Wow! You did an amazing job making this shelf! I never would have imagined it started out as some pieces of scrap wood. Thanks for the link. 🙂

Love the shelf for your daughter. When my birthday rolls around maybe I'll get something snazzy...made out of fantastic scraps! lol...
great repurposing; always great ideas at your spot!
Melanie Beth
Wow it came out looking great! I have been looking for something like this for my front room but even really cheap versions are so expensive! I love the way you pieced together things you had on hand, now I just need to go and see what I have lying around...
Suzanne
So pretty. I love it. I'm always amazed at how you take a piece of this and that and make something fabulous!
Candace
Great work! I love how you pieced it all together with your Peddler finds, it looks fantastic! Jaime is lucky to have you. By the way, the deck was incredible and the tables....oh my! 🙂

Gail you aced that shelf... looks absolutely amazing. I can tell you it is built way better than anyone you could buy out there. I am a shelf addict.
I am sure Jamie will cherish that one for a very long time.

You did a fantastic job on this! And I have to tell you, you've inspired me to look beyond the "throw-aways" and transform them into beauties -- I did a Pottery Barn inspired light for today's post -- so THANK YOU for your inspiration! 🙂

The shelf turned out great! Love it! We used to love going into Peddler's Mall when we lived in Louisville! You could always walk out of there with something! One of the many things I miss about Louisville. 🙂

The shelf is gorgeous! You did an amazing job. And it's great that you clearly show how it came together -- including what you think are oops. I bet Jamie is proud to show it off.

Wonderful how you pieced all of the different pieces of wood together and came up with that great shelf. However, I am liking the table you were working on.
Denise
Look out Pottery Barn... your shelf is better than one of theirs of course because you made it with your own hands!
Granny J
The shelf is beautiful and it will mean more to Jamie than any shelf you could have purchased. You did a fantastic job of marrying all those wood pieces together.
I'm off to check out the remodeling guy now.

That came out really great! I never heard of the remodeling guy. Have to save that link.
Crown molding is such a pain to measure and cut, I really hate it. Makes my brain hurt! Love how all the scraps came together to make such a pretty piece!
