This circle shelf was a bargain I found in Homesense, in the sale section. It was a bit battered, had a distressed finish and a world map painted on hessian as the background. I took it home in the hope I could sand it all back and give it a new lease of life. And after a fair amount of sanding and a few coats of paint, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
I've been doing lots of de-cluttering and reorganising this month, but I've still purchased just a couple of new little bits. Like the letter C initial which I just couldn't resist, and the tiny bowls which are perfect for tiny treasures. Its nice to have another surface to put a few of our most recent finds on, like the heart stone and driftwood, reminding me of special days out with the kids.
I love bringing in plants and flowers at this time of year. I have little pots with bulbs dotted around the place and vases of cheery daffodils to brighten the place up. I've noticed the daffodils in the garden are nearly flowering and the snow drops have appeared this week. Spring is definitely on its way! x

You've made a really lovely job of that shelf, and decorated it beautifully. It has quite an outdoorsy feel to it, wonderful. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteThank you CJ! xx
DeleteOh, Caroline, this is wonderful! That shelf is brilliant - amazing that you had the vision to simplify it. The styling is so beautifully balanced and I love all of the objects that you have chosen to use, especially those new bowls. I'm thrilled that you have taken part x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Katy, I'm so glad you like it. I've been meaning to join in for a while - January seemed like a good time! xx
DeleteThis is gorgeous, I love how simple and fresh everything is. Thanks so much for joining in x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I really enjoyed joining in. Cant wait to play along each month! x
DeleteSo in love with the shelf-great job! And your pot of feathers too x
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm quite pleased with how the shelf turned out, the hessian background was so glued - I did wonder if would ever sand off. I should have taken a before pic! xx
DeleteGorgeous! The shelf is beautiful. Sounds like it had quite the transformation. I love the feathers in the pot. It's all very lovely. You have the knack! ;) Bee xx
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Bee! xx
DeleteI love that shelf, it's so different. The feathers in the pot look really fresh.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer, it's a bit unusual isn't it. I think I might need another pot for our feathers soon, this ones getting a bit full. xx
DeleteI love that shelf. Now I'm going to be obsessed with looking for something similar! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd had my eye on similar ones, but for far more money so was pleased with this find. I do love Homesense though - I always come out with something I didn't know I needed! xx
DeleteReally simple and beautiful. I love your styling and the fact you've customised the shelf.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm a sucker for little Observer guides too!

I really like this, it looks beautiful. I wish I wasn't so lazy and was happy to take home DIY projects.. but I know I would end up not bothering and/or doing a botch job of it. I need to get better as these types of projects!
