Hello Monday!  I’ve Got The Monday Blues.  And I would love to share them you you.  I think you will have the Monday Blues, too after seeing these beauties.

This creative blue is from my friend Gracie at Kitchen Table Art.

Gracie has a tiny kitchen.  So, she and her hubby made their own pantry with a bookshelf and a homemade screen door.

 I know-how awesome is that?  So creative and a perfect fit for their kitchen. Check out the blog for more details…Thanks for sharing my love of blue Gracie.

As for my fave blue around our home this week…

I would have to choose something from here:

The blue basket is cute..but…

I did a makeover with the $3.00 shelf!!

Yep, she is now a pretty blue in our office!!

I started off by using a white primer on her.  No sanding, just primer.

 Then I added paint from an old paint can called Turquoise Mist by Olympic.

I seriously have had this can of paint for over 2 years and have used in several places in our home.  I loved how it is thick and glumpy!  Just right for what I need.

Love those chunks of blue paint, don’t you?  With the Green (Hint of Olive by Ace Hardware), I filled my paint brush with paint and let it drip on the shelf.  Love me some imperfection.

I really like the added texture with the blue and green chunky paint…

Once she was dry, I sanded her edges for some aging.  It was a treat to use my Cardboard Chalkboard and my floating frames on the shelf.  I made the blue tulle wreath for our son’s wedding open house.  The book page flowers add more texture. And for the final touch-a few strands of great-grandma’s lace.

Love love love my $3 thrifted “new” shelf.  I hope you enjoy the Monday Blues as much as I do!!  I share my blues every Monday!!  So come back again!!

Make it a Blue Monday!!
