Little shelf

I finally finished one of my little projects. I picked this up at a yard sale last summer and decided I better get in gear and get some of these little things done before yard sale season is here again and I find more projects.
I paid 3.00 for this piece, it was in great shape.
The  blue color county stryle was not what I had in mind for our Master bathroom, so I painted it white. There is something about winter that makes me want to slap a coat of white paint on everything. If I wasn't in so much of a hurry to get started I might have chosen a softer white, but this is what I had on hand.
Here you can see how it's tucked back in the corner over the toilet, and next to the shower. Ignore the wall color, I haven't painted this room. The plant is temporary, right now that seems to be the only place in my house he is happy. Hopefully as it grows I can put him back where he belongs.
I distressed the edges, and you can see some of the blue paint underneath.
Cute little birdies.
Rocks my husband and I collected from Lake Michigan when we used to live in Chicago.
Old jars.
One of my favorite little pieces, an old soap holder, filled with nut shells my sons collected.
It brightens up a little corner of the bathroom and I love the way it turned out!

  5. Looks great! I had to laugh when I read " I picked this up at a yard sale last summer and decided I better get in gear and get some of these little things done before yard sale season is here again and I find more projects." I have been having the same thoughts!!!

  8. What a great fit for that area. You did a great job redoing it.

    I have to tell you, when I opened your site I was caught off guard for a minute. The little boy in the upper left hand corner looks EXACTLY like one of my nephews. IDENTICAL, seriously. Even the teeth and same haircut. I showed my husband the picture, and he asked me who those other kids were with Brandon (my nephew). Even my mom (who raises him) had to study the picture for a few minutes.

  11. First of all, I love your little birdies. Next, the shelf looks so great in the distressed white finish. It's also perfect above the toilet in the bathroom.
