Some of you may remember that, one day as I was looking thru a new
MACKENZIE*CHILDS catalog,
I fell head over heels in love with this SHELF.....
OOO, I thought I couldn't LIVE without it....
have you ever fell that in love with an OBJECT...??
My dear sweet Mr. Sweet got right to work on doing a copy of this expensive shelf....
He absolutely OUTDID himself on this project....
I happen to think HIS copy is much better than the $1,000.00
Mackenzie-Childs original.
and, as in the photo on the right, it looked beautiful in our
entry way in the olden house we just moved out of....
In fact....since there's no entry way in this
pool/guest house,
I wondered if my treasured shelf would work as well here.
Sooo....it lay on the floor for a couple weeks until I decided just where
it would shine
like ART WORK should shine....
...does it SHINE here, in a corner of that huge bedroom....???
...I think it does...
and do you know how great it feels to be surrounded by things you love...?
by things that evoke memories that are priceless....?
He made the shelf....
he made the bench beneath the shelf...
I am blessed.
I love it here....
SOOO....the bookshelves that were in the living room...
the beautiful shelf that was in the entry way...
the vintage mantel that was in the dining room...
the black and white chairs that were in the living room....
are all
right at home in the new master bedroom...
is that cool or what !!! :>)
xoxo, bj
Oh my what a beautiful shelf that Mr. Sweet made. Can I borrow him for about a month LOL. You are so lucky to have a husband that is so handy. My ex couldn't even boil water. It looks just like a MacKinzie Child's original. I have a few items that I am going to try my hand at painting the black/white checks.
ReplyDeleteYour home is certainly coming together great.
Have a great week.
Mary
it looks great. really nice with the black filing cabinets you found.
ReplyDeletei love the colors of your room. so pretty. ( :
ReplyDeletemakes me think of my Grandfather Pop-Pop ... i bet he would enjoy taking a closer look at your husband's handy work. you enjoy. i love your bloggy background. so fun!
You have done very well using the old house things in the new one. Yes, you definitely are blessed in many ways. No matter how well you like the new place, you lived in the old too long to just forget. It is good having memories. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are getting to use some of your favorite things, BJ! It makes moving and down-sizing a bit easier. I get to visit the things we couldn't use when we down-sized over at my daughter's house now! : ) I love this shelf and I remember when you first showed it off. Your hubby did a great job on it, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it when a room and vision comes together. Lovely! Mr. Sweet's shelf is the bomb!!
ReplyDeleteYep! That adorable shelf is shining!
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
It looks great with that red chair and the bench! He's very talented! I can't believe that company was charging $1000. for it!
ReplyDeleteDeanna
Everything is coming together nicely BJ! Enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great as does everything you are doing in your new place!! It is really coming together, but I had no doubt about that. So happy for you and the way things worked out with your move and house selling, but oh so sorry to hear about your blog problems!! I know you will persevere and make the best of it all. Loved seeing all your blue and white yesterday....I have a small set of the Liberty Blue too and sure wish I had gotten more when I could have!! Thanks for sharing your decorating adventures with us all!! Blessings, Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat a stylish shelf. Love the black and white stripes. Mr. Sweet really did a GREAT job. I think the piece looks wonderful where you've placed it.
ReplyDeleteOOO ...You sure are blessed! I love your shelf, Bj, and it looks perfect above the bench. I think your Mr.Sweet is certainly a keeper.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when you have someone who can make so many beautiful things for you. You are getting your new home to look so inviting and I like where you put your shelf. I know you are loving it and I am so happy for you. Take care and have a wonderful week. Hugs and Prayers from your Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteIt is very cool. I remember that shelf. If you came to my home, you would hear that almost everything I have around me has a story......it would take a while, but I remember them all!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful bj and I'm so glad that found a new and perfect place in your home! Special gifts from you oh so sweet and talented hubby!
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces look perfect in your bedroom! The red chair fits right in!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Carol
Hi bj. I've just 'found' you again and have been having a catch up. You've sure been busy lately, your bedroom looks great with the pieces from your old home. Your new home is looking Goooood!
ReplyDeleteDiana
WOW! Your husband is so talented, bj! The McKenzie-Childs catalog always makes me drool as everything in it is so pretty, but the $$$$ everything costs puts me off. I'm glad your found the perfect spot for this beautiful shelf and all the other things your hubby has made for you!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Mr Sweet's looks much better. What talent!
ReplyDeleteBJ, I was so hoping you would be able to use the shelf in your new place. Mr. Sweet's shelf is much nicer, and you are very blessed ;o) xo
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Mr. Sweet sure is a Mr. Wonderful! The shelf looks perfect there, bj!! xo
ReplyDeleteI think it looks absolutely beautiful in your bedroom now! I am so glad you are able to repurpose the things you love for a fresh, new look that still gives you the comfort of being surrounded by your keepsakes and the lovely things Mr. Sweet has made:>)
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have a husband who can make things for you. He does a great job on every thing he does. Glad you found the right place for the shelf. Your new home is really looking good. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteI'm tired... I went to the other blog, there was talk about this one... I had no idea you had two but I kind of missed your posts always so joyful and happy.
ReplyDeleteYour husband is an artist. A generous heart like his couldn't hold all so it turns into wondeful works of craftmanship. It's a wonderful - and again, happy - piece. So glad you found, for now, the place to enjoy it close by.
Many blessings to you and the Mr. in the new Home.
Teresa
That beautiful shelf will look great anywhere. You are so lucky to have a Mr. Sweet.

This is so beautiful and I agree with Audrey up there ..It would look absolutely beautiful anywhere
ReplyDeleteBJ- Do you know your other blog is still up and you can access it? I was on it the other night and there were several showing to be viewing your blog at the same time. I think what ever issue you are having is you being able to access it. It is still live and readable. Suzanne
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful shelf and your husband is talented as well as sweet!! New to reading you, so didn't see it in its old location but it looks like it was made for your master br! Which is a wonderful one!
ReplyDeleteTHAT is cool- very, very cool. I think I wrote and asked you where it was going to go when you moved. Now I know- It is one of the best knock-offs I have seen in blogland- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBJ we are so fortunate to have husbands that are so talented. Love how you have the shelf,bench and chair in your new master bedroom.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks just wonderful to me! It actually has a very "BJ" look about it, if that makes sense. I must like the BJ look because I've tried to copycat it more than once around here. I remember when he built that shelf. Loved it then. Love it now.
ReplyDeleteThat shelf is magnificent! What a treasure your husband must be, so handy with his hands! And it is really neat how all of your treasures find a new configuration in your new home.
ReplyDeleteThe shelve is just gorgeous, BJ! Your mister is a real keeper!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
ReplyDeleteLove the shelf, nice work;)
Love and hugs
