  1. I *LOVE* this compilation, and am currently seeking shelf ideas for my (very small & zero cupboard space) kitchen. So, *thanks so much*!
    I am, however, getting a “404”/not found error for page 2 and for page 3, it bounces me back to the first page, I counted the shelves on page one and know it’s only part of it… so, I’m wondering, is it just me having this problem? Or am I missing something? Lol because that could be it! ☺️ Whichever, I’d love to see the rest of the shelves!!
    Regardless: pinned & shared to friends!
    Thanks again!!! ????✨????
