Bonjour Mes Amis!
So I've already admitted to having a mirror obsession. Now I am confessing that I officially have a shelf addiction as well!
Since shelves have always been a popular item in my Etsy shop, I'm always hunting for interesting ones that I can transform with a little paint and tlc. I've even gotten hubby into the act, and have commissioned him to build me some for my shop! So today I'd like to share with you some of the latest ones that I've been working on.
Isn't this picket fence style shelf just adorable? It was dark green when I found it, and I thought the color really didn't do it justice! I immediately thought "pink"!
Wouldn't it be darling in a little girls room or nursery?
It has that shabby cottage style that I love so well!
And I was super excited when I discovered this pair of vintage Syroco shelves recently. Originally a "gaudy gold", I could hardly wait to paint them creamy ivory!
Just look at their amazing details. They even have the original "Syroco Wood" labels on the back!
Like many of the early Syroco pieces, this pair is made of wood and other materials.
They truly have the look of finely hand carved wood, I think!
I found these sweet little shelves on separate thrifting trips. While they are not identical, I thought they would make a cute pair, after I painted them my favorite shade of light blue. Much better than their former dark brown color!
One of the shelves features a neat curvy top and bracket, the other has a handy plate groove.
Ok, here is one of the shelves my handy hubby made, and I just love it!
Love the brackets he added to the sides. And the oil rubbed bronze coat hooks, too!
I painted it a creamy white, and am so happy with the way it turned out!
I just finished painting several more shelves that he built for my shop, in blue and aquamarine tones (love!).
I'll be sure to share them with you soon!.
You can take a peek at these shelves and more in my Etsy shop, if you care to take a look!

Donna, I love shelves. You can squeeze even a small one in a place that just needs more decor. I like your blue ones.xoxo,Susie

Boy, have you guys been busy. Love that pink shelf. I don't think I have ever seen one with that shape before.
ReplyDeleteI love the little white one with hooks. I am a sucker for hooks. Hope these sell well for you! Love all the details that just a paint job brings out.
Have a fun weekend!
Those are all so pretty,love the colors. Couldn't pick a favorite if I had to,love them all.
ReplyDeleteI've never really looked at shelves before. I have a feeling that I'll be far more aware from now on! What an unusual post. Thanks. Joan
ReplyDeleteHi Donna,
ReplyDeleteYour shelves are all so interesting. I too love a shelf here and there. It adds so much to a space. Love the pink on the first one. How pretty it is and the pieces your hubby made are awesome. You two are so talented.
The missmatched set go so great together and I love syroco too. Light weight but looks so ornate and heavy.
Thank you for sharing the inspiration.
Have a great weekend. Stay Warm!
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Very creative!
