So since The Domicile is of the general Arts & Crafts era, I tend to try and find a balance between era-appropriate appearance as well as modern necessity. This is especially important to me in the main "public" areas of the house where I entertain.

However, I'm not at all afraid to go off style a bit in the private rooms of the 2nd floor, and the future Crack Vault™, as many of you know, has been proving troublesome for the past 4 months or so since appropriate shelving is a must for me this time around.

Outside of the occasional era curio, 'Muricans of the 1920s didn't seem to have all that much need to store thousands of pieces of crap on shelves, and hence there isn't much massive shelving designed for that era.

However, this weird little design caught my eye this morning. While it really wouldn't work in the Vault room, being more natural looking in say the Greg's Attic of Groovy Love or maybe Steve Austin's pad.

There's something about them though that I like.

They'd actually work in Moni's 50's era home.

Nah! Too drastic! I'll keep looking.

I'm bound to find something...

in the next 10 years or so!
