Kitchen shelves

I put up two shelves in the castle kitchen today.  I had actually bought them, ready made, in Toronto last week -- it seemed a bit extravagant, buying something I could make so easily, but they were very cheap and already done. which was strangely appealing.  I shaved a bit off the edges, since I LOVE the way the irregular wood looks in the kitchen and pantry and don't want to spoil it now with something too perfect :)  I brushed on a weak solution of water and burnt umber and stuck them up with Quick Grip glue.

I'm still working on the giveaway - should have something to post very soon ...
