Let's play VINTAGE THINGY THURSDAY with SUZANNE of COLORADO LADY again...*
This is a little vintage FURNITURE make-over that I have shown before....
I needed some cuteness on this little wall ....*
I was shopping at our local arts and crafts mall and came across this delightful little sign...
Loving graphics and words so much, I fell in love with it...took it home without a
clue where it might go...I especially loved the khaki and black....
*
It fit JUST PERFECTLY on my newly painted bookshelf...
(this was several years ago, tho)
how lucky is that !
*
Three baskets (from Michael's) fit perfectly across one shelf....
and I am thinking..."I like this....A LOT"
*
So, I went back to the store, bought 6 more baskets and....
WALLA... a POTTERY BARN LOOK-ALIKE...heh heh...
Lots of added storage space for all kinds of things....and....
I even have 2 of the baskets....
STILL EMPTY !! WHOA......
(HEY...maybe I can put more DISHES in them !.......ya think ?

I, like all of you, just love re -purposing!!
It's FUN !!

This is so cute! I love the black and you are right..such a pottery barn look alike...and I am sure a better price! Love it. Have a great weekend.
BJ this is still one of my favorite redos of yours!!!! I love painted furniture! Hope you are having a great week girl!
What a great idea--turned out so nice!
Sounds like more dish shopping is in the future. You can't have empty baskets!!! Sally
That is so pretty. I love how the black make the baskets pop.
Fabulous! And much nicer than PB!
Great shelf redo, BJ! I love those baskets!
Excellent! And, that clock and accessories shown have solved a troublesome spot for me in my home. I just love visiting and learning.
Aw, that looks so cute! I just love how you used the baskets.
All the best,
Allison
Well that turned out very nice. I like the look of the baskets and the little added extras.
Molly
Love your baskets ! Thanks for stopping by my blog, I am by yours very often. Found it through my very sweet cousin Diane. Texas, you are not to far from us, we are in TN ! Really enjoy your blog, have a very blessed week.
Love the makeover shelf! The baskets are great and what a wonderful storage idea! Happy Thursday, BJ!
Diane
that shelf looks great! And the baskets are so good looking, and when I think of all of the hidden storage -- You made me start looking for shelves to put baskets on at my house! laurie
Nice work BJ I like it a lot-& I'm with you, unless it's gorgeous wood why not paint it?!
BJ, great job! I love painted furniture too! look so cottagey with baskets and lil' signage. Happy VTT
Your shelf makeover looks great, BJ. It's amazing what a little paint and some cute baskets can do for a piece. The sign looks like it was made to go there:-)
Rhonda
You have an eye for decorating, that is for sure! Nice display, and love the ABC's!
I love your shelf, BJ ... the baskets were a great idea. I love the sign and the clock, too. And it has SO much more personality than Pottery Barn stuff!
Perfect! Pottery Barn would be proud. :)
Love this look. I have been starting to add some black things to my decor. Love it!
Have a great day, Denise
You are soooo good at this! I always learn something from you!
LOVE it!! You have some of the neatest things for each post!
Perfect!
But hurry and fill those baskets! You don't want them feeling unloved. ;)
Perfection for that old bookcase--love the whole look and what a great way to hold "treasures". I am very fond of our alphabet and have stenciled it many times.
It's PERFECT! I can't imagine that anyone wouldn't want it just like it is, all painted pretty. Who IS that foolish woman who said she didn't like painted furniture?
WOW! I love the way thay turned out BJ. You have the best decorating ideas!
Hugs,
Penny
I love how this looks and I know it must have been a tiny fractiuon ofg what it would have cost at Pottery Barn! You have such a great eye for putting things together:>)
Bj
You are so creative! The shelf looks great.
Have a great day,
Diane
Very creative BJ. Looks like a million bucks!
I like it! I have a piece that I want to paint one of these days.
Have a great day!
Betty
This looks great and something that can actually be used!
Great job, BJ. Right decision in painting the shelf black.
Hello sweet BJ! Oh I am loving this shelf! Great job!
Debbie from NJ
the letters were really the perfect touch!!!! :) Actually I think I NEED that piece. One look at the magazines on my living room floor and you would know why ;)
Stephanie
Great re-do and I'm likin' your idea to use it for always needed storage! I really do love that ABC sign - be perfect for an old retired school teacher like me, wouldn't it? Thanks for dropping by my blog! PAM
totally perfect for that wall!!
that looks really good. I love the ABC sign on the top and the baskets are great.
You did a great job. I love baskets and yours look really great.

Hi most precious BJness! Oh, it's good to get to come and visit with you! I love your little shelf and the baskets look like they were made for this. Hope all is well in your world.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
perfect makeover. it looks great.
Very nicely done. I love the "Pottery Barn" look alike baskets and I love that you painted the shelf black. It makes everything stand out.
That looks great! And I'm a little jealous of the empty baskets - I could never have empty baskets in my house! lol.
How I LOVE to organize!! I just never do it! :)
(How the heck did I miss this one????)
Smiles~
