This shelf once hung on the downstairs wall. I almost gave it away when it fell off the wall... It was painted in a hideous speckled paint, and I am actually glad that the person I offered it to forgot to take it home.
So there it sat on the floor untouched for a few weeks.
After getting around to cleaning the room I found the shelf again and decided to sand it and re-paint it.
I went with a black undercoat and used my Martha Stewart specialty finish paint in Penny Copper, on top of the black.
After drying it and hanging it up, it became my perfume shelf.
I'm actually really glad I decided to take the time to restore it and put it to use.
Unlike the previous owner who nailed it right into drywall (no wonder it fell!), I found the stud and nailed it in. I then used more nails on the lower area to make hooks for my necklaces.
