

Thanks so much for this post! I have been looking for an entry way 'landing trip' for a while! One of these would be so useful in my apartment because I have a roommate and we leave the mail at the entry for each other. We also have communal keys for the storage area and the laundry room so this would be a great place to keep them. I like the Umbra Letter Wall Mount Organizer as well as the Catch All Entry Caddy, especially the latter since there is a place to leave notes. My roommate and I are so busy that sometimes we don't see each other for days! This would be a great spot to leave little notes to make sure each other are doing well, etc. I love the post! Thanks!

First - I would just like to say I love the layout of your apartment! I don't know what it is, but it feels very intimate.

As for changing things up here are my two cents - although I am not a professional.

1) What about changing the direction the front door swings open, taking out the closet and adding a wall right below the 13x6. That way people will naturally go right into the living room when they enter the door. The area behind the new wall can be an extension of your kitchen. I only think you have to leave your sink where it is so you can move the stove, and fridge behind the new wall. If you angle the edges of the cabinets around the south 90 degree corner in the kitchen the space will probably seem less awkward. The only big issue I can see is that this doesn't go perfectly with the triangle rule between the sink, fridge and stove, but if you can live with that, it will really open up your kitchen into the living room.
2) I also agree with the thought of changing your bedroom and your living room. If you move the bathroom door to be in front of the bathroom sink then you can create a nice family room nook in the north end of what is now called the bedroom. From there you can take out the closet and have the kitchen open up into the new living room and have a dining area there. You could also make a small dining area to the east of the kitchen, taking up some of the new bedroom space. (If you do that I would make a door for the bedroom where the hall closet is now) If you don't put the dining room there, you have a wonderful new large bedroom. You can even add a new room to the space - a study, or storage.

Please let us know what you do with the place - it looks like such an exciting space!
