Hey Hey! Y’all remember the ladder shelf from last week’s Monthly DIY Challenge? The one I couldn’t figure out how I wanted to paint? Well, I put a poll out there for you awesome people to weigh in and I LOVED the results. The majority chose WHITE SHELVES with GOLD LEGS! That’s so me!!
Once the poll closed I got busy painting, I broke some spray painting rules though, cuz ya know, that’s how I roll. It’s technically too cold to spray paint, but I thought it was worth the risk. And the WHITE spray paint turned out just fine! Unfortunately I tried brushing on two different golds and they both just did not look great:
So, I decided to try out a mint color I had on hand, on the legs. I still don’t feel absolutely in love with it, but it’ll do for now. I might change it up later on when I don’t have so much on my plate. I also added these minty green glass knobs from Home Goods.
Right now it’s holding different paints and craft supplies in the Laundry + Craft Room. I’m behind schedule on that room but I will have an update for y’all soon! Life happens right? I’m sick AGAIN and so is my partner in crime, my hubby Joel. Two out of 3 kids were sick last week so I’m doing all I can to take a shower every day much less get projects done!
Hope you like the way this shelf turned out. Do you have an leftover drawers hanging around you want to re-purpose? Be sure to check out all of the organizing solutions from the Monthly DIY Challenge!
