My Vintage Shelves

April 4, 2013 By Meegan 11 Comments

After Easter was over, I decided to change my shelves.  I like to use them a focal point.  They are one of the first things you see as you walk in in our home.  So it is fun to change them up and move things around.  This time was no exception.  I am calling these my vintage shelves because the items look vintage.  They may not really be vintage.  But, it works for me. (hehe)

Actually a lot of these things are either from Hobby Lobby or the thrift store.  Score!!

Would you like to tour my vintage shelves??  Alrighty then, let’s get going!!

 

Vintage ShelvesThey are filled with things I love.

Vintage ShelvesOn the top you will find a finial that I purchased at HL.  Gotta love HL!!  I just love the colors and the aged, vintage look.  The candlesticks are both thrift finds that I painted with a flat white paint.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe large frame is usually hanging in the TV Room (which is now an office, a reveal on that coming soon!!)  The stenciled  fleur de lis is a project I hung in the guest bathroom for awhile. For now they look happy on my vintage shelves.

Vintage ShelvesThe bottom shelf holds another fur elise frame, along with an apothecary jar, family subway art (sorry, I don’t know where I got it-I found it long before I had a blog), and a silver candlestick that is a thrift find.  The door knob plate is also a HL find.  Love the color and detail.

Vintage ShelvesI love the feel of vintage with whites, blues, greens, and a little silver.  That must be why I like these shelves so much!!

Vintage ShelvesThis apothecary jar is a thrift find.  I like it filled with dried hydrangeas.

Do you have shelves or a mantel you like to decorate??

Vintage ShelvesThese shelves just make me smile!!  They have the colors, feel, and style I like.

I hope my shelves have inspired you to decorate your shelves, mantel or bookshelves this week!!

    Love the eclectic choice of items but yet the color scheme is consistent that it works really well.
