Stush made me this yesterday...the only thing he had to buy was the beadboard! It's just like the picture and what I love most about it is instead of buying the pegs he used a dowl rod that he already had, makes it look even more prim:) I can't wait to decorate it for Christmas:)
So you can see what I'll be working on...I'm painting it satin black and really distressing it, then he will hang it for me! I think it will really add the primness that I'm looking for to the room. I think "Frosty", that I won from Angie, would look great sitting on the shelf:)Be sure to stop over at Leslie's for more "Whatch Working on Wednesday." Now to get busy on working on Christmas presents:)
I'm thankful for...a husband who really loves me and puts up with my prim ideas:)

ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely the best shelf that I have ever seen! EVER!
He really made that?
I would like to contract him to make some wood stuff for me! LOL
Mmmm! What else can you find for him to make? Now that he is in this creative mood! LOL
Wish Joe had the time and the place to make things like that for me. I have the ideas, but need him to cut and assemble!
That is really a nice shelf.

ReplyDeleteWell Rondell if you aren't the lucky girl! He did a wonderful job on it and spoiling you! lol But then you deserve it - it's your reward for holding off on paying such a price for the manufactured one.

ReplyDeleteHi, It's Robin from The Robin's Nest...
ReplyDeleteI am leaving this message on everyone's blog that signed up for the Stocking Swap.
This is a reminder that everyone needs to send out their stockings to their partners by next Tuesday November 18th. If you have already sent out your stockings please disregard this message and thank you for being so speedy. :)
If anyone is having any trouble sending out their stockings I need to know TODAY. I am very understanding of the tough times some might be going through but do not want to see anyone left out. That would be very sad.
I do hope you all had fun making or buying things for your partners stocking and that maybe some of you made a new friend along the way~♥
Thank you for helping me make this Stocking Swap a success.
Much Love,
Robin
You are so blessed! I love it! Can't wait to see it done and in place!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteStush and my hubby would get along great...and just think how well you and I would make out! LOL!
Stush did a top-notch job on the workmanship!!!
...and I have to agree, the best part is when it costs almost nothin!! :)
Can't wait to see it after ya get all distressed...i know it's gonna be PRIM & PERFECT!
Very very nice Rondell & Stush!
Hugs-Kath
by the way...I'm thinkin I got that side table idea outta the same catalog?! ;)
OH that will be so pretty and what a handy man you have!! Can't wait to see the finished project!!
ReplyDeleteI love that shelf & the price was sure right. I can't wait to see what you do with it for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your evening.
Blessings,
Pam
This looks so great! I wish Jimmy knew how to build things...you're a lucky one for sure! I think your frosty will look perfect there! Hope you've had a great day!<3Lauren
ReplyDeleteWOW - that is awesome Rondell. You are going to need some prim things to hang from the pegs now!! Good thing Christmas is coming!!
ReplyDeleteI love that shelf!! I wanted to comment on the football game you went to. That looked like so much fun. I've only been to one pro game. Didn't care for it much, but thought hey, I'll get to watch the cheerleaders dance at halftime. No such luck, a bunch of overweight (and skinny too) ladies came out and jazzercised for everyone. What a hoot. A bus trip like yours would be very cool!!
ReplyDeleteRondell,
ReplyDeleteLove the shelf the Stush made you!! My hubby is a woodworker also and he has made alot of things for our home. Don't you just love it when they make us prim goodies! Can't wait to see it when you get it all finished.
Cindy
Lucky girl Rondell! I just love it, and can't wait to see Frosty displayed on it.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Stush!
Terry
Well, Stush has really outdone himself this time, hasn't he? Can't wait to see it all primmed up! The snowman will look great against the black.
ReplyDeleteI think I read your question about wool in a comment. I get mine from repurposed suits and skirts at the thrift. 100% wool. I just got 2 of the most beautiful pieces ... pure bright red and another in winter blue! I just washed them up tonight and can't wait to come up with a project to use them. I got them for only 50 cents each! Can you believe it? I hope you can find some at your store too.
Blessings,
Lea
Rondell -
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky girl you are to have a handy husband! Stush did a fabulous job on the peg shelf. Now will he make one for me? LOL
Pam
WOW! What a great job he did! You lucky, lucky woman! Can't wait to see it finished and decorated!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Rondell, Thank you for the nice compliments and for stopping by my blog. I am new to blogging so I am learning as I go. What a handy man you have...my husband also builds furniture, I am always coming up with new ideas for him. He is a good sport about it...we are very BLESSED to have handy husbands!!!!! God Bless....Rhonda
ReplyDeleteI see you have a honey-do too! He did a wonderful job, I love it! Make that man a special dinner for that! LOL
ReplyDeleteWow what a great shelf! Can you send Stush to my house- I really need one of those! LOL
ReplyDeleteWow! Stush has created a prim masterpiece there, Rondell! I can't wait to see it when you finish your painting and primming.
ReplyDeleteYou shelf turned out better than the picture with the pegs for hooks, I can't wait to see how you distress it as well. My hubby is beginning to think I'm going to paint everything black.
ReplyDeleteStush what a great job on the shelf, I can't wait to see it all painted and primed up. It will be so fun to change it with the seasons, I bet you already have a spot picked out for the family picture...
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! Isn't it great to have a hubby that can build things from a picture?!?!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it all decorated....
oxox,
Jo-Anne

ReplyDeleteThe shelf is great, Rondell...your dh did an amazing job on it! Can't wait to see it painted and distressed...I know it's going to be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your shelf...it is so fun when you have someone who can work in wood. I normally do the same with my hubby. But lately he is not as quick as to getting it done :)
ReplyDeleteMy tree skirt is made of material...I am assuming homespun.
I bought it awhile back and just love it!
I want to continue on decorating today...I just love Christmas. All the things that come with it decorations...trees...snowmen...the list can go on...
