I wanted to share another blast from the past makeover I have done. I bought this BRIGHT Yellow shelf at an auction for $1. Poor thing...no one was bidding on it so I raised my little hand and it was sold! It needed a little TLC but it was worth my $1 investment. :)
I added leftover beadboard to the back from our Kitchen Reno. I first painted it red then painted it black purposely leaving some red showing through. I then added some dark walnut stain. It made a wonder cubby for our mudroom area! (Ignore floor...another project, another day. :) The baskets were 1/2 off from Michaels.
Well I'm off to work tonight. I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!
