I’m In Trouble

Yup. There is potential trouble a brewing here in Ohio.  I have apparently been bitten by the flea and antique mart bug, known in my area as the Springboro Flea’n’tique Mart.  I showed you the dome clock and the little sugar/creamer set I got?  Well, I was back there the next day getting a little shelf I had seen.

I’d had a little trouble sleeping the night before and as I roamed the house in the dark, found myself thinking about where I was going to put those Beatrix Potter figurines.  Especially since I just added four new white pieces {albeit small pieces} to that glass door cabinet in my kitchen.

I grabbed this little shelf that I had made over for my granddaughter’s china tea sets and don’t you know it was perfect for the figurines.  But this was for the tea sets ~ I couldn’t use that!  So the next best thing? Make one just like it!  This one cost me $8.00 at my new favorite place.

Applique added? Check.  Heirloom White paint? Check.

Beatrix Potter figurines added? Check, check and check!

I’m going to add this in the laundry room ~ either the side wall or the shelves {when I get them}.  It will give me that little bit of pretty I want and make it feel like part of the house {and not just a laundry area}.   The garage door entrance is right in the laundry room.

We use the garage door to enter the house all the time. I’d show you a picture but this is the side of the condo with no windows and the lighting is horrible.  I’m working on that!

I want to thank you for all of your suggestions about that print in my last post.  I’ve had it up since Friday afternoon and I like it more and more as I look at it.  I’m thinking I will try a black chunky frame first.  Of course, I’ll let you know how that looks!

That's the best kind of trouble to be in. Love what you did with it and a perfect place to display those adorable bunnies. Looks awesome. I'm a big fan of Heirloom White.

I have the day free and I'm gonna hit this little shop this afternoon. Maybe I'll even stop in DLM to see if they have my favorite salsa~ I WILL splurge on it. LOL The little shelf is cute all done up in my favorite white. :-) Sue

Oh! Perfect shelf for your BP figurines!! I have some VERY similar, only mine aren't glazed (looks like yours are). I keep them in a box! I have been busy with a precious granddaughter that just made her entrance. I will have to think of a way to display them so she can enjoy!

Your shelf turned out so pretty! After Christmas I am going to look for an old secretary to paint. I have really been wanting one.

I hope you and your daughter make a wreath! If you do, e-mail me a pic and I will post it.

You've been bitten by the bug huh? Well there are worse things! I love flea market/antique malls and could spend hours just looking. I think it's good for the soul to appreciate the past!

Your shelf is perfect for the figurines!

On Tues. the 15th I'm hosting an everything Thanksgiving liny party, please come over and join in.

Very neat shelf re-do! I have a collection of Beatrix Potter figurines, too. I've had them for years and will never part with them. Yours look great on your refurbished shelf.
