A Shelf By Any Other Name…

I have a question--


Is this a shelf?


Or is this a shelf?


And if you mean this… then do you say “a shelf from the shelf”?

Is it a ‘bookshelf’ if it has other things on it?


Sometimes there are more knic-knacs than books. 


And sometimes there are no books at all!


What do you call it if it is a part of a piece of furniture?


Or if it hangs on a wall? 


If it has doors, is it still a shelf?

Oh this is giving me a headache! I think I will just shelf this line of thought for another day!!

  1. HA! I loved your post... it made me giggle... arguing the semantics of 'shelves' ... or shelf... or well...
    anyway, all great examples of shelves.
