A Weakness for Shelves!

I am in love with pretty cabinets with shelves.   I like the wooden ones, the wire ones, the metal ones, wall hung ones, ones that sit atop another cabinet…I like them all.  
I have a few vintage ones strewn around the house.   You have seen most of them -
but hey, lets look at them again!!!

This is the vintage shelf that Alex finished and didn’t like.
It ended up in our master bathroom.

Another vintage, painted one in the great room.

This one is on the lower level screened in porch.
The door is a window frame covered with chicken wire. The little roof is old rusty tin.  



I bought another vintage painted shelf at an antique mall in Georgia about six months ago.
It hasn’t found a home yet!
*************

These shelves aren’t mine, but I would sure love to own them!!


I adore the glass door and the little latch on this one.



Be still my heart!!! Look at that peeling yellow paint.  And the three narrow doors are great!
(Look at the lights on each side…how fun is that?)



You could sit this on just about any piece of furniture-look how narrow it is!
I love the diagonal grid in the door.



The teal on the inside of this rather plain wooden one makes it feel important.
I like the cubby hole style.



Yep, another painted, vintage, glass doored, cute latched cabinet.
I definitely have a thing!

I stopped in Ressurect today and fell in love with a shabby white self with glass front doors...I'm just too cheap to pay the price! They had so much new stuff in since I had been last!

They are all gorgeous, but the beautiful green one that you havn't found a home for yet is stunning. I can just see that holding some gorgeous pieces of ironstone. Love it. Hugs, Marty

So beautiful, I love shelves too! I have a lot of them (not as beautiful as yours though) so my one-year-old can't reach my decor...:)
Love, Chani

I love your bathroom. It has given me the inspiration to tackle my "all white" bath and make it as relaxing as yours. I have begun my search of pieces that resemble yours.
Goodbye family, once done I will never come out!!
Enjoy, Dana

Oliva said...

I love all of your lovely shelves! I'm learning to arrange them/create vignettes...and I'm finding lots of inspiration in yours! I can kick myself...last Saturday I almost bought a shelf and put it back...arghh!!!
BTW...give tassels another try...just watch out for the super hot glue...ouch!

Kim said...

It helps when you have lots of wonderful stuff to put on them. I'll be right over for a bath in that lovely tub.:)
