'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!
