Unfortunate Shelf

My sister moved into a beautiful home and this shelf was left behind in her water closet. Every time I looked at it I fantasized about giving it a total reconstructive makeover. I love to stalk the blog doubletakedecor.blogspot.com and she does this to shelves all the time so I asked my sister if we could do it. Instantly we took the thing off the wall and got to work. Unfortunately I wasn't there for the puttying and painting but it turned out good. We just added a little bead board and some molding, moved the hangers and it's as good as new.

Chest Full of Treasures

 When I was back in Utah for Christmas I was able to redo this chest for my mother-in-law that she got when she was a teenager. It was a lot of fun and I really hope she loves it!

I think the best part was finding the treasures inside when we had to clean it out. It is so fun to see history and the small details in peoples lives. :) Thanks for sharing Deb!
