C.R.A.F.T. # 55: Goodwill Shelf Makeover

I have a confession…
 I love Good Will... [shop/give] LOVE it ALL. it is fun for me…
I LOVE to get rid of stuff, there are always new things, 
always cheap, and it is a form of recycling!
 
Continuing the effort to fix up my multi-purpose room, I took a little trip to Goodwill to look for shelving options… 
Here is what I found:
Lovely, right? The BF told me the square shelf  looks like it should hold his  grand ma’s spoon collection on a wall.

Not to worry, a little love can fix these right up :)

First, the BF helped me bust out the fancy, curvy, stuff on the square shelf.  
Second, gave both shelves some spray paint love…the same spray paint I used for the desk.

Third, the BF helped me hang them on the wall :)
 all of the glass containers came from good will too…
59 cents a piece :)

[I made some hand written labels to organize craft supplies!]

  8. I love the idea of using different shaped glasses as an alternative to glass jars. They look so cool and funky when they're sort of mis-matched (but not)!

  9. Great idea! I really need to get my craft room organized. It's starting to look like an episode of hoarders. Thanks for the idea!

  21. Hi! I am a new follower! so happy to find another Thriftaholic! What is it about thrift stores, a can of spray paint and some bits and bobs no-one else wants that get us just SO excited? LOL! Like you I just LOVE making something lovely from something old and unwanted! My only sadness is that my nearest thrift store is some 400 KM away, but boy when I do go there… well!

    Looking forward to seeing more of your ideas!
