Something about life at the Heap has made me a lot more sentimental than I used to be. Not just about family heirlooms either. I love things that come from a simpler time, when life looked more like ours does and no one thought that was weird. So when my dad asked me if I wanted a shelf that he made for his grandmother it was a no brainer. Of course I do!
The shelf is made of metal, with lovely cast metal panels and glass shelves. It was also rusty and in need of some TLC. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. It's a pretty simple redo, really- just a coat of paint and some glass cleaner had it fixed right up.
It's beautiful, if I do say so myself. I love the bright, fun color and the extra storage space is pretty fantastic too.
And speaking of sentiment- see that Bible? That was gifted to my parents when they married 39 years ago. I love having it.
All decorated for Christmas- isn't it pretty?
