Kitchen Shelf

I recently did a little makeover on the shelf in my kitchen. I didn't realize what a difference it made until I saw the before picture while looking for a different picture on my computer. It really looked like crap before!

Then:
What a difference a coat of paint makes. I wasn't going to paint it because it belonged to my Grandparents but what's the point if you can't enjoy it while you have it?

  1. It didn't look like crap, but it all definitely stands out so nicely now on the white shelf! I desperately want to paint a big armoire in the dining room white, but I keep meeting resistance from my family!

  4. What a lovely shelf! It looks much better painted, and I'm quite quite jealous of your vintage kitchen wares!

  6. Great little collection of mismatched yet matching bits! My mom is really loving jadeite right now, where I'm more into the green Depression Glass. Lovely!
