I hope you all had a great holiday weekend! Ours was fantastic - my mom and lil bro came down and we had a great weekend and ate way too much food. They took off this morning and I got to work on the shelf I got for a $1 at the Rt. 52 Yard Sale last weekend. Check it out below. (Yeah - I know it says $2 but I talked em down to a $1! I have mad negotiating skills!)
I knew as soon as I saw it - I wanted to redo it and hang it above my sewing desk I just refinished. So approximately 5 minutes after the fam took off this morning, I was changed into my painting clothes and was in the garage dismantling the hardware from the wood. First, I did some spray painting. To get an even coverage around the hooks and the screws, I stabbed them into a piece of cork board.
So easy to get even coverage that way! See! I also got a first coat on the side scroll pieces.
Next, I did two coats of Zinnser's Bulls Eye Water Based Primer and then two coats of Valspar Ultra Premium High Gloss Paint in Woodlawn Bedroom White.
I don't know if I can stay enough about how much I love the Satin Finish Rust-oleum in Black. (No endorsments here - but man I love the finish!) Doesn't it look fantastic!
So here it is - the finished project! Oh I love it!
See how nice it matches with the sewing table! And I love that it only took me a half a day to finish and get it up on the wall!
Oh and let's do one more close up! Man I love that Satin finish!
I think this is the best $1 I ever spent! Totally love how it turned out! Next up - I am going up the wall! I am going to make a Gallery Wall above the shelf. So how high do you think that should go? All the way to the ceiling or to a foot or so from the top?

Fabulous!!!
What an awesome find!!! It's beautiful!!!
WOW! Looks awesome! What a find!!!
The sewing desk and the shelf look like they were re-made for each other. ;) Great job!
What a perfect compliment to your desk! It looks great. As far as your gallery wall goes, I think it all depends on how much stuff you have to throw up on that wall!
That looks amazing. You did a fantastic job!
Beautiful!
Prekrasno!

It's great, Jess! I'm so loving black & white this year. I need to get busy! Thanks for the inspiration.

Love your shelf AND your sewing table. Trash to treasure fabulousness! :)
Oh I love your shelf-great job!!
Excellent price and an excellent redo. I am going to follow so I can see more of your great thrifty redo's.
Amazing! Such an elegant redo!
I cannot believe that you got that for $1 - never mind - I would have paid $2!!! What the heck?!? We don't have deals like that, it seems, up here in Canada. :( It's just beautiful!!!
What a find & you scored at $1!!! Love your paint choices.. I'm putting your shelf in the POPP Spotlight on Saturday... thanks for linkin' up.
Great Job and it is so cute with the desk. Have a great weekend, Vicky
This is incredible! Great job, thanks for sharing too.
Way to go! It looks 100 times better after you got through with it.
Wow! It looks great - especially with the desk!
Well didn't that just turn out gorgeous?
It DOES look amazing!! I Love the black and white together!! Brilliant!
Love this shelf. I will have to try that paint I think....divine.
Looks totally different. Not only beautiful but useful. So cool that you got to it right away too. I tend to accumulate projects.
I found this exact shelf at my local thrift store this week and can't wait to make it over. Thanks for the idea!
I have to comment because like the previous poster, I have this exact shelf! The only difference is mine was a shelf my mom used when my brothers and I were young in the late 80s early 90s as a kids' coat rack. I *almost* gave it to Goodwill since I don't like the varnish/brass, but after seeing your updated version, I love it and am totally going to keep it and redo it. And it was FREE to me. :o) Thanks for the inspiration!
طرق تنظيف خزانات المياه .
الطريقة الاولى .
1- غلق صمامات و منافذ المياه و بخاصة تلك التي تدفع او تزود الخزان بالمياه او بمعني ادق غلق المحبس الذي يوجد بجوار عداد المياه .
2- تحريك الرواسب في قاع الخزان حتى يسهل التخلص منها و الاستمرار في عملية التحريك حتى نجد الماء قد تعكر , تتم تلك العملية بإستخدام فرشاة او عصاة مما يساعد على خروج الترسبات و البقايا و تعلقها بالماء .
3- يتم فتح صنبور الماء البارد القريب من الخزان لتصريف المياه العكرة و يفضل فتح هذا الصنبور حتى لا تنتشر تلك الرواسب و البقايا في شبكة المياه كلها .
4- هنا سيظهر قاع الخزان و جوانبها و يتم كشط اي بقايا او رواسب ما زالت عالقة بالخزان .
5- إخراج المياه العكرة من الخزان عن طريق الصنبور القريب او اي وسيلة متاحة على أن يترك ماء بإرتفاع 30 سم .
6- دفع مياه جديدة الى الخزان عن طريق فتح مصدر المياه مع الصنبور القريب الى أن يتم التخلص من الماء العكر ثم إغلاق الصنبور .
