Before and After GW Shelf Makeover

BEFORE:

Went shopping a while ago to GW and found this four foot long shelf for .99 cents. Whoo Hoo!

I didn't want the cutout hearts to show so I found the wood pieces at Home Depot for $1.47 each.

Glued the wood pieces over the heart cutouts.

Easy!  Then took the piece outside and spray painted the whole thing with Heirloom White.

AFTER

I hung my new thrifty shelf above the master bed and decorated it with some other thrifty pieces I have picked up over time.

I also spray painted the wedding photo frame from a dark wood to Heirloom White.

Love how white paint makes the wood designs POP!

The books on each end are really paper mache boxes that can open up for storage...found on clearance at Michael's for $3.00 each.

The clocks are GW finds for .99 cents each...I am always looking to add more clocks to my collection.

The aqua dessert plates are from my DIL, Amanda. Thank you!

Mini cloche with tag and another fun brooch from my collection.

Milk glass candlesticks purchased for $2.99 at GW.

Keys are spray painted black...they are from a set of seven keys purchased through Pottery Barn.  

Love to use the keys all over my house in my vignettes.

I have an adorable banner to make and hang from the little shelf pegs.

Another project...another day.

What do you think of my thrifty before and after shelf?
