Hi lovely lls readers, head over to Apartment Therapy to enjoy quite a lovely (and large) house tour that I had the pleasure of posting. The neat thing about homes - big or small - is the inspiration that can be found in every corner and can be interpreted in any size space. Loving this lounge space in the couple's home and how intimate and cozy it feels with a small space tip thrown in - using the wall to draw the eye up and make this smaller room open wide. The single shelf placed high with the other pictures adoring the wall make a great visual impact. 
Hi Rebecca,
I really like the idea of horizontal shelving ....I thought about doing that behind my main dining area, but opted for the cluster of frames instead. Maybe next time...because I think it looks so PRETTY!
Your kitchen rocks, jen!! but I can see the allure of this pretty photo for inspiration.
