These were a couple of corbels I purchase in Oronoco (thanks Georgia for directing me to the dealer who had them!)

I'm not one to "build" a lot of things,  mainly repurpose them or build them on a smaller scale, so this was a bit of a step for me.  But when I saw these, I knew they would make a perfect shelf.  I would have liked to have left them chippy (I love chippy), but part of them was completely unpainted.  I actually think this turned out quite well, if I do say so myself!

You did a fabulous job on the shelf!! Very creative and versatile. It could be used for a lot of different things.

Way to go,

You guys were a lot of fun and when I get back there again I am looking you up and we are goin' out! I love that idea. Take care my friend and we will talk soon, geo Posted: 3:50 pm on September 5th

CottageElements writes: Geo, I'd love to go dumpster diving with ya! Maybe if you come back to MN. I'd bet we'd have a gas!

As to more projects, my mind is spinning now. I've got a couple metal table frames that are needing new tops that I've been too afraid to tackle . . . hmmmm . . . I think I may go for it! I'll let you know.

georgiamoon writes: Well, well, well, I'd say so too! You did an amazing job and I love it! Now there will be no stopping you...once you get one larger project under your belt it changes the way you look at things. Next thing you know you'll be dragging an old couch frame through a dirt parking lot by yourself because you can't leave anything behind!!! Well that's what happened to me when I changed the scope of what projects I knew I could pull off. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Love ya, geo Posted: 4:36 pm on September 4th

Love your shelf - the beadboard was a great choice too - very nice style! I think you're definitely a builder now! (There could be some serious power tools in your future!!!)

LuAnn, good luck at the antique market!

This is impressive. I love everything about it. I guess you can't say "you're not on to build" anymore! Way to go.

Take care,
