This post will presumably be buried in Doctor Who reactions and never heard from again, but what the hell.
I have been agonizing over bathroom shelves. Aaaaaaaagonizing. What kind do I want? If I want them to go from wall to wall, I need them specially cut - which wood should I use? Then I need to paint. If I buy them pre-made, they won't go from wall to wall and then may end up not secure in the drywall instead of the stud. How deep? If they're right by the toilet, then they can't be too deep, but they need to be deep enough to be useful.
And on and on and on like a James Joyce sentence. So last night I thought "fuck it. What doesn't need to be painted, specially cut, drilled into the drywall at all, etc? TENSION BARS."
Ta da! The hanging cleaners trick I learned from Martha Stewart (dontjudgeme)
That cup with the book is the one thing that I amended. Because occasionally the ipad will end up in there, that I did nail down, literally. Right through the sticky stuff that you're supposed to hang it with, just in case.
I put the picture of the mail stop on FB; did I talk about that? My other big home improvement was to put a little table, shredder, and recycle bin next to each other in the central hall and nail a container full of letter openers over it. I'm already loving that thing, although I may have to find a really interesting something or other to hang over it for longer shredding sessions. Possibly one of these. (Which is the best presentation of Wuthering Heights I can think of. Make it look pretty and make it nigh unto unreadable.)
