Welding/soldering is beyond my DIY scope, LOL.

The Moms Kitchen sign would be covered if it is used for books

I think the shelf is too chintzy to accommodate a lot of weight, like in big/heavy books.

@lolakimono   I've done little today but ponder your project.  Here's what I'd do. 

Turn the shelf upside down.  Mount an ass to each end of the wooden shelf which is now above the wire grid.  Mount the shelf to your wall.  Using "S" hooks, hand your keys, coffee cups, or whatever you like to the grid.  Use the shelf for your handbag, books, a plant or whatever.  The donkeys on the ends will keep them from falling off.

@Kachina624  Brilliant!!  LOL

Here is the reveal, hidden below.

I took the shelf off, as you saw in the previous picture, which allowed me to spray paint the wire part.  Like you, I was not going for Mom's Kitchen, but since it is painted on, even spray paint doesn't erase it completely.  This is what I have so far.  I might add a fabric panel to the pink part and trim it out in ribbon, or paint my name on it, or I could stick on magnets with a few notes.

In the meantime, I found these (cute!) jars at Etsy, and I think they will fit on the shelf.  If not, no big deal, I can use them for other items.

If I get a room I will hang it there and probably close to the desk.  Because of mice, any food items I always store in glass or plastic.  I'm thinking maybe some cough drops, zinc lozenges, chocolates, or mints.

Sadly, I can't bring the cats to work, so yes there is a mice problem at school.  I caught 7 in my electronic mousekiller in the two months before we closed.

This is what I made for the small desk supplies, which for now is in the drawer of a cabinet that I've been using as my remote workspace (which I have shared here previously).
