Like a Vintage Shelf...


Today, I want to share my latest DIY!

As you can see, the place under the kitchen counter was empty.



Put a new shelf there, which I thought was not suit with our living room, because it had too smooth  materials.

So, I decided to reform it to a vintage-like!

Firstly, I tried putting some thin boards painted on three drawers. How do they look???




Okay, let's take a look how I did!




After painting the board with brown and ivory, sanded them  with abrasive paper.



Then,  put it with strong double-stick tape on a surface of a drawer. 




And put a drawer knob on it! This knob costs about US$1.00!!





I've been busy with my job, so, it took about 6 months to complete, hahaha...






Now, I'm happy to look at this corner, the shelf finally goes well with our living room!



I feel happy, but my sons and my husband didn't notice that it has changed, at all,  hahaha...
