My entry-way
I found this bookshelf for $15 at a thrift store in West Hollywood. I am sorry I do not have a before picture to show you...it was lost somewhere along the way. The bookshelf was a white damaged piece that offered great height. I spray painted it an eggplant purple and added plywood for the top. I used a Cayman blue acrylic paint for the top and a border of the same eggplant purple.
The shelf provides a place to store and organize those odd bits of pieces that come from being a renter without a hall closet. And it fits perfectly in the space by the front door adding some color and function.
The art piece above was created with an Ikea decal and a canvas splashed in hot pink. Orange and pink together...reminds me of cartoonish ice cream colors, don't you think?
The entry way shelf was also a bargain for $3 from a thrift store in Santa Monica. It originally had a shabby-chic white appeal that could have been left untouched. But, I had spray paint of a Robin's nest color that I was dying to try so this shelf played the victim. I have the essentials that I need for my day there, which is perfect for someone who frequently leaves their keys in the front door and wallet in the driver's seat overnight. Plus, I don't forget the canvas bag when going to the market, which has a fun graphic of Mother Nature on it. There really are so many cute canvas bags out there and so much better for the environment. Go out and buy one today if you don't use one already!
