'Le Poulet' Stepping Out in WHITE!

My chandelier is up and sooo beautiful, I couldn't be happier

with it...then you ask, why aren't I showing it then?

Well

I'm

not

happy

with

my

dining room

it's got some unfinished business...

I have a HUGE problem, a very unsightly problem...

Years ago, maybe 20 or so, I just had to have shelves

up in my dining room...I know what you're thinking,

of course, we ALL looove shelves to display our treasures!

But I didn't just settle for any ole self,

ohhh no,

 I wanted cute little country shelves surrounding my 'Oh so Little dining room'.

I thought it would be a piece of cake taking them down and

maybe I'd even like them up in my itsy little craft room, to help

out with my cramped enviroment...but my MacGiver explains

(being the painter in the family) that because the shelves have

been painted around at least twice and possibly three times,

they'd leave an unsightly ring around the tub...I mean room, sooo

you see my dilemma, he says the room would have to be sanded and

re-textured, so he tells me the shelves are now part of the room...

So

I've decided if that's so, then they of course have to be white and I'll

just load them up with something I looove!

Like I said, he's the painter (that's what he does for a living),

and he's up to his eyeballs in work(I'm not complaining), but,

he can't take the time right now to paint them and truthfully he

will do a much better job than I would, so I'm resigned

to either getting my nerve up to show you my

beautiful chandelier, that would also show my unsightly

80's country shelves...or wait until he can make them

a bit more tolerable for me!

So in the mean time, as you know by now, I looove going

to thrift stores and I usually go at least once a week

or twice if I feel the need, so I'm able to find some pretty

cool pieces once in awhile.  I've decided to share

a fun little couple that I found a few months ago, but

just painted this last week, I'm pretty happy with

how they fit in, maybe someday you'll even see

them on my dining room table!
