The Shelf that Mr. Sweet Built....

 

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 !!! :>)
