Cheap, Easy Shelving

When I first got out of college, like most people, I didn't have any money. I also remember thinking that a friend of mine had some great looking glass shelves. I said, where did you get those? And she said they were
store fixtures, that they had been glass shelves in a department store that had gone out of business. So, when it came time to get my first apartment, I arranged to buy some more of those shelves from her father. They were only like $7 apiece. They were heavy and nice and unusual looking, which is what we all want. I displayed my books and knick knacks on them for many years, until I grew tired of them and wanted something new. But if you really look around and be creative, you can find cheap or free things to decorate your apartment with. I know after all of these years, I am still doing that and am sure I will for some time.
