She's Crafty...a feature!

...



Hey there, it's time for my weekly feature I like to call "She's Crafty"!  Today I'm featuring Marissa from her new blog Home Sweet Homebodies for her simply adorable little shelf revamp

Yup, she took this old shelf from drab to fab and here's where it all began...yikes, this shelf is b-o-r-i-n-g!  But Marissa saw potential.


First, she gave this baby a little black glossy spray paint love...


Then she added this fabulous scrapbook paper...don't you just love this damask pattern?  It's so chic...love that!


Marissa used Mod Podge to adhere the scrapbook paper, then added cute little knobs.  Yup, that's it...what a fun n' easy week-end project!  


Here we've got a little side view action...ca-ute!  I love the clean lines of this shelf in contrast to the traditional design of the paper.


And here it is finished and all gussied up with Valentines day decorations! 


Great job Marissa!  You are definately one crafty chic!  If you get the chance, stop by and visit Marissa at Home Sweet Homebody.  She's new to this crazy blogging world, so let's give her a warm welcome! 

And regarding Frugalicious Friday this week...Did you see, did you see?  We had over 125 people link up their fabulous finds, crafts and Diy projects!  Holy Moly, think of all the money we $aved!  Thanks for linkin' up and I'll have the Recap for you on Tuesday, and announce the winner of that fabulous burlap pillow from Flea Market Trixie then too!

I love that shelf! We have an old dark cherry shelf at work and no one wants to claim it! Hmmm.....

What an awesome blog you have here! Love the shelf redo. I have a similar shelf and this is a super way to bring mine from drab to fab. ♥
