The other day, I showed you a "magic trick" of how we made our cabinet disappear.
It went from this:
To this ((*gasp*)):
Well, ABRA CADABRA ... have a lookie now !!
What I absolutely *lurve* about these shelves is that I built, painted and hung them all.by.myself! Wooo Hooo ...
I couldn't wait to get them finished so that I could *play* by adding a few things I already had on hand (of course, I'm nowhere near done tweaking):
I was so excited to add two of the five absolutely gorgeous velvet pumpkins that I won in a giveaway hosted by my sweet and super talented friend, Lela! She handcrafted these beauties herself (complete with real pumpkin stems). She has a fabulous blog, which is, unfortunately, private ... BUT, I'm hoping one of these days, I'll convince her to go public so that you all can enjoy her stunning Tuscan home! Thanks again, Lela ... so excited to have won!
Lastly, I placed my engraved cheese knives from PB, along with generic stemware in my glass canister for something different:
I'm so excited how it has opened the space up, too! I'll be back soon to share the details of how I built them (in the meantime, please say a little prayer that they all don't fall apart and come crashing down). LOL!
Los the shelves. They look much better. They create space. If you asked my husband, he'd tell you that I am a super shelf nazi. If I could, all of our walls would be shelved.

Your shelves look wonderful. I can't believe you did it all by yourself. I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteNow you have lots of places to display neat things. The jar with the cheese knives and glasses with the little pumpkins are perfect there..
Girl, you did an excellent job. You are now an official DIY diva! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteLove your shelves Becca!! Well done~ You go girl!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a talented girl you are! I love them. Did you use a saw? If so, I am sooo jealous because I want to learn to use one.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and good for you for tackling that job!
ReplyDeleteThe shelves are awesome! You should be proud to have done them by yourself. Your display is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove it Becca.
ReplyDeleteWAY TO GO Becca!!!! They look great.
ReplyDeleteGirl you did GOOD!!! I love the open shelves and just think you can change them up for all the seasons and holidays! Those velvet pumpkins are too cute! Martina
ReplyDeleteThat looks so much better Becca. Just think of the fun and cute vignettes you can do all year long. You done good girl~!

Becca, these shelve are awesome! I am so impressed that you crafted those yourself. You are way talented! I love, love the new look. They are decorated so beautifully, too. You have a natural eye with the details.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you like the velvety pumpkins!
Maybe some day, Becca! lol
Haha, you're as confident as me, Becca! I'm sure they won't fall! I love these. I wondered if you were going to do shelves of some kind. I've actually been thinking of this style for my laundry room. Right now there is a wire shelf the previous owner had up, and the entrance from the garage is right there. I'd like to make this area pretty and I want some shelving to have a more open look, too. I can't wait to see how you did it all!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome and so much better than the single cabinet!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Making your own shelves and hanging them....you are the reigning DIY queen! Seriously, they look just like the Ballards shelves so you should be real proud of yourself.
ReplyDeletexoxo,

ReplyDeleteHi Becca, The shelves look great! Very impressed that you did that yourself. I put up shelves in my craft room and made a thousand holes! lol...I don't like to measure.

Oh, and I love the way you decorated your new shelves, they are perfect!! Kristen
Becca...girl, you are just too much! LOVE the shelves!! Ohhh, the possibilities when it comes to decorating! I'm sure your wheels are really turning!! I love all of the accessories, as well. And the fact that you crafted these beauties yourself...AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteGirl!! You inspire me so much. I LURVE looking at pictures of your home and look forward to your posts everyday!! I would love to be able to accessorize my home the way you do, but with two dogs, a cat that thinks he's a dog and a baby on the way...don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon...LOL! In the meantime I will continue to live vicariously through you girlfriend! Keep it comin' ;)

ReplyDeleteGirl, you need your own HGTV show! No joke!!!! I was at the PB Outlet last night buying a headboard and saw those very same engraved cheese knives...I looked, I touched and put them back...I might have to go back and get them - love how you displayed them.
