What size floating shelves over toilet?
Comments (9)Thanks for finding that photo, Elphaba (shown below). That helps answer my question because I don't like how wide those shelves look over the toilet. I also don't like how narrow the ones are in my 2nd photo above (exact width of toilet). So, I need something in between toilet width and 30." I plan to use these shelves mostly for products that I use either in or right after the shower (shower gels, scrubs, creams). These are products with really nice containers and/or labels that I picked up in France and elsewhere, so they are decorative. The shelves are also functional in that they keep non-everyday items out of the shower.

Comments (7)OMG, did I write this: like blinkers on a horse???? BLINDERS on a horse. My excuse: I typed this out 3 times--I kept losing it (deleted it from the pasteboard bcs I didn't know how the buttons work; kicked the power strip and turned the machine off). It's a typo; same finger, different hand. Thanks, all! There's still more that can come out; one of those boxes has out-of-season clothes in it for DD, and I know that not a one of them will fit her. But I put my blinDers back on, and put it on the shelf. I can only tackle so much at a time, and I had a deadline. i think I may get to those clothes before month's end....See MoreHelp - Work/home office ongoing disaster - floating shelves
Comments (24)I love the Bright Green Office; looks very logical. I love your room. If you want some art in the room, get it first and let it drive your color scheme. Get rid of everything in the room, except what you need to work in the room, and organize it into boxes, bins, what ever so you can think straight about what goes where when. Then paint the room a nice soothing color you like...pick a color then go two tints lighter! And paint! Then decide where the desk will go and set up the computer. Find a concealer for wires and plugs online or at the container store. Add shelves and designated closed storage, even if it is baskets or fabric bins with clear large name tag designation for each bin.....get a perch for the kitty, and your are pretty done......anyway that is just my suggestion, but it might help?...See MoreDesigner Help Desperately Needed - Floating Shelving Problem
Comments (12)@B F, I went with drawers on everything below the countertop (except under the sink). I will store all dishes in a drawer to the right of the sink along with most glassware. This way I no longer have to hang over the open dishwasher door to reach the cabinet above it! The drawers are my gift to me, well, along with a waterfall edge counter on the peninsula (not in the CAD drawing). I saw dishes stored that way in a Houzz article and can hardly wait to implement it. @chispa you're right about the tile description. I knew I wasn't describing it properly. Thanks for the picture, I absolutely L-O-V-E that look. We have a GC who is very meticulous and his tiler is too. He did a great job on our hall bath upstairs. After seeing your picture I like the look of the white grout so I think I'll end up going with that. I love zellige tile but it's too thick for my wall. This reminds me of it. @Sabrina Alfin Interiors thanks for the suggestion. I have some interesting pieces that we collected while living in Europe. The idea of a groove or flange to help keep everything in place is great. I'm specifically thinking about a round wooden bread board with "Give us this day our daily bread" in Dutch carved along the edge (from The Beguinage in Brugge, Belgium https://www.visitbruges.be/highlights/beguinage) and our fabulous espresso cup set from Rome with orange Vespa scooters on the cups. Going through our goodies for display will be fun! I tried to thank you in the app but it is not responding so thank you for the advice, it's much appreciated!...See MoreMichelle Linden
