Lately, I’ve come across striking examples of industrial shelving. Something about dark metal piping and rich-colored woods hits me square in the gut, and luckily, it’s a look that can be recreated without too much money or effort. See the links above for great retail options and D.I.Y. inspiration/advice. Not pictured, but also helpful, are these D.I.Y. industrial shelving instructions from iVillage.

P.S. There’s less than a week left to enter the Mad Men: The Illustrated World giveaway. The contest closes at 12:00 AM September 28th, and the winner & October’s giveaway book will be announced later that day. Thanks to all who have entered so far!
