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 ...

They look perfect there with their rustic charm. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of a relief to be back to rusticity, Dale :)
ReplyDeleteThat's cute. We all have our favored genres. :)
ReplyDeleteBuy things ready is not a solution as easy as it seems: you see what you buy ...
ReplyDeleteYou bought good!
:-)
Now it's my turn soon to make shelves for my tribal house. I love yours. Thought you made them because they are so rustic. Those off the shelf shelves (lol) are too perfect !
ReplyDeleteTe ha quedado genial!!!
ReplyDeleteHas conseguido que parezca muy usado y rustico.
Una apariencia de lo mas relal.
besitos ascension
dale: yeah, I'm rustic for sure. Possibly even primitive. Give me no right angles and I'm happy for days :)
ReplyDeleteFlora: thanks, sweetie! Watch the mail, your package went out this morning, my Ingres-loving friend!
Sans: Ah, you see what 5 minutes with a blunt craft knife and no motor control can do? :) Can I just say that I love your tribal house so much?
Gracias ascensión! Rural es mi estilo favorito!
They look perfect.
