Little Green Shelf

I saw this cute little thing at my local Goodwill the other day. It was love at first sight.

It looks like it used to be some kind of hutch or something...but I had other plans for her.

I had Hubby cut off the bottom part, since she was going on the wall.

I actually liked her just the way she was in her

 dirty yellow, and could just leave her like that, but where is the fun in that?

So, I sprayed her with a green Pistachio from Krylon (after priming , of course...I am a really responsible

 painter these days).

I antiqued a little with an ooold tube of artist's Burnt Umber, that I just rubbed on a little here and there.

And, of course, distressing...love that!

The black and white paper I decoupaged on the back looked too bright and stark on

 this otherwise older looking piece, so I rubbed that with the Burnt Umber, too.

And here she is.......isn't she lovely? Makes me want to break

 into song:

 "Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful? na na na na na..."

Hu Uhm..never mind.

Once again:

What do you think? Have you made any fun purchases at the thrift store lately?

Let me know. I would love to read about it!
