Upcycle

I think a lot of you have already seen this picture, but I never did post it on my blog, so here it is. This is a project I've been wanting to do for a LONG time. My cousin once showed me a blog where a woman had added crown molding to her cheap Walmart/Target/IKEA shelves and I liked how it looked. Last month there was a picture of the same project in the Better Homes and Gardens magazine in the section titled "I did it myself" and I thought, okay, let's do this! Originally, I was going to just do white trim but after seeing the picture and talking it out with my cousin, Rachelle, I decided to paint the trim a lovely shade of green. Rachelle helped me get the trim (you should have seen us with our 5 boys at Home Depot--wow. And then she helped me nail most of it up. Marcus helped me, too. I added a long piece of trim to the bottom and top and then two pieces in the middle to make it look like one big piece instead of 3 dinky cheapo ones.

I LOVE IT!
