Can 59 People Please Order This?

Can I bribe you to place an order for this? If you do, then there’s only 58 to go …

Indian Shelf at World Market

Yes, this shelf will be made only if there are enough orders for it. (You can order here.)

Rajasthani artisans are awaiting carving it with traditional methods passed down through generations, father to son, maybe uncle to nephew.

Then they will paint it indigo blue.

Please, let’s get enough orders together so that 60 homes can enjoy this shelf. Including mine! :)

Also, I do have an affiliate relationship with World Market but did not set up affiliate links on this post because I’m so shamelessly begging you to order this! Maybe that makes me a dumb blogger, finance-wise. But I think it’s only fair to offer more value in return for affiliate links! Like a DIY tutorial, or spending my time finding something hard-to-find so that you don’t have to spend your time doing that.

So, let’s go back to ogling this shelf. You know, it’s 49″ long. Long enough to hold a bunch of framed photos, or painting canvas. If I am lucky enough to get this, I may use it to set wall art on it.

And, can we have a conversation about that wall?! Yes, let’s. I think that wall treatment is also needed. The lightly patterned peeling paper scraps. The color. Did you see my recent post about curry color?

    1. Hi Linda, I know, I love it too! I would have ordered it if it was produced. The thing is, World Market needed a minimum number of orders to produce it. It was available here for $250 back in March 2015:

      But someone somewhere on this planet has that sample … !!

      I do see similar shelves occasionally, vintage and antique ones, usually at online shops that import from India. I’m not remembering now exactly where I’ve seen them.
