We received these shelves as wedding presents from my friends Brian and Jenny. I had been trying to figure out what to do with this wall behind the couch for a while. It is an awkward area because the wall has two depths. Currently, the couch is half on the wall and half six inches in front of it. Someday I would love to build a custom bookshelf, but that is not going to happen in the near future. So, when I saw these narrow floating shelves at Bed, Bath and Beyond, I decided to register for them. Here they are on the BB&B website.

Cape of Dreams 
jessica,
your home looks lovely and well loved. in the pics it looks like you have writings stenciled behind each art piece. i realize it was inscripted in your photo. but cool idea to place sentiment , scripture, or favorite quotes on the wall too.
you are an inspiration. fondly,
leeann
Thank you Leeann. The whole idea of the blog is to inspire people to be creative in their home. It does not require a lot of money, as I hope that I show people by example.
I love the idea of the writing on the wall to use a Biblical phrase. 🙂 I have been thinking of doing it for years. I still have not decided where or what, but when I do, rest assured that I will write a blog about it.
Thanks again for checking in and commenting. The comments mean a great deal to me because I do not get much feedback otherwise.
Cute! Eclectic and appealing. I love the lizard especially… I also love a project that actually gets finished in a reasonable amount of time and doesn’t make a huge mess!
Thank you. Those type of projects are great and all too rare. 🙂 The lizard is great. I feel that he needs something similar to him on that shelf. I actually made a ceramic box in college that was in the shape of the rock with a lizard on it. I just realized that it would be perfect for that shelf. Last time I ran across it, however, the bottom was missing. I am going to have to do a search!
