At last, after almost giving up on my Wall HERE, I finally found the perfect solution that I absolutely love.
TA-DA!
I found the shelf here on Memorial Day and ordered it right away (Free shipping was too good to pass up)!
Yup, got it from a Kid's store |
So pretty |
When my hubs hung it I felt something was missing though. And I realized it looked "too white".
I initially wanted to paint it gold, but my hubs would not have it, he said I'd eventually grow tired of all the gold and I think he was right. So I just added this gold-stripped gift wrap I scored from TJ Maxx last Christmas, on the back and I think I'm satisfied... for now... ;-)

So after months of searching, I finally don't have this empty wall and have something pretty and useful on it!
Now my next project will be replacing this....
I'm guessing with how "fast" I make my decisions in matters such as this, it would take me a couple of months or a year!!!!
Sigh. it never really ends does it?! ;-)
Have a Great Weekend!

Would love to hear your thoughts! Please share away...
Vel this is perfect for the space! I adore your choice.
ReplyDeleteYou had me @ "pagoda" Vel ... I swoon with every pagoda motif I see and how I love this as a solution for the awkward space that totally drove you crazy. Perfection with your lovely wallpaper too. The idea of the striped paper to back it is a good one; you could also back it with the same (sprayed gold) metal overlays you used on the cabinet doors, could make it feel as though it was planned all along with the cabinets ;) Oh happy find!

ReplyDeleteYou are right, it is perfect. I love it and it has such great storage too. Great find.
ReplyDeleteThat shelf is so cute! It looks perfect there! Good find!

ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea, Vel! It's so functional and pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh, that was definitely meant to be! I love it! It reminds me of all the pretty pagodas we saw at the Japanese Tea Gardens in San Francisco. I like how you styled it too and that wrapping paper really finishes it off! It's perfect for that spot!

ReplyDeleteI love your pagoda shelf. I like the fact that's it from the kids' collection and that nobody else must have it in your kitchen like you!
