2 Stacked Shelving System

Stacked Shelving System designed by JDS Architects for Muuto...I'm really liking these; they are functional and versatile with a hint of playfulness.

Leave it to an architect to create a shelving system that’s as versatile as building blocks. The work of Belgian-Dane Julien De Smedt of JDS Architects, this modular system lets you create a shelving unit to fit your space and style. “Our projects are humanly designed, politically engaged, financially viable, and structurally realistic,” says the designer. When asked how he sees the “new Nordic” celebrated by the Danish company Muuto, De Smedt says it is “like an embrace of a southern culture with a northern rigueur.” Translating that idea to his Stacked Shelving, these boxes can be randomly stacked or precisely coordinated into a grid. The three sizes are scaled to accommodate all kinds of books. And while there are only three boxes offered, there are actually five shapes to work with, depending on how you position the two rectangles. The negative spaces created between boxes give you even more shapes with which to play. Use the colorful steel clips (sold in sets of 5) to connect the boxes.

1 Wooden Desk Organizers

I had randomly come across these fantastic wooden desk organizers from Less is More a while ago and saved them to my favorites.  They have since made the rounds in the blog world, and I still think they are completely fantastic.  I can't quite decide which is my favorite...what do you think?


I'm moving them to my seriously consider buying wish list.

8 Jess Likes Lists

I think it's time I shared this with you, a little side project I've been working on:
JESS LIKES LISTS.  It's not that far along, but maybe if I share it with you it will motivate me to work on it more.

So the thing is I like list...a lot.  I live to cross things off to do lists, which I make on a very regular basis.  I have been working on my Life List for a while, and again it needs work but it's a start!

Do you like lists too?
