Before buying a display shelf, think about how you want to use it. A cube arrangement works for miniature picture frames and small, rounded objects, such as teapots and vases. Tall items look best on floating shelves. Here, Michele Adams divided shelves into a series of squares, creating a "frame" for each grouping to make even small collections work as a more cohesive unit. She stacked books both vertically and horizontally and paired different objects of the same color together.

Year-round Garden Room
This garden room is a Northwest take on the lanai. It's open on two sided and provides flexible options for outdoor living. The architect conceived it as a summer deck that would "float" in a sea of salal, but it was transformed into an all-season outdoor room when he and the owners decided to add a roof, a fireplace, and walls that slide closed in stormy weather. - Integrated Cabinets
