Close-up: Colin and Terisa's Simple Shelving

On our visit to Colin and Terisa's home in Oak Park last week, we were impressed by their ability to find inexpensive and simple shelving solutions for every room.

Wooden crates store their album collection, as well as some well-placed accessories. By organizing the crates in stacked, arced rows, they gave the basic set-up a small flourish.
