A Woman's Prerogative

Do you remember a while back, when I tried using
other paint colors besides satin black?

Do you remember this homeless tin shelf
that started out a deep red?
And then became a lovely tan?Well, I changed my mind.
It's a woman's prerogative isn't it?
I finally decided where I wanted the shelf,
so I had to do a second makeover.

This is what it looks like now.I painted the fleur de lis details to show them off.
Now it looks right at home.

  6. I like the tan but the white looks fabulous against the red wall. Would you explain to my hubby that it is a woman's perogative to change her mind - he doesn't get it. :-)

  26. I love it too, but I am wondering...is it too high on the wall or is it just right? Sometimes it's hard to know the scale from a photo. I love the way you picked out the fleur de lis detail!
