A Little Shelf Redo

OMG I almost forgot to take a before pic, as I started to spray it I remembered to take a pic! I bought this at Marshalls, I thought it looked like an old peice so I snatched it up thinking it would look pretty painted white, I also added some rose appliques to each side of the front the top ones were already on it. I'm still trying to get my house finished in between my kids and a billion others hanging out so back to painting!

The finished shelf................
The appliques that I glued on, I still need to touch these up a little.
Hugs~Kelly

This shelf really looks fabulous in white. Doesn't it make you wonder why the manufacturer just didn't paint it white in the first place? Especially with the cottage look being so popular. ???

Dear Kelly,
How do you manage to "find" such a piece at Marshalls. I could go in there a hundred times and not see anything as unique.

I love the new color of your DR. Can't wait to see what else you have done - you are amazing.

Hugs,
Connie

I love it! Am going to my Marshall's this evening to see if they have one and if so, it's coming home with me! I think I would remove the mirror and replace it with a blackboard and hang it on a large empty wall in my breakfast room.

Kelly,
I got this shelf at Marshall's, too. I have mine up in the bathroom and hang my towels off the pegs. I wanted to paint mine, too. Now I know how it will look!! I was surprised at how affordable it was and the look you get! Now I can't wait to paint mine, too. Thanks for sharing!

Michelle, All Home and Love said...

Hi Kelly,
That's exactly what I was thinking for the dresser, cookie sheets will fit perfectly! Right now they are above my fridge and me being 5 foot tall, it's a problem for me.

Cathy said...

It's absolutely beautiful! The white totally changes it and I think it turned out better in the white than the orginal. Love how you have it decorated too.
