New wall shelf..

The Man of the House built a new wall shelf for our living room a few days ago.

I painted it in a base coat of dark grey and a second coat of red with mustard on the edges.

Then I "distressed" it by sanding back to the dark layer and some raw wood.

I gave it one more coat of grey over the red to tone it all down.

We are having fun creating our version of "prim" furniture for our eclectic home.

And we just love how this looks at night with the oil lamp lit!
