I'm so excited to finally be able to do a White Wednesday post....I LOVE the look of different textures and shades of cream and white. However, I just can't seem to live without lots of color and always add some back. Why, I wonder? It's so soft and tranquil, I think... Maybe I'm not? :-)
At any rate, I DO have this shelf that I MADE MYSELF!!!!!!! And, I'm pretty darn proud.
The Darling Hubbs is from Hawaii.... He grew up on the beach, surfing every day and never learned to do any of those handy dandy things. He did hold the boards for me though.....bless his little heart.
I built shelves over my desk in the den too... (Pix coming soon).... As I've said a million times before, I am TIGHTWAD TILLY and usually re-use/re-make what I have. I had a beloved little desk that I wanted to use to put the new TV on which left a big spot over the top that just looked NEKKID....It would have worked better to actually buy some sort of cabinet for the darn TV..... Remember Tightwad Tilly? Ain't happenin'....Solution... Build a nice little shelf for that spot.........Mmmmmmmmmm.......AND can add lots of STUFF to that, right? Spencer LOVES stuff. :-)
I still need to give the underside another coat of paint, then it's ready to hang.
I'll post pix then.
I'm linking to that FABULOUS party over at:

Get yourself a nice cup of tea and go enjoy the lovely posts... They really are delish.
Huggies to all!

Very pretty---my hubby doesn't really like doing stuff around the house. BUT occasionally he will surprise me. He works too much and is too tired when he comes home.
ReplyDeleteI have no abilities in the building area either!! AH WELL!!!
Well darn Spenc, now I have to come back and see it over your desk with all your pretty things on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW
Love You
Love Me
xoxoxoxo
I'd say you're pretty talented to be able to make something like that!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented taking on different projects, Spencer! Good for you! I try to know my limits, as any shelf I would try to build would be crooked, have nails or screws splitting the wood/coming out and other too numerous to mention issues. This shelf looks great and I can't wait to see it in place.
ReplyDeleteSpencer you clever and crafty girl you!!! This is wonderful. I have to ask...did you wear your safety goggles???? I cannot wait to see the shelves hanging.
ReplyDeleteYour previous post of your darling grandson made me smile. I hope that he has a good year. And isn't it great that you were able to have a lot of the Summer with his company. Grandchildren are certainly a blast!
hugs to you...
Wow, your shelf is fantastic. I love the molding and detail you've done. Great job. Can't wait to see it on the wall. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWow Spencer I am impressed! And a woman who can use power tools...kindered spirits!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! That is awesome! And there is nothing wrong with being a tight wad!! My mother was too and I admired her ability to live on so little and then be able to retire so early! :)

hello precious! LOOK AT YOU, Miss Carpenter now!!!! What can you NOT do dearest? It pays to be a TIGHTWAD TILLY, doesn't it? You learn to MAKE THINGS...my daddy was a tightwad, but wow, could he make anything from nothing. That is the truth!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT...hey, how are you without the man of the house? :) Anita
Oh I love it Spencer! All that yummy moulding! Can't wait to see it up on the wall!!

What a great looking shelf. You did a fab job of making it yourself. I look forward to seeing where you hang it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave such a sweet comment... I sure do appreciate it! To answer your question about my island... yes, I love the top. It's very functional and super easy to keep clean. Maybe we'll be seeing about how you put a metal top on your kitchen island soon, huh? :)
Have a great weekend!
