Beautiful Shelf Displays

There is one blogger in particular - Brooke from Velvet and Linen (here) who I so very much admire when it comes to creating interesting and beautiful shelving displays. Somehow even though they are totally random they are so amazingly interesting I find myself wanting everything presented.

I would love to do this in my house but I think there has to be a delicate balance between pretty and functional when you don't have very much space.
