We have a really large upstairs landing, which the bathroom opens off of. A few months back, I decided to move an old bookcase to landing, with the hope of creating some much needed storage. I think it was a move well made! The storage unit (which is supposed to be an entertainment unit) can be configured in a number of different ways so it's actually perfect for both bath stuff and linens.

- Note - I don't know anything about photography. Tyler knows way more than me, and he has been trying to teach me some basics. (He thinks I'll embarrass myself by posting bad pictures.) But... I am too impatient to listen to him. So I am failing one of my New Years Resolutions. Please excuse my bad pictures until I take the time to listen to my husband, and learn how to take a decent shot!
Which gets me to my point, do you prefer Open or Closed shelving? For the most part, I like open, although there are some areas where I would always like to have some closed doors. When you see magazine spreads with gorgeous open shelving, I always wonder where the ugly roasting pan is hiding. Here are some shelving inspirations!

Wow, do I ever feel you on the bad pics. I'm a crap photographer (for now!), but don't worry it's not embarrassing ;).
As to the shelves, I like a mix of both. I find that open shelving can look messy if everything isn't at least color coordinated/in the same palette. Most of our stuff is too hodgepodge for open shelving, so I do a mix. Out of sight out of mind!
I like those shelves on your landing, maybe add some baskets to hide toiletries if you don't want to be looking at them all the time?
Thanks for the basket idea! I have been meaning to pick some up one of these days... I love baskets for stashing things. At the moment all of my baskets are filled with baby toys. I think I have one in practically every room!
