In the process of reworking our home office into a guest bedroom, I knew I wanted to add smart storage for guests but really didn't know where to start. I started looking at small wall shelves and as soon as I saw this one, the ideas started flowing. 
I ordered the shelf in white (which fits right in with the Shabby Elegance decor of the room). It's fairly lightweight and I wouldn't recommend sitting anything substantially heavy on it, but is otherwise very cute and functional. I plan to use the cubby spaces for washcloths & bar soap, small bottled water, cell phone chargers and snacks. Everything an out of town guest would need after a long day of travel!
